Martha Argerich playing Brahms Piano Sonata n. 2 (EXTRAORDINARY RECORDING...)

[@nestorar]

I think it’s the Tokyo performance-simply mind blowing!!! Glad you posted it.

[@MozartFong]

this is astounding. Martha very rarely plays brahms and this piece suits her well.

[@alexbrk1157]

Well, that’s bizarre. I remember her saying Brahms was her favorite composer in an interview.

[@mcintertz5593]

@@alexbrk1157you must be confusing her with grimaud or someone… she usually if asked speaks of affinities/loves for Schumann, Chopin or Beethoven.

[@lospazio]

@@mcintertz5593 Especially Schumann.

[@alexbrk1157]

@@mcintertz5593 oh yes you’re totally right!!She said it was Schumann, indeed!

[@lionelthiebaud7081]

​@@lospazioévidemment son compositeur préféré est Schumann, elle l'a assez dit dans de nombreuses interviews

Very electrical playing with a big sound, great.

Su manera tal musical de frasear y auténtica. Es la perfección junto a la vercion de zimermann

[@raoultak]

I guess this is one of Brahms' early works. Nice but immature. it was actually composed before his Piano Sonata No. 1 in C major. The performance of Martha Argerich is sublime.

[@zebeauv]

Merci Charles ! Je trouve ça extraordinaire comme d’habitude. Earl Wild était peut être un peu jaloux non ?

[@Janaceks_Dad]

I think she played at this one of the last solo recitals she gave at Carnegie Hall, before she gave up playing solo (until her reappearance there in the 2000).

[@mcintertz5593]

Does this mean there is another Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet floating around?

[@Janaceks_Dad]

Does anyone know what else did she played at this concert?

[@柳瀬春彦]

音質からすると誰かの膝上録音なのだろう。しかしいい演奏ですよ。

[@kylianparker4775]

thanks for uploading this treasure. just wondering if this is different with the 1981 carnegie hall recording?

[@SE013]

Yes it appears to be a different performance, but probably from the same year.

[@renelicht]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@diogopinto2878]

Damn what a baddie

[@gabrielmandelas5527]

I think this is the one from her Carnegie Hall recital in the 80s.

[@polyphoniac]

I remember that because Earl Wild attended that concert and gave me a bad report of this performance in particular. He said that she did not understand the piece.

[@gabrielmandelas5527]

​@polyphoniac Can't say I'm surprised. Martha's playing arouses clear likes and dislikes among listeners, especially this performance.

[@sirdicaudore]

@@polyphoniac It just means that she understands it in a different way.

[@chiarodiluna3163]

Why is this recording so bad quality? Is this sonata also recorded on a real music recording company?

[@laputa6464]

Its a live recording obviously
