Martha Argerich: Ravel - Concerto for Piano and Orchestra (Orchestre National de France)

[@ufayad]

For me, the 2nd movement of this concerto by Ravel is just exquisite-one of the most beautiful pieces in the entire classical music canon. It’s one of those pieces that has personal significance in my life as well. Bravi Mme. Argerich and Maestro Dutoit.

I remember that concert come on TV and I was so hypnotised by Martha that I couldn't leave for MY concert and almost missed it.

Wow haha Nice story. You almost missed your own concert, not so many people can say that

Inmáginable adoración por semejante versión es un Paso. A la eternidad

[@rogersharpe2490]

Martha Agerich recorded this magnificent piece with Claudio Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra many years ago on DGG. The recording was awarded the Grand Prix du Disc while available in the vinyl only days. I believe this recording is now available on digital platforms nowadays and it is well worth seeking out. A truly remarkable work.

Toujours un bonheur de voir comment un même concerto est interprété par le même artiste d’une façon différente avec le temps qui fait son œuvre. La maturité ❤❤❤

[@ludwigvanbeethoven61]

She plays this unbelievably hard piece provokingly effortless

[@canamus1768]

ravel's impish do-ti-la-so-fa-mi-re-do at the conclusion of the first movement never fails to make me smile.

[@adriansaldom6733]

The first time I heard it, I thought it sound incomplete, lacking a conclusive note, not in a bad way tho It sounds new to my ears

[@chrisraffen5980]

Such brilliance from the great Musical genius Martha.Thank you.

[@elmiraaqayeva5102]

Я играла этот концерт ,очень сложный ,но мой любимый.Тут многие пишут как его можно выучить наизусть,на удивление мне это удалось быстро ,правда сейчас спустя 50 лет слушаю и думаю КАК?Сегодня послушала его на ютюбе в нескольких исполнениях ,но Марта исполняет его просто блестяще!!!!!

Not true! More colorful beautiful piano sound than Argerich=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Artur Rubinstein Radu Lupu Vladimir Ashkenazy! More Powerful Louder than Argerich=Mikhail Pletnev the Loudest! The second Loudest was Lazar Berman! More Genius=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Alexei Lubimov Stanislav Igolinski!

​@@RaineriHakkarainenWhy can't someone give their opinion without other people telling them how they're wrong? I swear, classical music fans are even worse than heavy metal fans.

Ésto es lo tuyo, lo sutil, los matices, las cascadas por el piano, lo bonito bonito, delicado. Qué preciosidad, de verdad. Muchísimas gracias.

She is truly the best. Nobody understands and plays this piece as well as she does.

[@patpao6933]

Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli.

[@DARUMA-02]

Don't forget the Vlado perlemuter either.

[@davidsheriff9274]

​@@patpao6933Almost every time I read a comment where someone says they think a particular pianist is the best at playing a certain piece, there is someone responding with "no, Michelangeli is better" That guy's got a hell of a fan club. I'm going to get a bunch of Martha Argarich fans to stalk the comments section of Michelangeli videos and when everyone is writing that he is the best,we are all going to write " you're crazy, Martha Argarich plays this piece much better".

[@patpao6933]

@@davidsheriff9274 I only wrote one name. It was an invitation to listen to Michelangeli too, I didn't write that he is the best.

Neste momento tenho a impressão de que esta é a música mais bela e inspiradora já composta. Obrigado a Ravel, a Argerich e a todos esses músicos pelo privilégio de ouvi-los.

Nice performance and interpretation. This piece is of blood and so loved. It makes me know and feel that it is ok to go .. to the next place. Sounds are so soothing when there is harmony. Mom proved it to all of us without doing, saying .. just being comforting and supporting to all. goodnight

[@Density133]

Can't believe it takes almost 1:30 for the video to show Argerich at the keyboard. Very strange.

[@lorenzley1324]

It's beautiful beyond description but I remember Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli and Celibidache ...

[@lorenzley1324]

She will always be among the greatest pianists. From her master Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli she has learned what it takes to be a great interpret.

Yes, ALL perfomers play a concerto from memory (although I was shocked to see Yuja Wang on a video her using an Ipad for Ravel's Left Hand Concerto and Bartok's 2nd. Very unusual. All pianists on that level have dozens of concerti in their memory.

[@Density133]

@Peter the NWO Rabbit Yes, I agree. I was responding to the surprised reactions here from some viewers who expected to see sheet music on the piano stand. I don't even TRY to memorize a piece. After working on it for weeks or months, you automatically memorize.
