Schumann/Liszt: Widmung, S. 566
Martha Argerich, piano
2019

[@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.

[@ensardemirkan]

And she is 78 years old in this video. Unbelievable 🌹

[@Raulantoniox]

She is amazing...!!!

[@TonProjetdeVie]

You mean 78 y young ?

[@rothschildianum]

This is her God given gift, ask her to cook scramble egg, she will burn it!

[@crazyRyoga]

@@rothschildianum No, this is a life of dedication, study and practice. Leave that imaginary entity out of it. It's her own merit.

[@cary6385]

now 82

[@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.

[@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.

[@momomoyo]

衰えるどころか更に進化を続けるピアニスト

[@morgenwanderer7430]

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

[@mikekarren5010]

Such hands! Such a mind! Such a soul! And mind you at 78 years old! Those hands move as they did at 16, and from then til now no hands have rivaled them! We are indeed blessed to hear this as she nearly died from two bouts of cancer! What a miracle you're hearing!

[@martanorigilxavierdosantos5805]

Emocionante.... 🥺🥺🥺

[@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.

[@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 ♥️

[@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 🤡

[@trevenfry8561]

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

[@abaabquhar]

The one and only Martha. Simply amazing

[@samuelosieku5148]

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

[@marksmale827]

Her playing always seems so effortless and natural.

[@juanaguinzburgdahan137]

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

[@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

[@dankurydotcom]

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]

[@michaelroberts6894]

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

[@user-gp8om6ke8i]

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😭

[@stephenmccartney8089]

One of the early 60's young and brilliiant pianists from Argentina. Had a really rough go with aggressive skin cancer and was treated by world famous cancer surgeon in Santa Monica, CA. Glad she is still here and making the world a better place with her talent and warmth. Widmung always brings joy and tears to me since I heard it played on UCAL Schoenberg stage in 1970.

[@chrisraffen5980]

The best in pianoforte performance, showing such huge amounts of natural talent & ability,which she exudes with incredible ease as well as perfection.

[@Thiago-px9ev]

Just look at how young her arms, hands and fingers look, she was 78 there! Means that we still have several years of Martha Argerich in concert, fortunately! Long live to her!!

[@user-wk7rm2ji1b]

大切な大切な宝物を、愛しい気持ち一杯で、弾いている。 ガラスの様に繊細で、とてもドラマチック。心を打たれる。

[@user-zd1pt8gy9l]

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

[@MurciellagoSV]

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

[@lindapoulson2130]

She makes it look so easy. Much controlled emotion.

[@igorbaburin6620]

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

[@MyItalianCircle]

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

[@louisraphael2567]

God - this is by far the best interpretation of Schumanns Widmung. I am totally addicted to this video! :D

[@avarmadillo]

Schumann pouring his heart out---I love his music so much!

[@roimanthabah9513]

Evgeny Kissin performed it well too

[@bruceee-kp7jn]

I think Kissin's interpretation is too neat and delicate... I prefer interpretations with a sense of youthful exuberance as Martha did.@@roimanthabah9513

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

[@TheIpazia1]

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

[@Guitarschoolat]

Just wanted to hear some Scarlatti, didn't expect this moment of perfection and incredible skills a human is able to reach. Pure enjoyment ❤️

[@babsboonzaaier4621]

Martha you will never grow old, young at heart till your dying day!! 💓

[@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”….

[@karencusterthurstonthewoma9252]

What a pleasure and honor to hear.

うまく言えないけど…何故か倍音を感じる 音の層が凄くそのど真ん中で聞いているような、その音に包まれる間隔がとても心地よい

A great talent. This piece is just beautiful.

[@mostbestjia627]

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

[@PHILBXL]

A music that combines her two adored composers.. Schumann and Liszt, the one she would love to have met hehe ;-)

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.

A maior pianista da atualidade. Maravilhosa!!!

[@rebeccajenkins7058]

I am speechless. Beautiful.

[@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.

[@user-xq6wc3pe4n]

[@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.
