Martha Argerich plays Schumann/Liszt: Widmung (2019)

Schumann/Liszt: Widmung, S. 566
Martha Argerich, piano
2019

[@andrewgibbonwilliams6228]

One feels honoured and humbled to inhabit the same planet of this true musical genius. That's what I think! She gives one faith.

[@valeo6820]

I keep listening to this. It’s 2 AM in Chicago. Well, one more time ..... For today. Or few more times......Nobody has ever played this piece better. Nobody. Ever. Her genius shines thru and thru.

衰えるどころか更に進化を続けるピアニスト

[@VILJL]

Martha Argerich born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 5 June 1941 is an Argentine-Swiss classical concert pianist. She is widely considered one of the greatest pianists of all time. She will celebrate her 80th birthday on June 5, 2021

[@777rogerf]

The combination of African, Latino, and European musical traditions has produced truly exceptional pianitst including Novaes, Arrau, and Argerich.

[@morgenwanderer7430]

One can hear the voice singing. What a marvelous interpretation: the genius of Argerich.

[@mikekarren5010]

Such hands! Such a mind! Such a soul! And mind you at 78 years old! Those hands move as they did at 16, and from then til now no hands have rivaled them! We are indeed blessed to hear this as she nearly died from two bouts of cancer! What a miracle you're hearing!

[@martanorigilxavierdosantos5805]

Emocionante.... 🥺🥺🥺

[@Moko_27]

I don't know how many times I have watched this video now.. And evertime it feels like im being transported into another world.

[@ensardemirkan]

And she is 78 years old in this video. Unbelievable 🌹

[@Raulantoniox]

She is amazing...!!!

[@TonProjetdeVie]

You mean 78 y young ?

[@rothschildianum]

This is her God given gift, ask her to cook scramble egg, she will burn it!

[@crazyRyoga]

@@rothschildianum No, this is a life of dedication, study and practice. Leave that imaginary entity out of it. It's her own merit.

[@2002FREDERICK]

I cant stop listen Martha playing Windmung.... I cant.... I cant... Please help !!!!

[@jponz85]

Go listen to Yundi Li's version instead. I'm a fan of Martha but man this version is terrible compared to other greats

[@jponz85]

@@a23oj28 and? Do you own youtube? No one asked you to reply back to me but you did either way lmao the hypocrisy in your statement 🤡

[@samuelosieku5148]

Absolutely amazing! Best living female classical pianist. There would only be one Martha Argerich 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@abaabquhar]

The one and only Martha. Simply amazing

[@trevenfry8561]

I love the “Ave Maria” passage at the very end.

[@Vic9994546]

Really touched my heart. As she’s gone through her life playing piano and she’s getting older, she plays with the humble heart of a human being with a voice. She is happy and age has not defied that and won’t until her last day, she is a pianist first and foremost ♥️

[@juanaguinzburgdahan137]

Los años pasan….y siempre una gran sensibilidad y una técnica espectacular. Martha es una extraordinaria pianista .Única.💖

[@user-wk7rm2ji1b]

大切な大切な宝物を、愛しい気持ち一杯で、弾いている。 ガラスの様に繊細で、とてもドラマチック。心を打たれる。

[@marksmale827]

Her playing always seems so effortless and natural.

[@michaelroberts6894]

What a pianist! Such an artist! No one equal to her anywhere!

[@789armstrong]

Not since Van Cliburn's historic 1958 Concert in Moscow, has Widmung been played with such feeling and impeccable taste. I believe Martha is among the very greatest pianists of all time.

[@vcortes409]

no doubt

[@gbh0015]

The Van Cliburn is however, unsurpassed

[@dankurydotcom]

As far as I am concerned, (in my life of 63 years) there is nobody better, nor even close.... I just love her emotion!

[@Thiago-px9ev]

No doubt about it...

[@nancyduncan2948]

@@dankurydotcom indescribably beautiful!

[@user-zd1pt8gy9l]

Martha Argerich - is a world - class pianist, and plays this piece perfectly, her poetic imagination are fascinating - she is phenomenal !

[@stephenmccartney8089]

One of the early 60's young and brilliiant pianists from Argentina. Had a really rough go with aggressive skin cancer and was treated by world famous cancer surgeon in Santa Monica, CA. Glad she is still here and making the world a better place with her talent and warmth. Widmung always brings joy and tears to me since I heard it played on UCAL Schoenberg stage in 1970.

[@chrisraffen5980]

The best in pianoforte performance, showing such huge amounts of natural talent & ability,which she exudes with incredible ease as well as perfection.

[@user-gp8om6ke8i]

本当に胸が切なく、熱くなりました。この演奏こそがまさに献呈！ 本物を聴かせていただきました！ありがとうございます😭

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

Martha Argerich is one of the greatest pianist of the world for so many decades....

[@Thiago-px9ev]

Just look at how young her arms, hands and fingers look, she was 78 there! Means that we still have several years of Martha Argerich in concert, fortunately! Long live to her!!

[@Moko_27]

I can't believe I have the fortune of witnessing her live in concert next year. This will for sure be one of the most memorable moments of my life

[@lindapoulson2130]

She makes it look so easy. Much controlled emotion.

[@igorbaburin6620]

Absolutely right. Horowitz used to say that “music is a controlled emotion”.

[@Guitarschoolat]

Just wanted to hear some Scarlatti, didn't expect this moment of perfection and incredible skills a human is able to reach. Pure enjoyment ❤️

[@MurciellagoSV]

I got to know this piece by attending two of her concerts in Córdoba, Argentina, last year. Unforgettable and nostalgic.

[@kruslion6435]

I LOVE YOU MARTHA . GOD WILL BLESS YOU.

[@lospazio]

I don't know whether there is a god, but if there is one, he/she has already blessed her.

[@PorkChop71912]

It’s hard to imagine that there are people in this world with such beautiful music inside them.

[@marcaurele3115]

La grande , l'unique Martha Argerich et ses doigts de fée...

[@MyItalianCircle]

Io c'ero quella sera, a Torino! L'unica, la sola, la meravigliosa Martha Argerich ❤

[@ianboard544]

I can't think of a thing I would change in this performance.

[@karencusterthurstonthewoma9252]

What a pleasure and honor to hear.

[@louisraphael2567]

God - this is by far the best interpretation of Schumanns Widmung. I am totally addicted to this video! :D

[@avarmadillo]

Schumann pouring his heart out---I love his music so much!

[@roimanthabah9513]

Evgeny Kissin performed it well too

[@bruceee-kp7jn]

I think Kissin's interpretation is too neat and delicate... I prefer interpretations with a sense of youthful exuberance as Martha did.@@roimanthabah9513

[@sheiladesoysa3157]

A great talent. This piece is just beautiful.

[@TheIpazia1]

Spettacolo!!!! Grazie mille per la condivisione, un regalo bellissimo, Argerich in gran forma, come sono contenta! Lunga vita alla regina!

[@kimg4589]

Thank you so much for this upload! This is the best rendition of Widmung by the Goddess. The new Steinway at this venue did full justice to this gorgeous “Dedication”….

[@Noahchao]

Martha truly brings life to the notes, as a Widmung to music.

[@babsboonzaaier4621]

Martha you will never grow old, young at heart till your dying day!! 💓

[@claudiogiachetti993]

Mi domando sovente come l'anima possa servirsi di due piccole mani per esprimersi e coinvolgere anche il nostro spirito lungo una strada di note musicali tanto dolci ed espressive. Grande Alicia, ora suona per gli angeli.

[@ryankeefe1394]

Like most things I’m life there are levels. This ladies and gentleman is as high as levels get.

[@andrewgibbon-williams7974]

One feels privileged to inhabit the same planet as an artist such as this. My errant former Dutch partner's father was a pupil of hers. That's as far as my connection goes. I know little of Martha's private life, but I do so hope she enjoys a good one; such a genius deserves it.

[@sokanet9]

Beautiful, Just Beautiful Lady~!!!! That's all I can say. Thank You Soooooooo Much ~!!!!!!

[@debbongiorno5971]

She’s brilliant-an other worldly melding of intellect, skill, instinct, and spirit. She simply has no equal.

Perfectly stated!! 👍🏻👍🏻

What a beautiful and lyrical performance, thank you for posting :)

[@margitwinter3911]

What a wonderful and special Person. U just love her what she portraits and her real deep self.

[@naomiknockersosaka69]

Argerich has gotten old a lot, but she remains very much alive. I like the beautiful sound of the piano.

[@glmugi]

うまく言えないけど…何故か倍音を感じる 音の層が凄くそのど真ん中で聞いているような、その音に包まれる間隔がとても心地よい

[@Lurcanio1]

Beautiful playing! I love the natural flow. It's really Schumann, with poetry, not too pumped up.

[@berlinzerberus]

What a great great pity that Martha doesn't play recitals any longer. If she did, It would be an immense enrichment for us all.

[@einars899]

Nahre Sol pointed me here. And a thank you to her for doing that!

[@meganissimo1]

Did she recently start performing this? She is the only true goddess of the piano. Holy crap.She is one those people who inspires you to keep going.

[@brucejackson4219]

A superb rendition of this masterpiece. It is always interesting to compare & contrast how some pianists caress the keyboard [as in this performance-not to forget Horowitz of course]] as others adopt a somewhat more "aggressive" approach as they attack it.

[@joanngreenberg4246]

Simply beautiful!

I don't know which was more beautiful.... Miss Argrich (always so wonderfully active), the music (breathtaking and pulsing), or the grand Steinway (such a masterpiece)..... if I have to vote , I'd be for the music, which wins by lightyears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chi meglio di lei può rendere il contenuto di questo pezzo !!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Schumann Widmung. Dedicazione Tu la mia anima, tu il mio cuore, Tu il mio piacere, o tu il mio dolore, Tu il mio mondo in cui vivo, Oh, mio Dio, in cui io galleggio. O tu la mia tomba, scendi in quella Ho dato via il mio dolore per sempre. Tu sei la pace, tu sei la pace, Sei stato decretato dal cielo per me. Il fatto che tu mi ami mi rende degno, Il tuo sguardo mi ha illuminato davanti a me, Mi sollevi amorevolmente sopra di me, Il mio spirito buono, il mio io migliore!
