Martha Argerich Schumann's Piano Sonata No. 2 in G minor Op. 22, IV mov Rondo - Presto

[@MrInterestingthings]

I can't believe there is film of her early in the Schumann Sonatas !

[@gabrielmandelas5527]

Technically, this must be one of the most challenging pieces to play. It requires such endurance and independence on the thumb and pinkie. I have never seen anybody play this movement with such accuracy and speed as Argerich.

[@ordeedjc]

One of the best at all times. Sin duda alguna. OMG great

[@donaldpachner895]

A real treasure, thank you for making this available! I learned this sonata and performed it when I was 15, listening to a Slviatislov Richter recording...wish I had also heard this one!

She is so beautiful, i love this woman

G.O.A.T.

[@jjg7]

Does anyone have the 1st movement of this performance?

[@bernabemalfax5029]

Perfect

[@Okoteiru23]

Thank you for UP loading !!!

[@screumeuleu]

quite funny : the commentary at the beginning of this video says that Martha Argerich isn't as expressive as usual with Schumann (her favourite composer with Beethoven) and that her interpretation is fast and somehow weak (?). As I understood this is a east-Germany broadcast from the seventies.

[@vincenzodamore5317]

Amazing indeed...

[@MikeN275]

Really?! That's pretty humorous.

[@jimyoung9262]

Probably hurt because she makes the Russians look bad

[@calebhu6383]

She said in an interview that Schumann touches her more deeply than any other composer...

[@alexandrosbekiari4802]

Isn't that Joachim Kaiser at the beginning?

[@katbullar]

the comment from the presenter!!! PLEAASSEEEE... I hope he had eaten all his words throught time over and over. She is a living legend, where and what is this guy now? seriously!

[@rtxa]

What did he say?

[@perjus]

Dead.

[@alexandrosbekiari4802]

@katbullar I totally agree with you! His comment is total bullsh*t! I think, he is Joachim Kaiser, a music critique with worldwide reputation, but I am not quite sure. He is pretty young there, but he sure sounds like Kaiser! The reputation or the fame truly has nothing to do with how good someone is at his job... as Maestro Celibidache once said when asked about why he doesn't like Karajan - one of the most respected and well-known conductors: Coca Cola is also famous.

[@katbullar]

@@alexandrosbekiari4802 so... where is the critics guy now? Where is Martha now?

[@alexandrosbekiari4802]

@@katbullar Well... the critics guy is dead... And I totally agree with you! I absolutely adore Martha! No matter what she plays, you know it's going to be fantastic!

[@PBXVIILY]

wonderfully upload, would you have the 1st movement of this performance?

[@ernestobaran3381]

From when is this recording?

[@Populous3Tutorials]

imagine she timetraveled at her peak and met liszt, who would instantly fall in love... a woman pianist...and even better than him... what kind of sorcery is this

[@axeltejera7280]

tinna eres tu?

[@zuhairbakdoud1360]

This playing reminds of Marc-Andre, the Canadian piano player.. because of the mechanical ability.... no offense intended...

[@zuhairbakdoud1360]

She has only technique. Period.

[@jeanmartinpianiste73]

That's not true at all. Period :-D

[@jvmalfi]

Nonsense

[@davidfoust9767]

She recorded this for Deutsche Grammophone. Incredible playing all the way through and way more than just technique. This recording is very good but not quite as good.
