Multumim Max Lima pentru postare! Este superb,ca orice lucrare muzicala interpretata de Martha Argerich! Nuantarea desavarsita si tehnica muzicala sunt impecabile!! Silvia Baciu

Fantastic news! This recording will be released in January and is available on Amazon! Martha Argerich LIVE series - Vol 10

[@789armstrong]

An immortal performance among the best ever. Octave glissandos at 23:10

[@carlitomelon4610]

Now available on CD: Martha Argerich Live, Vol. 10 Also streaming on Qobuz complete with some tape hiss/artefacts and a few coughs to prove it's live cred. (I also noted that one high register note seems to ping rather than ring on right of soundstage;-) But Martha blows through it all with this passionate recital. Sounds like it was originally a radio broadcast. Glad this rare gem has been preserved for home appreciation! 🎵🎶🤫🎶🎵

Extraordinary to say the least, Max, an excellence rarely heard with this piece, Martha's performances are legendary to say the least.

[@Charlie-vf8hw]

appreciate this because the other recording of this performance on youtube cuts off just before the final cadence

Quelle interprétation fabuleuse…

intense comme le feu!

Delighted to have this available, as the post that's been up was missing the last two chords!

MAX thank you for uploading this treasure! I'm just too happy to hear Martha's Waldstein! I send you my heartfelt thanks! And I'm kind of proud as a Japanese that this is a live performance in Tokyo...💕💕

Thank you!! This is great !! Also I love Martha but I prefer more intimate sound for this piece like Brendel. But appasionata it would be great if Martha recorded. Sadly she never did it

It’s like I’ve never heard the piece till now. I might need to get more into it

[@MaxLima1]

Enjoy, Pablo!

[@guillote75]

The tempo in the Allegro con brio is a bit too fast IMHO. I wonder what tempo would she choose today.

[@marisasw]

Amazing. Do you know what other works she played on the November 6th, 1953 concert?

[@MaxLima1]

There you go! - First part D. Scarlatti Sonata in E major (probably K.380) Sonata in D minor (probably K.141) Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Sonata No.21 in C Major, "Waldstein" - Second part Johannes Brahms 2 Rhapsodies, op. 79 Felix Mendelssohn Rondo capriccioso, Op.14 Frédéric Chopin Nocturne in C minor, Op. 48 No.1 Scherzo in B-flat minor, Op. 31 - Third part Julián Aguirre Aires Criollas No.1 and No.2 Gabriel Fauré Nocturne in B major, Op. 33 No.2 Maurice Ravel Jeux d'eau

[@lazza1160]

Does she play the octave as a glissando or split hands?

[@MaxLima1]

I am not sure, but I believe she doesn't split hands here (she does it on Beethoven Piano Concerto No 1, though)

[@bw2082]

Martha’s scales are so fast they can sound like glissandi… i honestlY can’t tell what she’s doinG here.

Have Martha ever played this sonata again after this recording? I once heard that she played Beethoven not often, even she was afraid to play it

[@MaxLima1]

Martha plays Beethoven very often (especially his piano concerti no. 1 and 2)

[@junseo3657]

Thank you for replying :) I fell in her enthusiastic works currently! Did she played Beethoven concerto 4th or 5th? I found others, but they were not
