[@prokastinatore]

And here comes the student of maestro Friedrich Guida from Vienna , maestro Martha Argerich teaching the orchestra and its conductor the score while working out the important voices the orchestra avoided to work out during the introduction of the first sentence. Beautiful! Martha, I always loved you and I will also love you until the day when I might have passed on. And if there might be a heaven, I'm gonna listen to you and Gulda for eternity as long as we talk about music, Mozart and arts!

Martha Argerich makes the world a better place

I love Martha! ❤ super!! 😊

My favorite Mozart piano concerto. Fabulous Martha Argerich

[@Nooziterp1]

My favorite Mozart piano concerto too. And Martha Argarich plays it so well. So much feeling.

[@diradour]

Magnifique. Tempi parfaits, orchestre vif, coloré, un jeu plein de relief. Toit ce qui va avec Argerich. Un enregistrement de référence.

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

Extraordinary performance .Martha Argerich probably the best pianist alive. This work is truly a masterpiece...

[@paulemanuelerdos7455]

Unbelievable expresion. Let alone the magic of her virtuosity, her piano sing and speak with such power...

[@kimg4589]

Wow!! 👏👏 And the Capucon brothers were playing with the orchestra too!! Renaud, 2nd violin, and Gautier on the cello!! How young they were!! Love this concerto. And when Martha plays it, just magic!!!

[@paules3437]

Wow! How did you notice THAT??

[@luckydickbig]

Yes , I was there

Mozart ist Always Mozart. The orchestra did a great job, director perfect, and Martha is always Martha.

[@mauroinnocenzi9420]

She is the most jazzy classical player. Surprising every time. Love her so much!

So do I!! She's magnifique !!!!

[@davidsheriff9274]

What is that white thing she has in her hand in every video when she walks out on stage,is it a handkerchief?

[@husaammaawia3057]

That’s because her teacher was Friedrich Gulda lol

[@thibomeurkens2296]

In an interview she said this was the first piece she ever played with an orchestra. Her performance is amazing and so is this concerto! The orchestra is also tremendous of course.

FABULEUX ! EXTRAORDINAIRE ! Une Très grande interprète , Une Très Très Grande Dame !

[@linovishnudatt2992]

❤❤❤❤ Such perfection... I love Ms Argerich.

[@pritchy007]

If I or any other student at any university did as much rubatos in Mozart as Martha did we would be scolded so badly! Of course, she can do whatever she wants, she is Martha :) 😍 And we are blessed to have her

[@paunitka7]

Rightly so! First you martha, and then you rubato. XD

[@rofo2107]

As for as rubatos. I think once artists reach similar level of music geniality as Martha Argerich, they tend never repeat the same interpretation twice. Maybe Japan orchestra was way too much controlled and precise in the begining... and it needed something to ballance it or put in contrast with. Martha Argerich probably improvised, I'm sure it was not calculated or agreed on rehearsal in advance. She started 1st movement quite slower tempo, listened to piano long notes a bit longer then usual, she probably looked for the recepy and inspiration for the sound. I think she was not absolutely happy looking at her body language. Then 2nd movement(Romanza) with elegant and marvelous rubatos came as an answer from a completely different planet. I think from the second movement the orchestra started to breath with Martha. It took them quite longer:) Once Martha grabbed them, she hold them firmly till the end.

[@annieoakley3516]

Extreme tempo changes in the 2. movement. And... it's beautiful!

[@andreaguiar4709]

Estupendo virtuosismo de Martha Argerich sempre tocando sem pauta .

[@paules3437]

Nothing makes starting to do one's taxes easier to bear than this. In the midst of all that Mozartean perfection that was the hallmark of his life, this concerto, along with #23 in A, remain to me the "most perfect." I swear, given the number of composers who died in their 30's or early 40's, if I get to the afterlife and find that they haven't been composing music for the past couple of centuries, I'm a-gonna be hopping mad at the Almighty! He'll have a lot of 'splaining to do!

[@rociorinaldi8312]

Grosa Marthita Argerich! Y es nuestra, bien argentina!

[@leonardoseifert1205]

Absolutamente impresionante. Tanto Argerich como la orquesta y su director. Fantástica versión de k 466. Mi favorita absolutamente.

The opening seems so modern for its time but still somehow blended with the 18th century.

The more I listen the more I can hear Friedrick Gulda. Wonderful recording.

She was a student of Gulda.

[@schnappi6602]

Renaud Capucon as a sub-concertmaster and Gautier as co-principal-solo-cellist❤ that’s cool! 😎

[@soebredden]

Great great great!!

[@bonnielawrence8748]

Awesome

[@jeanjeanduchateau9420]

Ce jour là , Martha Argerich avait renoncé à interpréter l'Empereur, préférant jouer le concerto N°20, K.466 de Mozart. Heureusement ,pour le Beethovenien inconditionnel que je suis, il y a la Cadenza, qui peut nous laisser deviner ce qu'aurait donné le cinquième Concerto sous ses doigts. Peut-être un jour je trouverai un enregistrement qui pourra entrer dans ma collection. Jeanjean du Château

[@3883melange]

So incredible!!

[@268TERI]

[@babsboonzaaier4621]

Beautiful Martha, you cant satisfy all the different tastes like eg speed, allways speed, but sure they have a right to differ!!

[@AH-sn9ml]

Martha Argerich is fantastic

[@claudiapomponio9165]

BRAVO!!!

[@aviginsberg9829]

Mozart was a classical composer. He lived in this era. One may interpret him differently. This one was different. The tempo was like a horse race. no need to be that fast. it actually causes some of the phrases to be lost. And the touch of romanticism (rubato? and more) was exaggeratede. and yet, electrifying performance. great pianist and the sound of the orchestra was good

[@michaelzeng4529]

This is absolutely stunning! Love how she interprets the No.20 and presents to the listeners, it’s probably not the “conventional” Mozart, but it’s impressive impressive and impressive!!!

Who gets to choose the tempo? The soloist or the conductor?

[@drrabner47]

Usually it’s the conductor. But with Martha as soloist, I would say it was Martha’s choice.

[@bernardthomas3606]

Great rendition but i like Mitsuko Uchidas version aswell.

Очевидно из разговора, что частные корпорации в чужой юрисдикции принудительно заставляют платить налоги в пользу иностранного государства используя коды разных государств. Нет нашего согласия на это. Если платить налоги, то в свою, Народную, Державу

[@andreadilazzaro6186]

Extraordinary. Just a little bit too fast, after the minute 25, and may be needs more "breaths", in my opinion.

[@luckydickbig]

In the first movement, bar 333, in the last sixteenth note arpeggio, instead of playing a B natural, Martha plays a C (a minor mistake). This is very rare in her performances.

It seems funny that one gulda son is teaching her? Ahaha she’s way better than him

[@prokastinatore]

This conductor is unable to support the fire and spirit coming from maestro Argerich. Why does he have the choice to conduct the orchestra with such a famous musician? He is not competent. Better to conduct a high school orchestra.....

[@ВикторияЩербакова-к8н]

Интерпретация Александра Малофеева гораздо интересней.

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

Malofeev is trash!! More colorful beautiful piano sound than Argerich=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Argerich=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Stanislav Bunin Maria Grinberg! More powerful louder than Argerich=Mikhail Pletnev(Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The Second Loudest ever was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi! Horowitz his technique better than Argerich's technique!!

[@trilogy2000]

I wonder who is following her

[@prokastinatore]

I miss the orchestra during the whole concert. It's a back lack of passion Argerich herself can't compensate on her own. But that's not the maestros fault......
