Her Mazurkas from Chopin Competition made me cry 😭

[@MaxLima1]

Aren't they amazing! Her tone is gorgeous

[@florestan8333]

Yes! For me, it's the Op.59 no.1... there's something about the mazurkas, and the way that she plays them.

[@donaldwright6617]

What's astounding about her Chopin Mazurkas-at least as reported by Olivier Bellamy in his biography of Martha-is that a month prior to the competition, she apparently didn't know what the mazurkas were! Hard to believe, especially given that she not only won the overall competition, but won for best mazurkas as well. But then, she is a genius!

@@donaldwright6617 As with all truly great artists, her ability to understand music in all its complexity with so little effort is phenomenal. Apparently Fou Ts'ong helped her with the mazurkas

Thank you so much Max!! Incredible!!! Chopin’s Mazurkas are notoriously difficult to get “right” but it seems to come so naturally to Martha…

[@drrabner47]

Max…thanks for posting this. She plays so beautifully. I heard that interview she did with Kovacevich, who is the father of her daughter Stephanie. They were supposed to play the mazurkas without disclosing which person was playing which mazurka. The record company didn’t like the idea. And Argerich told Stephen ‘she hadn’t learned them yet.’ His answer to her was ‘yes…we’ve all heard that story before.’ She didn’t seem to agree with that and told him she didn’t have time. But we all know Martha does what she wants…….when she wants.. But she’s allowed. because no one would argue she is the Queen of the piano. I would love anything she plays whenever she wants. Truly……..the BEST!!!

Martha is fantastic as always, her touch is gorgeous in that beautiful pieces! Thanks a lot!👏👏👏👏❤️

[@Ali.Shlaibeq]

These mazurkas are very sensitive and usually internal, Argerich never fails to capture such a magical atmosphere with them, time stops...

[@bsdkflh]

this is incredible, the Op.59 had me on the edge of my seat. as much as anybody dislikes coughing sounds from the audience, I thought they add an immediacy to this. Martha Argerich was a girl back then and she turned out a performance like this, no edits, TB patients be damned, is just jaw-dropping.

Precious. She's the one and only.

[@vulkanosaure]

I love how she plays the number 15, light, wild, playful...

Grazie mille Max per la condivisione, ancora uno dei tuoi meravigliosi regali, moltoooo gradito 💕

Superb ! Cand ne referim la interpretarea Marthei Argerich, cuvintele sunt prea sarace pentru a defini frumusetea si starea de gratie pe care o transmite aceasta mare doamna a pianului!!! Multumesc pentru postare ! Silvia Baciu.

[@alanleoneldavid1787]

Thank you!! I have made a playlist of Martha Argerich mazurkas because I want to learn some mazurkas she played this is very helpful. I love op 41 no 1 but is so hard

[@daniels7052]

I wish she played more Chopin pieces these days

[@MaxLima1]

Yeah! In 2020 she played some solo Chopin pieces (3rd sonata, D-flat major nocturne, C-sharp minor scherzo).

[@daniels7052]

@@MaxLima1 yeah I know but i would love to hear her play some etudes and the preludes and also the second concerto

[@sirdicaudore]

@@MaxLima1 Hi Max! great idea the Mazurka compilation!!! Do you know where did she play the Nocturne & Scherzo in 2020?

ela disse há um tempo que iria dividir todas as Mazurkas com o Kovacevich em um disco, sem identificar quem toca o quê. bem que esse projeto poderia sair do papel hahahah

[@YoshiyukiMukudai_NBC-ABC-CBS]

To me, all the mazurki except three set of Opus 59 recorded in Warwar are miraculously fantastic!!! Opus 59 is, I presume, too much affected by Michelangeli's playing, and not her music.
