Martha Argerich - Ravel - Scarbo

Argerich plays Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit 3rd Mov (Scarbo)

[@jonathanbbelanger]

pogorelich misses the mark on impressionism in general--he plays it like it's prokofiev. and while ravel is an incredibly percussive composer, he is NOT prokofiev--argerich finds colors pogorelich never could.

She´s playing like a beast! Scarbo is really the most crazy piece ever!

[@KaisarAnvar]

While Scarbo eats pianists’ souls alive, Argerich eats Scarbo…

[@ethansaltmere]

Argerich plays this scarbo as well as Pogorelich. Please don't argue between the two. They are two great interpretations. NOT VALENTINA LISITA. please.

[@FoziCoD]

I think this is the best version of Scarbo ever. She puts so much emotion in this.. So much, that the piece become really scary.

[@Bulbophile]

something Argerich shows really well here is her understanding that the piano is a percussive instrument

[@Berliozini]

Errors found, bla, bla, bla! Bethoven also did many errors in his compositions. But he is still Beethoven. Argerich play everything she want, has a perfect career, played in the most important places of this world, is one that will be remembered for centuries. My ERROR was to read comments like yours, sure an amateur, frustrated pianist. Argerich went from South America to learn in Europe, millions of Europeans never got her playing, even living beside the best piano professors of the world.

I think you're missing the point of music in general. Sm of the world's best composers/pianists have been known to make minor (& major) changes to certain pieces to fit their individual styles/ideas. In experiencing music that was written 100+ years ago & has been played thousands of times, I'd be very disappointed to find that every account sounds exactly the same. Some artists might choose to deliver the same story in their own language. Paradise to one person might be hell to another.

Who cares about mistakes? Only the other concert pianists who know the score and envy the performance.

[@JuyoNi]

You just can't play ravel any other way than it's written. Ravel was such a perfectionist, and painstakingly wrote every note and indicated exact

[@ramunesadaunykiene]

absolutely perfect performance, the best ever.

[@jordanthukkaram]

This is artistry at it's finest. It's absolutely sublime.

[@ruyfaco]

The dynamics in the score are not a problem for me. I love this performance, and I guess that's what matters.

[@thorbjornsjogren]

very few of us had the opputunity to ask Mr.Ravel himself, about interpretetion details. This performing is very convincing, and filled up with very much beauty.

[@user-zd1pt8gy9l]

One of the best interpretations, passionate and full of confidence, with beautiful technique, very emotional and expressive - is perfection itself. . .❤❤❤

[@radoslavmladenov]
