Brahms - Rhapsodie no.2, Op.79 (Martha Argerich)

[@davidtatro7457]

Probably my favorite interpretation of the G minor Rhapsody, and to think that she was only 18 or 19 years old when this was recorded. Just phenomenal.

[@maik4999]

聴き比べて今ここに辿り着いていますが、まるで人が話しているかのような緩急だと感じました。気難しいとされていたブラームス、このように感情が揺れ動く様がしっくりきます。その表現は本当に素晴らしいと思います。

The notes of her performance are clear and simple.If you know,the style of Brahms is very simple but deep.This is how Martha Agerich performed the song.

[@willemboone7912]

It's not a song!

[@Qee7en]

@@willemboone7912 It is, actually. In ancient Greek, part of the stem is (probably, I know it is disputed) that of "oide", or ode, song. So... yea, for once, someone is actually correct in referring to an instrumental piece as a song, lol.

Her music is so captivating, it's like it reaches out and grabs your soul. The passion is unreal!

[@gregs.2679]

What a charming performance, and now I'm feeling like I missed out on something culturally important for the first 60 years of my life simply because this is the first time I've heard Sra. Argerich's take on Brahms. Even as a child, I had plenty of recordings of her doing Chopin, Schumann, and most of the other notable masters of the piano but, bizarrely enough, never Brahms. The commenter just below who stated that Brahms' style is very simple yet deep hit the nail on the head, and Marta is certainly one of the best at balancing seemingly contradictory forces like that.

Un Brahms temperamental. Argerich capta maravillosamente los claroscuros de la obra, tanto en su fuerza como en su gran dulzura. Me gusta

[@zuhairbakdoud1360]

Very convincingly played… she understands the composition (who am l to say such a thing….).

Gran p8anista muy joven en aquel entontonses. Mi Rapsodhia favorita. 🇮🇷🫣

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

The only time I ever liked this piece due to a revelatory performance by Miss Agerich. BRAVA!

[@MarkGond]

Schumann loved this music

[@marcogiorgi4737]

maybe...but Ican't stand how:Schumann died in 1856 and Brahms wrote the piece in1879...I would say that Schumann would have appreciate it..

[@mariaceciliamaringonidecar904]

Wunderschoene Interpretation!

[@harriethtw]

This piece reminds me of Beethoven’s Op. 57 Appassionata…dark, haunting, subconcious, surging, soaring, volcanic…

I'm trying to emulate Martha Agerich's interpretation of this song for a recital. Making the fast parts sound as clear and beautiful as her is not easy.

Leider war VIEL zu WENIG Brahms in ihrem Repertoire.Statt der 150zigsten Version des Schumann Konzerts oder der Kinderscenenen hätte sie Brahms spielen sollen. Schade,nun wird es nichts mehr werden.Umso kostbarer solche wenigen Aufnahmen.

Das lyrische 2.Thema ist wunderbar wie auch der ganze Mittelteil.Die Temposchwankungen im Hauptteil kann ich nicht nachvollziehen,auch das Decrescendo im Eröffnungsgedanken: Brahms notiert eindeutig ein Crescendo.Gratulation!

[@MorbidMayem]

She played the exact opposite of what Brahms wrote in the first 8 measures. Cf. the crescendi where she plays decrescendi. And that’s because she puts too much power in measures 1-2 and 5-6.

[@robbydyer4500]

Seductive and exciting, like a cat playfully chasing and devouring a mouse. Yet another "dark and gleeful feminine" take on this fatalistic work; perhaps the most representative, but without the corresponding authentically tragic masculinity it is difficult to achieve a definitive interpretation. At least it's fun . . . . EDIT KZbin is blocking further comments or replies I make here, so I am forced to answer the two subcomments below like this: I had tried replying to the first subcomment by Emma Zheng by asking whether one must be male in order to express masculinity. Argerich's performance is certainly valid and even representative, but not the definitive masculine interpretation which I seek. To the second subcomment by Ikoipz I had agreed that Argerich's performance is phenomenal, and that I might have been feeling sardonic or taciturn when I made my original comment after searching for many hours (and beyond that, years) for the definitive version which marries both the emotional and philosophical depth of this piece in one. The "old, authentic" expression of the work has apparently never been fully realized on tape. That said, this is likely the standard reference and will remain so for a long time. My search for the ultimate rendition may, however, be likewise near-indefinitely extended.

[@emmazheng8915]

So from what I deduct from your interpretation, however much possible, is that Argerich's performance isn't valid, because she's not a man?

[@ikoipz8242]

Talk about rude, I believe that Argerich's interpretation and performance of this piece is phenomenal. Although the "tragic masculinity" might be "authentic", new trends come, and clearly her work shows a new and better side of this piece !

[@eliseyoder1269]

"Dark and gleeful feminine"? Oh, for Pete's sake.

[@nadeemlo]

I really like Perahya's interpretation, you should check it out

[@davidloveday8473]

@robbydyer4500 Whilst recognizing that you do praise Argerich's performance here, and without in any way doubting the honesty of your views, I have to say that what you say about your search for the definitive masculine version of this piece strikes me as a complete load of tosh. If you think that music and its performance (or elements thereof) can be reduced to such narrow concepts as masculine or feminine, then I fear your understanding of music is limited.
