Martha Argerich, piano
2019

[@valeo6820]

I keep listening to this. It’s 2 AM in Chicago. Well, one more time ..... For today. Or few more times......Nobody has ever played this piece better. Nobody. Ever. Her genius shines thru and thru.

[@andrewgibbonwilliams6228]

One feels honoured and humbled to inhabit the same planet of this true musical genius. That's what I think! She gives one faith.

[@VILJL]

Martha Argerich born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 5 June 1941 is an Argentine-Swiss classical concert pianist. She is widely considered one of the greatest pianists of all time. She will celebrate her 80th birthday on June 5, 2021

[@777rogerf]

The combination of African, Latino, and European musical traditions has produced truly exceptional pianitst including Novaes, Arrau, and Argerich.

[@Moko_27]

I don't know how many times I have watched this video now.. And evertime it feels like im being transported into another world.

[@morgenwanderer7430]

One can hear the voice singing. What a marvelous interpretation: the genius of Argerich.

[@Vic9994546]

Really touched my heart. As she’s gone through her life playing piano and she’s getting older, she plays with the humble heart of a human being with a voice. She is happy and age has not defied that and won’t until her last day, she is a pianist first and foremost ♥️

[@abaabquhar]

The one and only Martha. Simply amazing

[@juanaguinzburgdahan137]

Los años pasan….y siempre una gran sensibilidad y una técnica espectacular. Martha es una extraordinaria pianista .Única.💖

[@2002FREDERICK]

I cant stop listen Martha playing Windmung.... I cant.... I cant... Please help !!!!

[@jponz85]

Go listen to Yundi Li's version instead. I'm a fan of Martha but man this version is terrible compared to other greats

[@jponz85]

@@a23oj28 and? Do you own youtube? No one asked you to reply back to me but you did either way lmao the hypocrisy in your statement 🤡

[@789armstrong]

Not since Van Cliburn's historic 1958 Concert in Moscow, has Widmung been played with such feeling and impeccable taste. I believe Martha is among the very greatest pianists of all time.

[@vcortes409]

no doubt

[@gbh0015]

The Van Cliburn is however, unsurpassed

[@user-jx3jp3gb4x]

As far as I am concerned, (in my life of 63 years) there is nobody better, nor even close.... I just love her emotion!

[@Thiago-px9ev]

No doubt about it...

[@nancyduncan2948]

@@user-jx3jp3gb4x indescribably beautiful!

[@Galerieddot]

Absolutely stunningly beautiful.

[@josemigueldvg6119]

So beautiful 🥺🥲 thanks so much Martha for the interpretation, Clara for the inspiration, Schumann and Liszt for having heard this music.

[@trevenfry8561]

I love the “Ave Maria” passage at the very end.

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

Martha Argerich is one of the greatest pianist of the world for so many decades....

[@lamusicadililia5737]

Mi ha commosso fino alle lacrime, sto piangendo mentre ascolto…forse sono troppo sensibile per ascoltare questa musica DIVINA!😢

[@НатальяДорохова-з5б]

Martha Argerich - is a world - class pianist, and plays this piece perfectly, her poetic imagination are fascinating - she is phenomenal !

[@samuelosieku5148]

Absolutely amazing! Best living female classical pianist. There would only be one Martha Argerich 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@lindapoulson2130]

She makes it look so easy. Much controlled emotion.

[@igorbaburin6620]

Absolutely right. Horowitz used to say that “music is a controlled emotion”.

[@kruslion6435]

I LOVE YOU MARTHA . GOD WILL BLESS YOU.

[@lospazio]

I don't know whether there is a god, but if there is one, he/she has already blessed her.

[@ぴーちゅる]

本当に胸が切なく、熱くなりました。この演奏こそがまさに献呈！ 本物を聴かせていただきました！ありがとうございます😭

[@TheIpazia1]

Spettacolo!!!! Grazie mille per la condivisione, un regalo bellissimo, Argerich in gran forma, come sono contenta! Lunga vita alla regina!

[@PorkChop71912]

It’s hard to imagine that there are people in this world with such beautiful music inside them.

[@gojewla]

I love this performance. I think it’s way better than her earlier recording that I have heard. Such a great command over color!

[@karencusterthurstonthewoma9252]

What a pleasure and honor to hear.

[@MurciellagoSV]

I got to know this piece by attending two of her concerts in Córdoba, Argentina, last year. Unforgettable and nostalgic.

[@mostbestjia627]

Listening to this during 2020 quarantine is such a relief, thank you Martha.

[@michaelroberts6894]

What a pianist! Such an artist! No one equal to her anywhere!

[@kimg4589]

Thank you so much for this upload! This is the best rendition of Widmung by the Goddess. The new Steinway at this venue did full justice to this gorgeous “Dedication”….

[@sheiladesoysa3157]

A great talent. This piece is just beautiful.

[@samuelosieku5148]

Absolutely amazing!!! My favourite female classical pianist !

[@brunooliveira9569]

A maior pianista da atualidade. Maravilhosa!!!

[@ianboard544]

I can't think of a thing I would change in this performance.

[@catherinejones9396]

Lovely. A gentler dedication than many I have heard. Thank you

[@Noahchao]

Martha truly brings life to the notes, as a Widmung to music.

[@MyItalianCircle]

Io c'ero quella sera, a Torino! L'unica, la sola, la meravigliosa Martha Argerich ❤

[@VictorPaz-s5c]

I love her

[@suremate]

Her technique is still in such good shape at her age. This is pretty rare.

[@sokanet9]

Beautiful, Just Beautiful Lady~!!!! That's all I can say. Thank You Soooooooo Much ~!!!!!!

[@christopherdew2355]

Wonderful pianist! Extraordinary even at 78!

[@claudiogiachetti993]

Mi domando sovente come l'anima possa servirsi di due piccole mani per esprimersi e coinvolgere anche il nostro spirito lungo una strada di note musicali tanto dolci ed espressive. Grande Alicia, ora suona per gli angeli.

[@ryankeefe1394]

Like most things I’m life there are levels. This ladies and gentleman is as high as levels get.

[@andrewgibbon-williams7974]

One feels privileged to inhabit the same planet as an artist such as this. My errant former Dutch partner's father was a pupil of hers. That's as far as my connection goes. I know little of Martha's private life, but I do so hope she enjoys a good one; such a genius deserves it.

[@naomiknockersosaka69]

Argerich has gotten old a lot, but she remains very much alive. I like the beautiful sound of the piano.

[@Eric-jo8uh]

I love the way she sits and gets straight into it👏👏👍👍

[@cary6385]

이건 진짜... 그냥 넘사벽 천상계의 천사장의 연주네요

[@richard211]

She's the most gifted and this was in June 2019.

[@brucejackson4219]

A superb rendition of this masterpiece. It is always interesting to compare & contrast how some pianists caress the keyboard [as in this performance-not to forget Horowitz of course]] as others adopt a somewhat more "aggressive" approach as they attack it.

[@Lurcanio1]

Beautiful playing! I love the natural flow. It's really Schumann, with poetry, not too pumped up.

[@LiquidMindOfficial]

What a beautiful and lyrical performance, thank you for posting :)

Chi meglio di lei può rendere il contenuto di questo pezzo !!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Schumann Widmung. Dedicazione Tu la mia anima, tu il mio cuore, Tu il mio piacere, o tu il mio dolore, Tu il mio mondo in cui vivo, Oh, mio Dio, in cui io galleggio. O tu la mia tomba, scendi in quella Ho dato via il mio dolore per sempre. Tu sei la pace, tu sei la pace, Sei stato decretato dal cielo per me. Il fatto che tu mi ami mi rende degno, Il tuo sguardo mi ha illuminato davanti a me, Mi sollevi amorevolmente sopra di me, Il mio spirito buono, il mio io migliore!

原詩には「心を清め」の一節があるが、知らずとも小川の流れを聞くような清さ、自分の心が清められる感覚がわかるはず。短い曲ですが、ほんと長く感じるずっと聴いていたい心に染みる名演です。

このコンサートをサントリーホールで聴きました。心から満足した演奏で、このOp.111のあとに相応しいアンコール曲はないと会場の誰もが考えたのではないでしょうか。ブレンデルがアンコールを弾くべくピアノの前に座ったときにはびっくりしましたが、ああこういう選択があったのかとブレンデルの選択に敬意を表しました。

[@erikasono565]

９０年代末のリコ・グルダ、そして最近の赤星里奈と森本麻衣という、新進気鋭のピアニスト達の演奏でこの曲を聴いた後、ふと、円熟の境地にある巨匠ピアニストがこの曲をどう弾くのか聴いてみたくなった。 KZbinで現在聴ける演奏には、ラン・ランやエフゲニー・キッシンのものもあるが、成熟の域に達したベテランという意味では、アルゲリッチには敵わない。 - アルゲリッチの演奏は、ウィーンやボンなどで私も何度か生のコンサートで聴いたことがある。 いつでも彼女の演奏は、驚くような快速なスピードで駆け抜ける。 その技術の卓抜さは否定すべくもないが、メシアンのようなものならともかく、モーツァルトなどだと、もう少し一つ一つの音を慈しむように弾いてもいいのではないかと思ったものだ。 ***** だが、このリスト編曲版の《献呈》は、そうした私の危惧をひっくり返すようなものだった。 アルゲリッチの卓抜な技巧は、細かな内声のピアノの音を、まるで一つ一つの音がもはや存在しないかのように溶かし込みながら、リートの旋律を鮮やかに浮かび上がらせるのだ。 - 輝かしい愛の悦びに溢れたリコ・グルダの演奏、優しくやわらかにけぶるような音の響きに包み込む赤星里奈の演奏、希望の光に輝く婚礼の鐘に沸き立つ心と婚礼を前にした複雑な心境の変化を映し出していくような森本麻衣の演奏。 どれも決して悪くはないのだが、繊細なテンポ・ルバートを掛けながら歌うリートの旋律に、淡い光を添えるように超絶技巧が柔らかく絡みついて行くアルゲリッチの演奏は、演奏技巧の成熟ということからいえば、やはりピカイチだ。 - 技巧は、技巧のためのものではない。 高度に成熟した技巧の上にこそ、自在な表現が花開くのだと改めて痛感させられた。
