There is an irresistible momentum in Martha Argerich's playing. It is brilliant but not flashy, it is powerful but not brutal, it is sensitive but not maudlin, it is her and nobody else.

[@donniewatkins3040]

She is in her 80’s and still wonderful!!

[@carlosurbanejasilva1881]

Out of this world. The one and only Martha Argerich.

[@marceloverzoni6270]

Thank you forever, Martha.

[@drrabner47]

What an incredible performance. I have run out of superlatives to describe Martha Argerich…..at any age.

[@bjornostlund4079]

One of the most important concert films with her. Great conductor. They also toured Japan with the Prokofiev no 3…

[@robertjones447]

And Leinsdorf, in addition! Stellar performance!

[@robertjones447]

@leestamm3187 - Check this out!

[@ItalianKing25]

This is my favorite Argerich performance of the Liszt Concerto #1 in Eb. So much power, brilliance, and lyricism. And she played the concluding octaves at 17:20 so fast! Even faster than she played them during other performances of this concerto.

[@kimthevirtuoso]

as the queen of octaves should be!

[@julia-hj8rb]

Las palabras son insuficientes para alabar esta maravilla. Que viva la reina Argerich!

[@user-tk4ce8dq4q]

Pure perfection. Dot. The end. ❤

[@thibomeurkens2296]

Thank you soo much!! I was looking for this after watching the documentary “Martha Argerich evening talks”

[@alegal752]

I love Martha forever😍

[@TheIpazia1]

Grazie mille per la condivisione Charles, una meraviglia sia da vedere ma soprattutto da ascoltate, bravissima Martha! 💕

[@strawberry3634]

Such a legendary video! Thank you so much for uploading the video.

[@eddfdc]

Thank you for this real gem... amazing performance!!

[@rolandonavarro3170]

Incomparable Marthita 👏

[@ilirllukaci5345]

She reminds me of my mother when she was young.

[@huismanq]

Thank you once again! I remember there was a fragment of this in Georges Gachot's documentary and I always found it sensational. Great to see the whole performance now!

[@789armstrong]

Probably the greatest performance this piece has ever known.

[@daniels7052]

Definitely this and the 1981 recording as well

[@maksimryslyaev4794]

I think Liszt played this better

[@jjgghhjk]

​@@maksimryslyaev4794but he didn't record any.

[@yoyogie69]

Cziffra played it better

[@radudanbaciu8198]

Inegalabila,Matha Argerich, superba interpretare,o bucurie sa asculti acest mare talent,un adevarat regal! Multumiri pentru postare!

[@markgreen2146]

圧倒的な説得力と情熱。それでいて決して大袈裟にならない、ガチャガチャしない。テクニック、表現、そして美しさも最高域であった時のアルゲリッチ！！！ 私の人生はアルゲリッチと共にある。

Perfecta. Gracias por compartirlo.

[@skyrim7750]

Oh, man. So many thanks

[@lucascanalda]

Martha my dear ❤

[@gerontius34]

There has been an excerpt with the first movement turning up on KZbin for several years, but what a fantastic experience to see the whole performance. My gratitude Charles! Leinsdorf didn't care for Liszt (according to his autobio), but I cannot imagine that he would not have loved Martha's effortless prowess in one of Liszt's greatest works. I grew up near Boston when Leinsdorf was director of the BSO, and I still remember a concert with Serkin playing the Mozart D minor and my first exposure to the Brahms Bb.

[@william-michaelcostello7776]

Grew up in Boston with Leinsdorf also. Did many great concerts and not so many great ones

[@gerontius34]

@@william-michaelcostello7776 Judging by the RCA recordings issued during L's reign, things were rather a mixed bag, though that is another discussion. I attended very few BSO concerts as a boy, a bit highbrow for my parents, though every year we went to the Pops. Arthur Fiedler was kind of a God in Boston at the time, and he had an incredible charisma, hard to describe. But the evenings were always so festive, and I did learn new (serious) repertoire.

[@william-michaelcostello7776]

@@gerontius34 I grew up in Symphony Hall. Under Leinsdorf the BSO won some Grammies. Leinsdorf’s first wife was a big stock holder at RCA

[@doGreatartistsgrowontrees]

Whoa! Fabulous, and grateful to find this.

[@teresamcglone1036]

Fantastic! Muchas Gracias Charles.

[@hyweldavid3661]

Thanks again, Charles. Just marvellous. London 1973? I've been in the Festival Hall a squillion times but I have no recollection of the curved edge to the platform. Then again at my age the memory ebbs and flows. Hywel x

[@lifesgood9]

Great

[@Living-the-Classical-Life]

Incredible ✨

[@bercg]

At 6:20 now that's a hairDO honey lol. It would be fascinating to know what Liszt, arguably the most influential pianist and piano teacher of all time, would have thought of Martha's playing.

[@r.i.p.volodya]

INCREDIBLE!

[@vivianrodriguez818]

Maravillosa.... Argerich

[@zebeauv]

Wahou qu’elle était belle !!

The octaves!

[@renelicht]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@ulisescenturion7382]

the best liszt piano concerto ever

[@brynjarhoff-lr6hw]

Sombody meen this can be the gratest performance of Liszt concerto nr.1. I think the same,at least with a ladypianist.

[@cristianrdu]

Amazing video Charles, is there any chance you have some materials with Martha at the Enescu Festival?

[@CharlesCouineau]

Thanks! No unfortunately I don't think I have material from the Enescu festival

[@user-vw2ot8dz1j]

great I want to hear Tchaikovsky, which she performed under the direction of Dutoit in 1980.

[@neo5982]

腕の動きが美しい

[@sevkiye1940]

Another posting - first movement only - gives Berlin June 1969 as date of performance. What are the grounds for London 1973? Venue?

[@hyweldavid3661]

Is it possible that it is not London at all but Paris? The Festival Hall doesn't to my knowledge have a curved edge to the platform.

[@stephenharland6000]

And the audience in black tie..not a RFH tradition.

[@jones2786]

!!

[@monstrul]

Plus virtuose que Horowitz.

[@borisbrinkmann]

Würde heute auch kein Dirigent mehr wagen - sich während der Einleitungstakte am Klavier festzuhalten.

[@nicolasgut6534]

hab ich auch gedacht hahahaha..

[@radovanlorkovic3562]

Wenn als einzige Richtung der Originalität eine Steigerung der Geschwindigkeit übrig bleibt wird es nicht besser, sondern nur undeutlicher.

[@william-michaelcostello7776]

Great performance, boring lousy camerawork

[@MorganHayes_Composer.Pianist]

@lourensg on the whole true. However, from the 60s, there's an astounding film (must have been very expensive to make) of Tchaik 1 with Weissenberg/ Karajan. if anything, it's a bit over choreographed. Here, there's more sense of spontaneity/ live occasion.

[@scottcolebank9088]

Claustrophobic camera work - I don't need to see the triangle player's fingernails.

[@litaseymour3975]

I'm not making a comparison guys but don't forget that liberace had some extremely good fingers himself lol just saying don't have a cow lol

[@william-michaelcostello7776]

@@litaseymour3975 True. In 1 film he did 1st movt Tchaikovsky’s 1 in one take and brilliantly.

[@hiranomasao7589]

I kind of like this camera work as there are lots of closer view of Martha’s finger works and facial expressions.
