It is so wonderful to hear a pianist of Ms. Argerich caliber perform. I love her rhythmic sensibility and physical approach to playing the piano. Having said that I also relish the rich sound she produces. Thank you Martha, you are inspirational.
There are wonderfull renditions of this work, but Martha is allways in a class of her own. She was born to play 20th century music like Prokofiev, Ravel and many others... and also the orchestra is very, very, good, don't forget this is a also a sort of concerto for orchestra!
Nobody but NOBODY can play this piece as perfectly as our Martha! The cut off at the end is exactly perfect - an echo of the horse whip beginning. She is amazing - one of the truly great pianists of all time. Thank you for posting this.
There's little more wonderful music than Ravel's piano works and, coupled with orchestra...well, it doesn't get any better. Argerich is a ball of incandescence married to flawless lyricism, and the ensemble does her proud. The second movement always reduces me to bittersweet tears, especially heartfelt with this remarkable performance. Every kudo in the book for this luminous performance.
I am admittedly a Martha fan, but she still constantly amazes me. It seems that regardless of the composer, or the difficulty of the piece, or the cultural genre, she not only performs the mechanics of her art with near perfection but she somehow goes beyond. It's almost as if she's in the head of the composer, playing always the way he wrote it, and sometimes the way he thought he wrote it, and then, in her own inimitable way, sometimes, this is probably what you meant it to sound like. I don't know if anyone else hears her this way, or even if she does, but I think it's what really sets her apart from other excellent pianists.....really unique.
Argerich's interpretation during the English horn solo (15:16) is remarkable. It's one time where the piano doesn't have the melody, and she approaches the music with her ears and clever musical instincts. This gives the orchestra soloists space to shine, and they kill it!
Yes, that happend also in Zürich last Weekend. She tryed to Play the same place as here like a Duett where she would be a secondo, and the english Hornist just played like accompaniment. In General, the Royal Philharmonic orchestra was too much routined and seemed to Play a gig.
@@goatlps The only thing that killed with this comment was my opinion of your tastes. Being a bully is a waste of time. And btw fwiw I don't watch reality tv music talent shows.
Argerich est sans aucun doute la grande spécialiste de ce Concerto en Sol. Son toucher dans le deuxième mouvement est quasi irréel, on touche au sublime. Magnifique!
Muchas gracias por subirlo. A fines de la década de los años treinta, sobrepasados los cincuenta años, Maurice Ravel se contaba entre los grandes músicos reconocidos internacionalmente. En 1927 había concebido su obra más popular, el Bolero, que según se cuenta, podía escucharse silbado y tarareado por las calles. El año 1928 recorrió Canadá y Estados Unidos en aplaudida gira, recibiendo encargos de composición y conociendo a músicos americanos, entre ellos, Gershwin, quien le pidió que le diera lecciones, a lo que Ravel repuso que no había necesidad. Más bien al contrario, fue Ravel quien quedó prendado de los giros jazzísticos de la música del autor de Rhapsody in blue. Ese mismo año recibió el doctorado honoris causa concedido por la Universidad de Oxford. Según cuenta el mismo Ravel, el deslumbrante tema inicial del Concierto para piano surgió mientras viajaba en tren de Oxford a Londres, no sabemos si en la oportunidad del doctorado o en alguna otra. Al año siguiente tenía el concierto bastante avanzado, al punto de que pensó en estrenarlo durante una gira planeada para ese año. Pero la gira nunca llegó a realizarse. El compositor tenía ya 54 años y su salud comenzaba a resentirse... Cortesía de la página "La Belleza de Escuchar".
I love how she's already standing up before the last note is even played lol. but no really she is amazing amazing and so was the english horn player! bravo!
Qué buena grabación, además de todo. La orquesta siempre presente (y, por supuesto, también muy buen trabajo del director). Y Argerich como siempre, impecable, ni qué decir. Excelente versión.
the second movement is simply breath-taking. I agree, I have not heard anyone play this concert like her, not even Benedetti Michelangeli, as Remsan03 said. Martha Argerich is the incarnation of perfection. The orchestra is also fantastic, must give credit to it and its conductor!
Muchas Gracias por compartir esta obra de arte. Uno de mis conciertos faviritos interpretado por una de mis pianistas favoritas acompañada por una orquesta legendaria. Al conductor es la primera vez que lo escucho, es muy bueno (le daré seguimiento al conductor). Viva Ravel. Saludos desde México.
Absolutely phenomenal, electrifying. Argerich shows such mastery here - in a live performance! that it almost defies belief. I especially love this piece because it goes against the usual idea of Ravel as "precious" : but with its jazz riffs, and the Looney Tunes finale, this has lots of acid bite, as well as the typical Ravel nostalgia...
What a great opportunity to see and hear the great Martha Argerich!! She owns this piece and after hearing her versions none other will do. A real drag that this outstanding video and musical performance cuts off before a proper conclusion!!! Still thank you to whomever posted it.
God I love Argerich's technique. Those glissandos right at the start are so effortless, it looks like she's doing something as casual as rolling pizza dough or something. A refreshing change from younger pianists who play challenging technical parts like their life depended on it, hunched over and swaying back and forth.
EXTRAORDINARIO CONCIERTO, CON SU INTIMISTA Y ROMÁNTICO 2° MOVIMIENTO, DE ÉSA GENIALIDAD DE MAURICE RAVEL, CON DOMINIO ORQUESTAL Y TEMÁTICO, QUE NO PODEMOS DEJAR DE RELACIONARLO CON SU HERMANO, EL CONCIERTO PARA LA MANO IZQUIERDA, TRÁGICO Y GENIAL... ¡ BRAVO POR EL MAESTRO RAVEL, LA ORQUESTA, SU DIRECTOR Y MARTHA ARGERICH, MI COMPATRIOTA GENIAL !!!...
tutto splendido. Il concerto per pianoforte e orchestra più bello della Storia, l'attuale migliore pianista al mondo... Beh, anche il trombettista non è male!!! :-***
Amazing concert ! She is a great musician . I love the way she plays this second mouvement . She phrases with a lot of expression keeping the simplicity and the elegance
This is so beautiful, I feel I will start to cry from pure joy. Then comes... a commercial break. A COMMERCIAL BREAK. Never happened before in a video with classical music. Oh, I know. We need all these commercials to finance this, and so on. It's just that I was really enjoying this. And now I'm not.
The part around 17:17 to 17:37 in the second movement which to me is the peak of ecstasy of this concerto produces an experience of journey of the end of a perfect dream as I am being awakened by the dawn of a perfect day.
ho avuto la fortuna di sentirla al Comunale di Ferrara di recente in questo concerto con Abbado e la MCO: credo che per questo concerto sia l' "accoppiata" migliore che esista !
Comment ne pas craquer Martha (vous permettez que je vous appelle Martha ?) dans tous les registres quelle force et quelles sonorités! Merci de nous faire partager cette puissante merveille.
15;30 duet with piano and oboe. Goosebumps, tears rolling down my cheeks, hair standing on end at back of head. On another subject, Gershwin went to visit Ravel to request composition lessons from him. Ravel told him that he has nothing to teach him and that he would just ruin a perfectly excellent thing.,
Wow, You know that Ravel liked to challenge the orchestra (more demanding than Frank Zappa), claiming the beat wasn't accurate and precise, but here - damn, and I never heard of her before.
C'est la meilleure interprétation du deuxième mouvement qui existe; on n'a qu'à écouter Leonard Bernstein. D'autant plus , il est lamentable que la fin n'existe pas.
Don Jose M. Garcia...pero creo que su excelente comentario se quedo corto, yo confío mas bien que los 22.38 minutos de concierto son para experimentar cualquier viaje al gusto y el estarcís musical. Así sea.
Don't even bother to check other performances as listed on the right >>> No one, and I mean no one plays this better than her. Not even Michelangeli (which pained me to say because Michelangeli was like a perfection personified). And how about other younger pianist, you say? Pffttt.... Puh-lease!
+remsan03 She's no match for the Herbie Hancock version. She actually makes a BIG, no HUGE mistake at 14:15, and she shows it. But this is one superb version too.

Not heard this version until now, absolutely stunning, she plays it like she wrote it!
Martha Argerich is a genious!!!!!!!!

she is THE BEST!!!!THE BEST!!! THE BEST!!!!! QUEEN MARTHA!
Natalia Benedetti ABM more beatiful performace
She is the best of the best nobody is like her.
Yes!Queen Martha!
Love how she shoots right up on the last chord!
For me she is the best pianist today.

+Jacob Hallman Well said! A fine example of why she is, to my mind, the greatest living pianist.
Yes, she is. I often think that Prokofiev would have LOVED her playing of his 3rd concerto.
Yes, that happend also in Zürich last Weekend. She tryed to Play the same place as here like a Duett where she would be a secondo, and the english Hornist just played like accompaniment. In General, the Royal Philharmonic orchestra was too much routined and seemed to Play a gig.
"Kill it", you've been watching too many reality TV music talent shows. Cringe.
@@goatlps The only thing that killed with this comment was my opinion of your tastes. Being a bully is a waste of time. And btw fwiw I don't watch reality tv music talent shows.
Pure magic... and those trills...
Gorgeous and exciting performance. BRAVA !!!!!
my favorite performance of this concerto
lucky audience!
Ravel Piano Concerto by Argerich.
I move and cry.
Good lord this is absolutely beautiful. What a treat to hear this. :)
Amo questa grande pianista,donna eccezionale ❤
Her virtuosism scare look like if she come from another world.She is fantastic.
Argerich est sans aucun doute la grande spécialiste de ce Concerto en Sol. Son toucher dans le deuxième mouvement est quasi irréel, on touche au sublime. Magnifique!
Martha Argerich is a great and real pianist. She has been playing the piano for nearly half century.
👍👍👍
+C N Lee More than half a century!

I love how she talks to the keys. around 10:05 it's almost like she's whispering the notes. magic !!

So moving,so inspiring,sheer BEAUTY ..Grateful forever for all Your Artistry..

The most eloquent interpretation of the 2nd movement!
She nailed it in this performance. Wow. I bought recordings of Argerich but did not become a fan. This is excellent!
17:27 ...aaah....that chord.....goosebumps every time
Valentin Chantereau greetings, random internet person! 18:13 has quite an effect on me as well
+Valentin Chantereau 2ns Mov is a mystery of intimity. Excellent rendition this one
+Valentin Chantereau me too everytime, for what it's worth.
Long live the Queen!
no words
Una de las grandes pianistas vivientes, sin duda. Una extensa carrera llena de éxitos y sin altibajos, una verdadera artista. Bravo Martha !!!
I. Allegramente. 0:31 II. Adagio assai. 09:05 III. Presto. 18:51
Thanks for doing the lazy uploader's work for them. 👍
tutto splendido. Il concerto per pianoforte e orchestra più bello della Storia, l'attuale migliore pianista al mondo... Beh, anche il trombettista non è male!!! :-***
Amazing concert ! She is a great musician . I love the way she plays this second mouvement . She phrases with a lot of expression keeping the simplicity and the elegance
22:42 stands up with the last note.
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS! i thought i would never see it again!
This is so beautiful, I feel I will start to cry from pure joy. Then comes... a commercial break. A COMMERCIAL BREAK. Never happened before in a video with classical music. Oh, I know. We need all these commercials to finance this, and so on. It's just that I was really enjoying this. And now I'm not.
she makes it look sooooo easy it's not... fairrr.....
You can really hear Gershwin's influence on Ravel, in this piece. Mutual admiration from each to the other.
9:05 is the 2nd movement you're probably wanting to hear.
The part around 17:17 to 17:37 in the second movement which to me is the peak of ecstasy of this concerto produces an experience of journey of the end of a perfect dream as I am being awakened by the dawn of a perfect day.
This is by far the version which the percussion section can be heard the most clearly to me, really interesting.
Wonderful.
ho avuto la fortuna di sentirla al Comunale di Ferrara di recente in questo concerto con Abbado e la MCO: credo che per questo concerto sia l' "accoppiata" migliore che esista !
Magic !
9:06 magical moments
ARGERICH IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A melhor pianista e música da mais alta qualidade: que mais se pode querer e apreciar??!!
super, danke
That is a Steinway! Modified by the Fabrini Co. It is one of several Model D's which are World Class pianos. Do your homework.
Good to see the enlightened correction
Bravo Roberto Rossi!! Gran trompetista.
La música de Ravel es siempre bella 😄
thank you so much for posting. Is there a available recording of this concert.
Divine!!!
Perfect
magnifique.
al minuto 7:25, qando entrano gli archi dopo i trilli della Argerich, io ho SEMPRE i brividi. E' stupendo quel passaggio...
excelente & literary comment
Comment ne pas craquer Martha (vous permettez que je vous appelle Martha ?) dans tous les registres quelle force et quelles sonorités! Merci de nous faire partager cette puissante merveille.
long live Argerich…!!!!!
a brilliant pianist... who cares how old she is....
she is wonderfull
not to mention the piece by Ravel
I wonder how many times she has played this concerto. She pretty much owns it.
LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
@ @ She still has it! Omg!
13:35 - 13:54 goosebumps
it is a Piccolo, which is like a smaller, higher-pitched flute.
❤
😍😍😍😍😍
peut-on connaître la date de cet enregistrement magnifique?
merci de l'avoir mis à disposition des utilisateurs de RUclips
For once in a concerto the 2nd mvt. is the best.
少し前のクラシック音楽館でアリス=紗良オットがソロを弾いたが、初っ端の両手グリッサンドで、ものの見事に鍵盤から指を落とした！！ それをわざと放映するNHKの意地悪さよ！！！！
15;30 duet with piano and oboe. Goosebumps, tears rolling down my cheeks, hair standing on end at back of head. On another subject, Gershwin went to visit Ravel to request composition lessons from him. Ravel told him that he has nothing to teach him and that he would just ruin a perfectly excellent thing.,
15:30 is duet with english horn. They do a very good job with it!
사랑해요 아르헤리치TT)
Wow, You know that Ravel liked to challenge the orchestra (more demanding than Frank Zappa), claiming the beat wasn't accurate and precise, but here - damn, and I never heard of her before.
the second movement...
⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘😊
I like how she jumps right up when it's finished
As does Helene Grimaud when she finishes a piece, and who also plays this piece to perfection.
I. Allegramente 0:32
II. Adagio assai 9:05
III. Presto 18:52
I think the third moviment is quite the best for the syncro orchestra piano.
which instrument was playing 00:39 ?
9:04 Adagio.
Gogogogo.
C'est la meilleure interprétation du deuxième mouvement qui existe; on n'a qu'à écouter Leonard Bernstein. D'autant plus , il est lamentable que la fin n'existe pas.
Don Jose M. Garcia...pero creo que su excelente comentario se quedo corto, yo confío mas bien que los 22.38 minutos de concierto son para experimentar cualquier viaje al gusto y el estarcís musical. Así sea.
it was fixed!
Concerto interruptus?
Leonard Bernstein said he could be awakened in middle of night and play this piece
Anyone here because of Nodame ?
I really wish I could appreciate music like she does. The only observation I'm sure of is that this pianist is extremely skilled hahaha
Yes!! I like this piece although I don't have the knowledge to truly appreciate it.
hahaha yup
why did it get cut off...RIGHT AT THE FUCKING END
da 19:00 a 20:47 :)
GRANDE!!!BUT PLEASE: DON'T CUT the end!!!!!!!1
Was it just me or Argerich almost blew up most of her part during the English horn solo? (from 15:16) The two were not at all together at some points.
it was just you.
Don't even bother to check other performances as listed on the right >>>
No one, and I mean no one plays this better than her. Not even Michelangeli (which pained me to say because Michelangeli was like a perfection personified).
And how about other younger pianist, you say?
Pffttt.... Puh-lease!
Bernstein also KILLS it while conducting!
+remsan03 She's no match for the Herbie Hancock version. She actually makes a BIG, no HUGE mistake at 14:15, and she shows it.
But this is one superb version too.
Herbie Who???????
+Dirk Schippers Herbie Hancock and Argerich; admirable musicians, both :)
+remsan03 Your comment and attitude is nothing but annoying.
Sticking to the 'one definitive interpretation' brings you nowhere.
Bello ma il concerto di Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (Celibidache direttore con London SO) è di un altro pianeta.
the bassoonist's fingers at 20:51...how in the?
never heard of a fabbrini piano before
Hahaha
