I just love the fact that it took about 7 mins for Martha Argerich to wake the orchestra up, before they realized that they were in a legendary performance. This is one of the best performances of the 3rd that I have ever heard in my 71 year life.
Найдите Александра Малофеева! Это изменит вашу жизнь ещё больше. Как играет этот мальчик! В нем вся моя Родина, вся Россия! Рахманинов любимый композитор
If you watch her eyes at the end, she doesn't even look at the keyboard. She is completely focused on the conductor to synchronize every single beat and measure into complete harmony with the orchestra. This amazing ability to play monstrous chords without even bothering to look down lends a level of perfection and chemistry between pianist and conductor I have rarely witnessed. THAT's why she's smiling at the end! This ending would make even Sergei himself break out into a smile! To quote from Argentina's National Anthem, "Sean eternos los laureles!"
I'm in California, in the middle of a rehab project--that has taken tooo many years. While searching for something that would transport me out of the junk around me I find Martha Argerich and Mr. R's #3!! So grateful. Thank you.
I am not a musician, but a truck driver (son of a bus driver). I had this taped from an NPR program, and this music carried through the night as I drove through the Nebraska on my way to Colorado (no good radio out there and I didn't have XM). Thanks God for inspiring this guy to write such a beautiful piece!! (amen).
Yes...thank God for Sergei Rachmaninoff Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin are all the greats...but this music is like no other. It take me to another place and back... I imagine it does the same for you....Cheers!
@ peter B - God bless! I hate the cliche that truck drivers are uncultured meth heads and prostitute junkies.. One of the smartest, most erudite radio radio personalities I listen to admitted, his second profession of choice would be truck driving, because of the opportunities afforded to see all of America, and meet lots of interesting people. He also conducts orchestra's as a side line. Check out Dennis Praeger for stimulating drive time "talk radio" Just my advice from one "blue collar" guy to another -:)
I've been playing the piano for 67 years and all I can do is shake my head in disbelief at playing like this. She is in the class of the rarest of pianistic geniuses. I'm talking about people like Rachmaninoff himself (my desert island pianist), Lhevinne, Hofmann, Horowitz and Richter.
hi donald; I was blessed to have an aunt and uncle who could play PARTS of the concertos you mentioned; but that started me on this type of romantic music (no, i do not play) but I love to listen. did you happen to see the movie, AMADEUS? Lots of music by Mozart. i also like the concerto by Schubert; i think it's number 1. -- Ogden
Horowitz was the one who received - from Rachmaninoff himself - the comment, "That's how it's supposed to be played". What a compliment! I only wish I could find a recording of Richter playing it.
@@oleflogger6828 You would be hard pressed to find one.To the best of my knowledge,Richter never recorded it because he said that he couldn't 'connect' to it despite undoubtedly having the technical accumen to do so.Richter was very temperamental at times,part of his genius.
This, ladies and gentleman, is genius. The concerto itself is a pinnacle of classical music and an incredibly difficult piece to perform well. Martha is 'on fire' and sometimes, although it looks like things are getting out of control, she delivers a magical and epic performance, true genius. You will rarely see and hear a performance like this again. Just enjoy - again and again
Chris… enjoyed and marveled at this incredible performance a dozen or more times. The perfect amalgamation of composer, pianist, conductor, and orchestra. One wonders when Ms Argerich and Claudio embraced at the podium if she said” hey let’s get together for a beer later?”
+Populous3 Tutorials That has to be the most awesome endorsement of a piece of music I've ever heard. :-) I hope your tummy wasn't too sore afterwards. :-)
Late Romantic Music has so much vast and rich history behind every notes, chords, motifs, it is so satisfying when a pianist like Martha Argerich knows all the subtleties behind Rachmaninoff's ideas. One of my favorites late-romantic composer obviously. Pure Drama, energy and delicacy.
It's almost desensitizing, to be honest. I find it dazzles me so that I'm slightly blinded to less adventurous music for a while. (Note: adventurous not in the sense of "experimental" but in the sense of "recounting adventures")
I know nothing about classical music. I googled Rachmaninoff simply because it was mentioned in a book I was reading and was curious. On a whim I decided to see this video. Now I have bookmarked it. I have fallen in love with it. SUPERB. SUPERB.
The fastest performance of this concerto in live concert is by Zoltan Koscic. Type Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No 3 Zoltan Koscic into the search field and be prepared to be knocked on your @ss.
Check out Alexander Gavrylyuk with Thomas Dausgaard and the BBC SSO. Neither is as "starry" as Argerich and Chailly but the performance is at least as good and the sound is way better - ruclips.net/video/jC6cY4J5c1I/видео.html
I was lucky enough to see her in person this last summer at an ASU competition here in Phoenix. There was a mix-up of the position of the 2 pianos on stage. She laughed and helped move the seats around! You can tell she enjoys every minute she plays as well as listening to fellow pianists. A gracious and supremely talented artist.
The composer himself has admitted Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 3 is not easy to interpret well. However, Martha Argerich is a musical genius. She has overcome all difficulties and performed very nice music. She is one of the greatest pianists.
I have less connection to it than to the 2 which I feel definitively means something. I don't know what this 3rd means if you know what i mean? I can't place this music emotionally...
@@burrenmagic I know what you mean, took a while for this concerto to “click” for me compared to the 2nd one but now the 2nd movement here is my favorite between the two concertos
That is true. I have heard a lot of musicians playing this concert. Many of them just show how rapidly they can move their fingers. There is no soul in their performance. But this interpretation of Martha is just great. Absolutely perfect. I cry every time I listen to this.
She is so amazing. Still my favorite pianist after years of listening to all different types of classical music. It had been years since I listened to her play this concerto; when I revisited it for the first time the other day, I got shivers and intense feelings in all the same places as when I was younger... Truly shows that anything true and timeless will never go away or change. That is definitely the case with Rachmaninoff as well as with Argerich.
What a legendary performance and what a rapport between Martha and Riccardo! Martha is mesmerising- she takes you on a roller coaster ride, at times on the wings of a soaring butterfly, and then riding on the back of a sprinting panther, lifted by a condor or tossed into a tempest at high sea. No words to describe the feelings evoked by her magic at the keys! You just cannot stop your heart from racing. Oh and the moment at 39:33 when Martha smiled at Riccardo knowing they made history
This performance was and remains an instant classic. No one had ever played the Rach 3 at warp speed, much less have the phenomenal technical ability to pull it off. The result may not be precisely what Rachmaninoff had in mind but it is electrifying.
I don't know how many times I've listed to this or other interpretations. This stands out as an incredible performance on every level. Thank goodness this was recorded and placed on RUclips.
I mean, the woman is a Legend! Her tone is one of the most unique and powerful tones on the piano. There is a reason why she is always counted amongst the greatest pianists to date. This performance of the 3rd Rach is as much legendary as the performer, and one of the best I've ever heard! That said...that camera?! I mean it's like someone told them: "tonight you will be recording a piano concerto. A living legend will be performing! But we don't want to see none of that. We want to see long shots of the conductors cufflinks, long wide angles of the backs of the orchestra, the pianist's hair, but don't you dare show her hands...or else!" They missed most (if not all) of the great parts of the concerto, where you actually want to see the pianist performing - their hands! It is honestly frustrating.
I totally agree. I so want to see the virtuosic hands. I would be happier with the still frame fixed on the pianist sideways on shoring the hands the entire video.
My thoughts exactly! Yes, Ricardo Chailly is marvelous, this orchestra engaged. But it's as if the film director had no sense of what was unfolding, the presence of genius in this PIANO concerto, not Concerto with a piano note and then. Martha, so young and exquisite, beautifully passionately and ever true to the music. So grateful to hear this 60 years later!
There is a lot of love in this masterpiece. Lovers cry when they listen. Passionate, dark and liberating moments dance on every note played. Touch my heart whenever I listen. I'm a guitarist and I love Rachmaninoff
I understand your love and utter phenomenal, unbelievable talent of this pianist; In my professional opinion, she is the best in THE WORLD; YES, I SAID IN THE WORLD
This was such a nasty and wild and powerful performance when she was young. Straight. Tough. Clear! Maybe she may not like it too much nowadays. Who knows? This was one of the very best ever performances ever played on the globe! Happy birthday great maestro Martha Argerich!
You have to admire her power and clarity. Such a clear beginning and throughout. She isn't afraid of this piece at all. No timidity. I don't know if I really ever heard the piece before hearing this genius' rendition. I cried. She takes you everywhere there is to go. Unbelievable. Bravo! Bravo! At the conclusion, I felt like screaming.
거친 바다의 항해같기도하고 낙엽 뒹구는 러시아의 옷깃여미게하는 어느 바람부는 스산한 거리같기도 한..그러나 눈물짓게되는 따뜻함이 있는.. 마르타 아르헤리치와 오케스트라의 이 협연 연주는 제 귀를 너무 행복하게 해줘요. 고맙고 감사합니다ㅎㅎ 세월속에서 더욱 빛이나고 귀한 연주인거 같아요~~ 돌아가시면 정말 눈물날거 같은데 ㅠ 부디 건강하셔서 오래오래 연주부탁드려요!
It's as if Rachmaninov wrote the concerto with Martha's virtuosic abilities in mind. Beyond mortal performance of the toccata cadenza. Flawless rendering of all three movements.
There is something about the tiny piano solo at 35:30 that completely shatters my heart, moments before the torrent-like main theme of the third movement kicks back in and the concerto enters its climax, those few chords played with such delicacy and unexplained melancholy never fail to make me tear up.
Many pianists can play this piece extremely well, and many of them have absolutely mastered it. But, except for Ashkenazy, I’ve not seen anyone play it as though it’s a walk in the park....Argerich plays like a fury, but makes it look as easy as a nursery rhyme. After watching this, I think of Daniil Trifonov, for example, and I wonder what the drenching sweat is about! Argerich is a genius.
@@eel9I saw him play it live as one of the first times I listened to it and I didn’t particularly enjoy it. After listening to it more times it’s probably one of if not my favorite piece and I still kick myself for not being able to appreciate the concert
@@Michachel Oh no!! The first time I listened to it, I didn't enjoy it either! It took a few listeneings. When I saw Trifonov play it live it was the best experience of my life!
God bless RUclips! The thrill of watching Argerich and hearing this particular recording is an enormous privilege. And it's free! I have at least 5 recordings of this concerto and this is my top favorite! Phenomenal. How can a person move their fingers that fast and still hit the right notes in the right sequence? Incredible.
I love the conductor's face when he's happy and smiling while he's conducting....he is so doing what he loves. Makes ME smile. This was wonderful. Thank you so much for spreading such joy around.
I've loved the Rach 2 since I was 2 years old; playing our 78-rpm records of it I wore out the spindle holes. But I didn't get the 3rd till I saw the film about David Helfgott in the mid-'90s. Then I found this recording; how fortunate that was. I seem to recall some critic saying that another had called this the greatest recorded musical performance ever--or more likely the greatest ever of a piano concerto, or at any rate this concerto. I don't see how it could possibly be surpassed. Somehow Argerich combines at every moment complete mastery with being on the edge of losing control--so impassioned is she: like the very greatest athletes. And this concerto, though really of the 19th century, has for me only one competitor written in the 20th in this genre: Bartok's 2nd. I wish she had recorded that; she doesn't record as soloist with orchestra any more. I never tire of this concerto, or this recording, so powerful and so rich and subtle in feelings, so complex in the interweaving of the instrumental voices, in that respect much like Bach.
Richard Salisbury Richard, there is only 1 Argerich. That said, there is an equally emotional, heart tugging performance from a 24 year old Olga Kern, recorded at the 2011 Cliburn. She was a co-gold medalist. The last 2-3 minutes will give you goose bumps. She was, at the time a very young mother, playing for her musical life. The 1st movement, considering the pressure, is practically flawless, one of the best 1st movements you'll ever hear. The reast is at the very same high level of musicianship. Enjoy. As for this, what a performance by both this magnificent orchestra, conductor, and the indomitable Martha Argerich.
Robert Jason Thanks much for the recommendation. I think I did listen to Olga Kern's performance, but probably only some of the first movement. I know I liked what I heard. I'll listen to the whole performance soon!
Robert Jason thank you for the recommendation - I'm going to go and find it now too. I heard Federico Colli play this at the barbican earlier this year - he stepped in with literally 4 hours notice, and although he was not technically perfect, my god, the passion. i cried like a baby. But Argerich basically owns this in the end.
I watched Shine several years ago and soon felt love in Rach 3. I've almost listened all the other famous pianists' interpretation, but Argerich's is definitely my favorite one. Every time I listen to her Cadenza in the 1st movement and the beginning of the 3rd movement, I just feel that everything in front of eyes disappears and the only thing left is the shining music that makes me crazy!
..hoy ,Marta cumple 80 años, que viva muchos años mas para que los amantes de la música podamos seguir disfrutando de sus maravillosas interpretaciones.- Saludos desde Chile
One of the most technically challenging pieces ever written, the Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30, composed in 1909 by Sergei Rachmaninoff. And masterfully played if I do say so myself. Exceedingly talented, this one.
Благодарю за возможность просмотра этого контента!Великолепное исполнение гениальной пианисткой одного из сложнейших во всех отношениях, фортепианного концерта!! Блестящая техника, виртуозность в этом исполнении сочетается с глубиной проникновения в содержание этой гениальной музыки! Великолепно выстроено единство формы и содержания!! Дирижёр вдохновенно руководил всем процессом исполнения! Оркестр был на высоте!! Это одно из лучших исполнений данного произведения!!!
29:25 - That arpeggio in the right hand, she plays it so gently quiet and yet fast, you can barely hear it. She instead brings up the lower melody and it just sounds so beautiful.
I think it's the best performance of Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3 along with Horowitz. Her amazing technique is always amazing. I'm in awe of the stormy Cadenza. She is the best pianist of the 21st century.
Legendary. She simply slays this monster of a piece. Also, the camera focusing on the snare drum in the third mvmt cadenza while she’s cranking out those menacingly difficult triplet octaves in the left hand is an absolute crime.
Favorite recording of this work. She's amazing. The folks in the audience were not quite aware of what just unfolded, but it was ferocious romanticism. A jagged path from dark to light. Really well done.
What you see/hear here is what the Argerich legend was all about. She plays this crazy concerto with an almost nonchalant demeanor at dazzlingly consistent level of virtuosity all the way through with no apparent effort while maintaining a fabulous, essentially total artistic control at all times. Perhaps Michelangeli and Richter and Horowitz were in various ways better artists than this lady but this kind of control we see here with Martha without her working up any sweat, no, that was beyond all the three of them.
Yes, CarboKid - here's a woman for all seasons. What happened here was a fusion of passion and prowess. No fireworks or drama - I've never witnessed such a direct channelling of an understanding of a composition enabled by the physical capacity to do so. At times it felt as if she could have picked up the piano and played it like a bandoleon. It's rare that anyone appears to be able to defy the laws of physics. Each era replaces the old heroes with new but this is for all time. I think the Sergei Vasiievitch would have been astonished by this..
CarborundumKid Indeed, indeed! You have expressed your observations perfectly. The command, the blinding brilliance, the astonishing ability to pull the music out of the piano through the legato passages. I imagine Rachmaninov would bow to her, her interpretation, even shed tears of joy and gratitude that she honored his composition by giving her all, every ounce of her heart and soul, mind and body to this performance.
I just keep returning and listening! Her interpretation is so different then Rachmaninoff's which is with a perfect technique and telling his own story but she is using her technique differently and her interpretation is more alive and passionate which I am certain woke up all the orchestra to give the best. Bravo!
Ho sempre pensato ai concerti di Rachmaninov come a performance amorose, per cui fosse necessario un vigore maschio, virile, per "fare l'amore" col pianoforte. Invece la grandissima Martha mi fa ricredere. Esecuzione meravigliosa, emozione fortissima.
you know.... people like this should never die!!! Honestly ....I had the chance to see her twice on live.... It s exactly like that. Sorry .... Better. Cause you think the big sounds are some sort of speaker or technology but then no.... She speaks louder than the whole orchestra. Bravo
I know Martha no longer performs this concerto, but wouldn't it be amazing if she resurrected it for a Jubilee concert like Horowitz did at the age of 75. I would travel to any part of the world to see that!
This is the greatest performance I have ever seen of anything of the greatest piece of music I have ever known. Thank you so much for this magic, uploader, Argerich, Chailly, the orchestra and, of course, Rachmaninoff himself.
Masterful in every sense....Rachmaninoff, the genius...always will be my favorite! Kudos to the amazing conductor and orchestra Thank you Martha for sharing your music with us!
In my opinion, this music is such a marvel of humanity that I think this piece is on the top of greatness achieved by mankind on the line with the moon landing. This is just Breathtaking.
This is one of the great performances/collaborations of the twentieth century. There is no pianistic stone left unturned, and the conductor is doing a fantastic listening/juggling act. Martha is a phenomenon, a coloristic and pianistic genius. Somewhere, perhaps on a high astral plane, you might find another performance like this. It's almost Schumannesque in some of the timbres and voicings, and full of that rare nervous energy with which Martha brings. Can't say enough about it, really, speaking as a pianist. We'll let the so-called experts on Rachmaninoff and Russian music duke it out about whether it's enough in the Proto-Neo-Romantic Russian vein for THEM. When Argerich leaves us, we will have lost one of the greats.
Someone mentioned about there being no standing ovation; these were very rarer at the time this was recorded but I do take your point. This is an astonishing performance from both orchestra and conductor. I'm so glad it was captured on film and so grateful that we have it here to watch on RUclips. I wonder if anyone can find a finer version than this...? Utterly brilliant...
Seth Auster-Rosen I wholeheartedly apologise. Martha Agerich is one of the world's finest pianists and I meant no disrespect to her at all. As I said in my 'review', I share your enthusiasm...!
ComposerInUK I think you would like to listen to Yefim Bronfman's performance, even though the video is a little fussy it doesn't take away from a magnificent performance. I think you will enjoy. I also like Olga Kern.
suzanne kruys Thank you. I shall look it up. I like Olga Kern too and there are some very fine young players coming up but this is my favourite... so far! Thank you for the heads up. I don't need a strong push to listen again to this wonderful concerto.
yeah and martha is most likely a better pianist he ever was, which is only normal since technique and ways to learn the piano are always evolving and shes top notch too back then prob only a few would be able to play this, nowadays hundredths can
Monumental execution of one of the most difficult page of piano and orchestral music. Without executors sceneggiata: only skills and correct author's interpretation. Thanks for loading.
39:30 is all you need to see, that cheeky smile as she reaches the climbing passage of the release of the D Major passion after the moodiness of the entire piece, she knows this piece as it's supposed to be played.
From 33:10 to 34:33 is powerful. The nostalgia is palpable, almost as if the constant eye contact is a plea to remember. Overall, though she's a little heavy on the bravura at the expense of the 'little notes', the constant surprises in her inner voices make for wonderfully satisfying listening. Truly one of the giants.
Fabulous interpretation of Martha, perfect execution, and she also makes it very beautiful with a lot of sensitivity. This video is a treasure of music
Every time I hear this great performance, the tears flow and I get something else out of it. From 39:20 on she is positively making love to the piano, to the orchestra, to the music. If that's not a climax, I don't know what is. That's how the video in RUclips can add what a plain recording can't give you. Listen and watch again.
awe-inspiring! The turmoil within her that so obviously dominates the event is completely absent in her facial expressions. pure, genius, musical expression...
Felt like I watched a very dramatic movie. Thrilling, suspenful, triumphant and heroic in the end. Forgot to breathe at some points.. wonderful playing Can’t get enough!
I have heard it said that she is the greatest pianist in the world; I WOULD AGREE, over and over again; i listen to this piece with she and this conductor and orchestra since I discovered her; it hasn`t been a long time; but GOD gives me whatever time i have left on this planet, i will be listening to THIS piece into whatever journeys there are for me. THANK YOU MARTHA ARGERICH, RICARDO CHAILLY AND THE BERLIN RADIO ORCHESTRA.
I love her performance....Martha Argerich....She's just an another level!!!! I applaud for her passionate playing and delicacy with whole my heart.... We're so lucky to have this wonderful pianist of the 21st century.....I'm very thankful to listen it... Love Martha and Rachmaninoff!!! BRAVO! MUCH RESPECT!👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
maybe standing ovations weren't so commonplace in 1982. I go to the Philadelphia Orchestra and after every concert there's one, not only that, the performer is called back a minimum of 3 times to the stage, everytime. Only if the audience really likes him/her is (s)he called back a fourth time and performs an encore. so 3 has become the new 0.
I think the audience was too stunned to move. Undoubtedly the most intense and passionate interpretation of the Rach 3 played live that I have heard, at any rate.
My mother was a concert pianist of this caliber; 8 hours of practice a day and believe me, it's committed to memory. Even today, if she is listening to a piece, then goes to another task, when she returns, she expects the piece to resume, not where she left off, but where it would be had it not stopped--in other words, somewhere in her mind the piece continues, even if she's not hearing it. The mental training of a concert pianist develops very interesting areas of the brain.
Audrey Ahmann That's just crazy. 8 hours a day of practice, I believe it. I just started playing in January, and the more I learn, practice, and play, the more I can appreciate what an achievement a feat like this is. It amazes me that stuff like this is even possible.
Best FEMALE pianist??? How about just best pianist - she is so amazing - she is as good or better than any male pianist - She is in the top 5 best in my book! Actually she is my favorite!
Horowitz's Rachmaninoff 3rd Concerto is no comparison to Argerich. Horowitz unfortunately was sloppy and uneven, and even his earliest of the performances were not as polished and exciting as Argerich. His recording in the 1950s should have been one of the greats, and it is not. Horowitz was an uneven pianist who at his best was fantastic. But when not playing his best (Beethoven Appassionata for example), other pianists could outshine him not too rarely. His encores though were legendary and inspired many pianists after him, especially those of the past 30 years.
The stars were aligned for this one! Yes, of course, Martha is exquisite and Berliner (I am assuming) with maestro Chailly are magnificent and reliable as a sunrise. But the audio recording engineers were also critical in the success of this undertaking. Especially, the balance struck between Martha and the orchestra is so satisfying. Great work!👏👏👏
she starts to become liquid gold, or platinum, or something otherworldly around 12 minute. So good. I am in the utmost admiration. Love this piece and this lady (and all in this performance.) Quite satisfying.
Such passion and fire in Martha's playing!! Have not heard anyone play the Rachmaninof 3 like her. Truly a masterpiece and if you're not moved by this performance then you can't be moved. ❤🎉❤🎉
IMO the definitive Rach 3 performance over the years. A lot of modern pianist (exemplified by the likes of Lang Lang) likes to add body movements, but just look at the execution of the most difficult passages of the first movement and the cadenza is where Martha really shines.
Posiblemente la interpretación mas bella que he escuhado de Rach 3, junto con la interpretación de Denis Matsuev. Simplemente es increible la interpetación de Martha y la orquesta, sin palabras. Que lindo empezar el 2022 escuchando esta maravilla!
@@nicolaspachecoarangoRachmaninov y Horowitz eran a demás amigos...Quien mejor que este para interpretar el sentimiento de aquel!!...Aunque lo de Martha es sublime y poderoso!!...
The more I watch this video - and I just can't stop watching it - the more I am convinced that this is the single greatest bravura performance in the history of the recorded music.
I just love the fact that it took about 7 mins for Martha Argerich to wake the orchestra up, before they realized that they were in a legendary performance. This is one of the best performances of the 3rd that I have ever heard in my 71 year life.
We share the same sentiments about Martha Argerich, she’s just phenomenal! Are you born in 1952? We are of kindred spirits, blessings!😅
This is the best Rach 3 I've ever heard, though I'm not quite that old. 😉

That is the beauty of music. Transcends money, Class and even music snobbery! universal! x
It sure must have been a wonderful journey.
I've been playing the piano for 67 years and all I can do is shake my head in disbelief at playing like this. She is in the class of the rarest of pianistic geniuses. I'm talking about people like Rachmaninoff himself (my desert island pianist), Lhevinne, Hofmann, Horowitz and Richter.
hi donald; I was blessed to have an aunt and uncle who could play
PARTS of the concertos you mentioned; but that started me on this
type of romantic music (no, i do not play) but I love to listen. did you
happen to see the movie, AMADEUS? Lots of music by Mozart. i also like the concerto by Schubert; i think it's number 1. -- Ogden
I completely agree!!!
Horowitz was the one who received - from Rachmaninoff himself - the comment, "That's how it's supposed to be played". What a compliment! I only wish I could find a recording of Richter playing it.

This, ladies and gentleman, is genius. The concerto itself is a pinnacle of classical music and an incredibly difficult piece to perform well. Martha is 'on fire' and sometimes, although it looks like things are getting out of control, she delivers a magical and epic performance, true genius. You will rarely see and hear a performance like this again. Just enjoy - again and again

+Populous3 Tutorials That has to be the most awesome endorsement of a piece of music I've ever heard. :-) I hope your tummy wasn't too sore afterwards. :-)
very good performance.
Impossible to top Vladimir Horowitz the Reiner version from 1957 however.
Listening to Rachmaninov is like entering the land of your deepest hopes.
Concertos 2 and 3 just leave me in the best kind of exhaustion.
Late Romantic Music has so much vast and rich history behind every notes, chords, motifs, it is so satisfying when a pianist like Martha Argerich knows all the subtleties behind Rachmaninoff's ideas.
One of my favorites late-romantic composer obviously. Pure Drama, energy and delicacy.
It's almost desensitizing, to be honest. I find it dazzles me so that I'm slightly blinded to less adventurous music for a while. (Note: adventurous not in the sense of "experimental" but in the sense of "recounting adventures")
pls listen to the 5th
No wonder they chose Rachmaninoff concerto even at the winter olympics opening in Sochi!

I know nothing about classical music. I googled Rachmaninoff simply because it was mentioned in a book I was reading and was curious. On a whim I decided to see this video.
Now I have bookmarked it. I have fallen in love with it.
SUPERB. SUPERB.
Better late than never! You'll love him more and more

The fastest performance of this concerto in live concert is by Zoltan Koscic. Type Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No 3 Zoltan Koscic into the search field and be prepared to be knocked on your @ss.
This is simply the ultimate Rach3 concerto performance , no one has come close nor ever will, Thank you Martha
Horowitz?
Check out Alexander Gavrylyuk with Thomas Dausgaard and the BBC SSO. Neither is as "starry" as Argerich and Chailly but the performance is at least as good and the sound is way better - ruclips.net/video/jC6cY4J5c1I/видео.html

I was lucky enough to see her in person this last summer at an ASU competition here in Phoenix. There was a mix-up of the position of the 2 pianos on stage. She laughed and helped move the seats around! You can tell she enjoys every minute she plays as well as listening to fellow pianists. A gracious and supremely talented artist.
Without a doubt, one of the best things on RUclips.
I think so
I absolutely agree 😌
The composer himself has admitted Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 3 is not easy to interpret well. However, Martha Argerich is a musical genius. She has overcome all difficulties and performed very nice music. She is one of the greatest pianists.
I have less connection to it than to the 2 which I feel definitively means something. I don't know what this 3rd means if you know what i mean? I can't place this music emotionally...
Strike that. I've just heard the 2nd movement again. Holy Fuck.
I totally agree, CN Lee.
@@burrenmagic I know what you mean, took a while for this concerto to “click” for me compared to the 2nd one but now the 2nd movement here is my favorite between the two concertos
That is true. I have heard a lot of musicians playing this concert. Many of them just show how rapidly they can move their fingers. There is no soul in their performance. But this interpretation of Martha is just great. Absolutely perfect. I cry every time I listen to this.
The way she played the Cadenza in the first movement is just beyond my comprehension. How did she do it?
She's my Queen. Tempo, timbre and tenacity.
We are unbelievably privileged to be able to access such treasure at the press of a button. Glod bless you, Martha.
She is so amazing. Still my favorite pianist after years of listening to all different types of classical music. It had been years since I listened to her play this concerto; when I revisited it for the first time the other day, I got shivers and intense feelings in all the same places as when I was younger... Truly shows that anything true and timeless will never go away or change. That is definitely the case with Rachmaninoff as well as with Argerich.
NJC... agreed!
What a legendary performance and what a rapport between Martha and Riccardo! Martha is mesmerising- she takes you on a roller coaster ride, at times on the wings of a soaring butterfly, and then riding on the back of a sprinting panther, lifted by a condor or tossed into a tempest at high sea. No words to describe the feelings evoked by her magic at the keys! You just cannot stop your heart from racing. Oh and the moment at 39:33 when Martha smiled at Riccardo knowing they made history
Quel bonheur de pouvoir écouter et voir cette merveilleuse interprétation . Merci .
This performance was and remains an instant classic. No one had ever played the Rach 3 at warp speed, much less have the phenomenal technical ability to pull it off. The result may not be precisely what Rachmaninoff had in mind but it is electrifying.
I think this is EXACTLY what Rachmaninoff had in mind.... This is the BEST Rach 3 interpretation...
Horowitz actually plays it faster. Both he and Argerich bring something magical to it.

I don't know how many times I've listed to this or other interpretations. This stands out as an incredible performance on every level. Thank goodness this was recorded and placed on RUclips.
I mean, the woman is a Legend! Her tone is one of the most unique and powerful tones on the piano. There is a reason why she is always counted amongst the greatest pianists to date. This performance of the 3rd Rach is as much legendary as the performer, and one of the best I've ever heard!
That said...that camera?! I mean it's like someone told them: "tonight you will be recording a piano concerto. A living legend will be performing! But we don't want to see none of that. We want to see long shots of the conductors cufflinks, long wide angles of the backs of the orchestra, the pianist's hair, but don't you dare show her hands...or else!" They missed most (if not all) of the great parts of the concerto, where you actually want to see the pianist performing - their hands! It is honestly frustrating.
I totally agree. I so want to see the virtuosic hands. I would be happier with the still frame fixed on the pianist sideways on shoring the hands the entire video.
My thoughts exactly! Yes, Ricardo Chailly is marvelous, this orchestra engaged. But it's as if the film director had no sense of what was unfolding, the presence of genius in this PIANO concerto, not Concerto with a piano note and then.
Martha, so young and exquisite, beautifully passionately and ever true to the music.
So grateful to hear this 60 years later!
Haha well said.
There is a lot of love in this masterpiece. Lovers cry when they listen. Passionate, dark and liberating moments dance on every note played. Touch my heart whenever I listen. I'm a guitarist and I love Rachmaninoff
This is video I watch on a regular basis. The music can pull at my heart strings EVERY TIME. I even changed my name to Martha for Martha Argerich.
+Martha Ning I respect your dedication. You've inspired me to consider changing my name to Marc-Andre
+The Queen Brit Actually I was born with a Chinese name only and then I moved to Australia where I use Martha as my new name!
Awesome xD
I understand your love and utter phenomenal, unbelievable talent of this pianist; In my professional opinion, she is the best in THE WORLD; YES, I SAID IN THE WORLD
Argerich will definitely go down in history as one of the greatest pianists in all of human history.
Wow! This is one of the greatest concertos I have ever heard. The music at 18:20 is truly epic
This was such a nasty and wild and powerful performance when she was young. Straight. Tough. Clear! Maybe she may not like it too much nowadays. Who knows? This was one of the very best ever performances ever played on the globe! Happy birthday great maestro Martha Argerich!
You have to admire her power and clarity. Such a clear beginning and throughout. She isn't afraid of this piece at all. No timidity. I don't know if I really ever heard the piece before hearing this genius' rendition. I cried. She takes you everywhere there is to go. Unbelievable. Bravo! Bravo! At the conclusion, I felt like screaming.
Most beautiful opening melody played at the perfect tempo with such technical & musical virtuosity.
거친 바다의 항해같기도하고 낙엽 뒹구는 러시아의 옷깃여미게하는 어느 바람부는 스산한 거리같기도 한..그러나 눈물짓게되는 따뜻함이 있는.. 마르타 아르헤리치와 오케스트라의 이 협연 연주는 제 귀를 너무 행복하게 해줘요. 고맙고 감사합니다ㅎㅎ 세월속에서 더욱 빛이나고 귀한 연주인거 같아요~~ 돌아가시면 정말 눈물날거 같은데 ㅠ 부디 건강하셔서 오래오래 연주부탁드려요!
It's as if Rachmaninov wrote the concerto with Martha's virtuosic abilities in mind. Beyond mortal performance of the toccata cadenza. Flawless rendering of all three movements.
There is something about the tiny piano solo at 35:30 that completely shatters my heart, moments before the torrent-like main theme of the third movement kicks back in and the concerto enters its climax, those few chords played with such delicacy and unexplained melancholy never fail to make me tear up.
I feel the same way
@@8moltovivace8you guys should meet then 😊. If you end up effing, you ll both have the time of your life
Many pianists can play this piece extremely well, and many of them have absolutely mastered it. But, except for Ashkenazy, I’ve not seen anyone play it as though it’s a walk in the park....Argerich plays like a fury, but makes it look as easy as a nursery rhyme. After watching this, I think of Daniil Trifonov, for example, and I wonder what the drenching sweat is about! Argerich is a genius.
our national treasure!
some people just sweat more. Stronger metabolism.
Trifonov's rendition of this piece is nothing short of amazing
@@eel9I saw him play it live as one of the first times I listened to it and I didn’t particularly enjoy it. After listening to it more times it’s probably one of if not my favorite piece and I still kick myself for not being able to appreciate the concert
@@Michachel Oh no!! The first time I listened to it, I didn't enjoy it either! It took a few listeneings. When I saw Trifonov play it live it was the best experience of my life!
God bless RUclips! The thrill of watching Argerich and hearing this particular recording is an enormous privilege. And it's free! I have at least 5 recordings of this concerto and this is my top favorite! Phenomenal. How can a person move their fingers that fast and still hit the right notes in the right sequence? Incredible.
지휘자는 땀을 흘리는데... 연주자는 너무 편안하게... 땀도 안흘리고.... 정확하고 엄청나게 빠른 타건을 하네요... 천재
She doesn't know the pop
I read this concert was recorded on 1982. Fourty two years ago!
Chailly and Argerich performing!
It's a jewel!
Thx for posting!
I love the conductor's face when he's happy and smiling while he's conducting....he is so doing what he loves. Makes ME smile. This was wonderful. Thank you so much for spreading such joy around.
I've loved the Rach 2 since I was 2 years old; playing our 78-rpm records of it I wore out the spindle holes. But I didn't get the 3rd till I saw the film about David Helfgott in the mid-'90s. Then I found this recording; how fortunate that was. I seem to recall some critic saying that another had called this the greatest recorded musical performance ever--or more likely the greatest ever of a piano concerto, or at any rate this concerto. I don't see how it could possibly be surpassed. Somehow Argerich combines at every moment complete mastery with being on the edge of losing control--so impassioned is she: like the very greatest athletes. And this concerto, though really of the 19th century, has for me only one competitor written in the 20th in this genre: Bartok's 2nd. I wish she had recorded that; she doesn't record as soloist with orchestra any more. I never tire of this concerto, or this recording, so powerful and so rich and subtle in feelings, so complex in the interweaving of the instrumental voices, in that respect much like Bach.
Richard Salisbury Richard, there is only 1 Argerich. That said, there is an equally emotional, heart tugging performance from a 24 year old Olga Kern, recorded at the 2011 Cliburn. She was a co-gold medalist. The last 2-3 minutes will give you goose bumps. She was, at the time a very young mother, playing for her musical life. The 1st movement, considering the pressure, is practically flawless, one of the best 1st movements you'll ever hear. The reast is at the very same high level of musicianship.
Enjoy.
As for this, what a performance by both this magnificent orchestra, conductor, and the indomitable Martha Argerich.
Robert Jason Thanks much for the recommendation. I think I did listen to Olga Kern's performance, but probably only some of the first movement. I know I liked what I heard. I'll listen to the whole performance soon!
Robert Jason Sorry, that's 2001 Cliburn. A Typo, as usual.
Robert Jason thank you for the recommendation - I'm going to go and find it now too. I heard Federico Colli play this at the barbican earlier this year - he stepped in with literally 4 hours notice, and although he was not technically perfect, my god, the passion. i cried like a baby. But Argerich basically owns this in the end.
I watched Shine several years ago and soon felt love in Rach 3. I've almost listened all the other famous pianists' interpretation, but Argerich's is definitely my favorite one. Every time I listen to her Cadenza in the 1st movement and the beginning of the 3rd movement, I just feel that everything in front of eyes disappears and the only thing left is the shining music that makes me crazy!
..hoy ,Marta cumple 80 años, que viva muchos años mas para que los amantes de la música podamos seguir disfrutando de sus maravillosas interpretaciones.- Saludos desde Chile
¿Cuándo es "hoy"??? ¿En qué fecha cumple años Martha Argerich??? Por favor respondeme!!!

One of the most technically challenging pieces ever written, the Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30, composed in 1909 by Sergei Rachmaninoff. And masterfully played if I do say so myself. Exceedingly talented, this one.
Благодарю за возможность просмотра этого контента!Великолепное исполнение гениальной пианисткой одного из сложнейших во всех отношениях, фортепианного концерта!! Блестящая техника, виртуозность в этом исполнении сочетается с глубиной проникновения в содержание этой гениальной музыки! Великолепно выстроено единство формы и содержания!! Дирижёр вдохновенно руководил всем процессом исполнения! Оркестр был на высоте!! Это одно из лучших исполнений данного произведения!!!
29:25 - That arpeggio in the right hand, she plays it so gently quiet and yet fast, you can barely hear it. She instead brings up the lower melody and it just sounds so beautiful.
C'est toujours avec grand ravissement que j'écoute ce Rach3, interprété de façon grandiose par une grande Dame de la musique, Martha Argerich ...
I think it's the best performance of Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3 along with Horowitz. Her amazing technique is always amazing. I'm in awe of the stormy Cadenza. She is the best pianist of the 21st century.
Legendary. She simply slays this monster of a piece. Also, the camera focusing on the snare drum in the third mvmt cadenza while she’s cranking out those menacingly difficult triplet octaves in the left hand is an absolute crime.
😂
Agree-she has the most beautiful and gifted hands in the piano world.
I was a piano major in college, so I've played Rachmaninoff before, but I'll be working on this piece for the rest of my life.
Favorite recording of this work. She's amazing. The folks in the audience were not quite aware of what just unfolded, but it was ferocious romanticism. A jagged path from dark to light. Really well done.
What you see/hear here is what the Argerich legend was all about. She plays this crazy concerto with an almost nonchalant demeanor at dazzlingly consistent level of virtuosity all the way through with no apparent effort while maintaining a fabulous, essentially total artistic control at all times. Perhaps Michelangeli and Richter and Horowitz were in various ways better artists than this lady but this kind of control we see here with Martha without her working up any sweat, no, that was beyond all the three of them.
Yes, CarboKid - here's a woman for all seasons. What happened here was a fusion of passion and prowess. No fireworks or drama - I've never witnessed such a direct channelling of an understanding of a composition enabled by the physical capacity to do so. At times it felt as if she could have picked up the piano and played it like a bandoleon. It's rare that anyone appears to be able to defy the laws of physics. Each era replaces the old heroes with new but this is for all time. I think the Sergei Vasiievitch would have been astonished by this..
CarborundumKid i
CarborundumKid Indeed, indeed! You have expressed your observations perfectly. The command, the blinding brilliance, the astonishing ability to pull the music out of the piano through the legato passages. I imagine Rachmaninov would bow to her, her interpretation, even shed tears of joy and gratitude that she honored his composition by giving her all, every ounce of her heart and soul, mind and body to this performance.
Whenever I hear the name Rachmaninoff I see this... Argerich melting this concerto, her epic interpretation!
And let's face it, she was A LOT easier on the eyes than Richter or Horowitz😣
I just keep returning and listening! Her interpretation is so different then Rachmaninoff's which is with a perfect technique and telling his own story but she is using her technique differently and her interpretation is more alive and passionate which I am certain woke up all the orchestra to give the best. Bravo!
Ho sempre pensato ai concerti di Rachmaninov come a performance amorose, per cui fosse necessario un vigore maschio, virile, per "fare l'amore" col pianoforte. Invece la grandissima Martha mi fa ricredere. Esecuzione meravigliosa, emozione fortissima.
you know.... people like this should never die!!! Honestly ....I had the chance to see her twice on live.... It s exactly like that. Sorry .... Better. Cause you think the big sounds are some sort of speaker or technology but then no.... She speaks louder than the whole orchestra. Bravo
I keep returning to this video ever since it was uploaded. Absolutely sublime.
I know Martha no longer performs this concerto, but wouldn't it be amazing if she resurrected it for a Jubilee concert like Horowitz did at the age of 75. I would travel to any part of the world to see that!
Times up?
@@nathanieljasondemesa3135 for you maybe, not for her. she's still alive and kicking.
This Woman is just simply out of this planet .
This is the greatest performance I have ever seen of anything of the greatest piece of music I have ever known. Thank you so much for this magic, uploader, Argerich, Chailly, the orchestra and, of course, Rachmaninoff himself.
Masterful in every sense....Rachmaninoff, the genius...always will be my favorite!
Kudos to the amazing conductor and orchestra
Thank you Martha for sharing your music with us!
In my opinion, this music is such a marvel of humanity that I think this piece is on the top of greatness achieved by mankind on the line with the moon landing. This is just Breathtaking.
Completed on September 23, 1909 and perfected on December 5, 1982.
This is one of the great performances/collaborations of the twentieth century. There is no pianistic stone left unturned, and the conductor is doing a fantastic listening/juggling act. Martha is a phenomenon, a coloristic and pianistic genius. Somewhere, perhaps on a high astral plane, you might find another performance like this. It's almost Schumannesque in some of the timbres and voicings, and full of that rare nervous energy with which Martha brings. Can't say enough about it, really, speaking as a pianist. We'll let the so-called experts on Rachmaninoff and Russian music duke it out about whether it's enough in the Proto-Neo-Romantic Russian vein for THEM. When Argerich leaves us, we will have lost one of the greats.
Yes. It's also great. Would be hard to choose.
HABS SIGH
Totally right, there are absolutely no other performances like this one.
Her technique is formidable. Love her interpretation.
Hmm
Someone mentioned about there being no standing ovation; these were very rarer at the time this was recorded but I do take your point. This is an astonishing performance from both orchestra and conductor. I'm so glad it was captured on film and so grateful that we have it here to watch on RUclips. I wonder if anyone can find a finer version than this...? Utterly brilliant...
Curious that you didn't mention the pianist--a woman--whose interpretation and performance are nothing short of extraordinary.
Seth Auster-Rosen I wholeheartedly apologise. Martha Agerich is one of the world's finest pianists and I meant no disrespect to her at all. As I said in my 'review', I share your enthusiasm...!
ComposerInUK I think you would like to listen to Yefim Bronfman's performance, even though the video is a little fussy it doesn't take away from a magnificent performance. I think you will enjoy. I also like Olga Kern.
CONCUERDO CON UD ABSOLUTAMENTE BRILLANTE, BALSAMO PARA EL ESPIRITU Y MUY BUENO QUE LO TENGAMOS EN RUclips
suzanne kruys Thank you. I shall look it up. I like Olga Kern too and there are some very fine young players coming up but this is my favourite... so far! Thank you for the heads up. I don't need a strong push to listen again to this wonderful concerto.
I don't get enough of the 2nd movement. The D flat theme is one of the most romantic I've ever heard.
Rachmaninov : I bet nobody except me can play my concerto
Martha Argerich : Hold my beer -
Ah, beautiful comment!!! Yes, she can do it all!!!
She's from another place unkown 💆♂️
Prokofiev: I bet nobody including me can play Prok 2.
Martha Argerich: I am just going to drink my Chardonnay.
yeah and martha is most likely a better pianist he ever was, which is only normal since technique and ways to learn the piano are always evolving and shes top notch too
back then prob only a few would be able to play this, nowadays hundredths can
Martha Argerich: Hold my beer....I'm going to play it with hands half your size
Monumental execution of one of the most difficult page of piano and orchestral music. Without executors sceneggiata: only skills and correct author's interpretation. Thanks for loading.
Unadulterated perfection. Complete command. It’s almost beyond credibility that a human being could produce such a piece of work.
Neil
39:30 is all you need to see, that cheeky smile as she reaches the climbing passage of the release of the D Major passion after the moodiness of the entire piece, she knows this piece as it's supposed to be played.
From 33:10 to 34:33 is powerful. The nostalgia is palpable, almost as if the constant eye contact is a plea to remember. Overall, though she's a little heavy on the bravura at the expense of the 'little notes', the constant surprises in her inner voices make for wonderfully satisfying listening. Truly one of the giants.
Agree!
The best Rach 3 performance I've heard.
From to 7:59 to 9:31 is like a musical representation of a certain experience of human ecstasy and subsequent bliss.

Every time I hear this great performance, the tears flow and I get something else out of it. From 39:20 on she is positively making love to the piano, to the orchestra, to the music. If that's not a climax, I don't know what is. That's how the video in RUclips can add what a plain recording can't give you. Listen and watch again.

Every time I listen to this recording I always hear something new. Bravo Martha!
awe-inspiring! The turmoil within her that so obviously dominates the event is completely absent in her facial expressions. pure, genius, musical expression...
Felt like I watched a very dramatic movie. Thrilling, suspenful, triumphant and heroic in the end. Forgot to breathe at some points.. wonderful playing Can’t get enough!
I have heard it said that she is the greatest pianist in the world; I WOULD AGREE, over and over again; i listen to this piece with she and this conductor and orchestra since I discovered her; it hasn`t been a long time; but GOD gives me whatever time i have left on this planet, i will be listening to THIS piece into whatever journeys there are for me. THANK YOU MARTHA ARGERICH, RICARDO CHAILLY AND THE BERLIN RADIO ORCHESTRA.
My favorite recording of my favorite pianist playing my favorite concerto
I love her performance....Martha Argerich....She's just an another level!!!! I applaud for her passionate playing and delicacy with whole my heart.... We're so lucky to have this wonderful pianist of the 21st century.....I'm very thankful to listen it... Love Martha and Rachmaninoff!!! BRAVO! MUCH RESPECT!👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
No standing ovation?? Wow. Hard to please audience.
I have no idea how she committed that to memory.
Impressive....most impressive.
So true. This performance deserves at least 10 minutes of everyone in the audience giving a standing ovation.
maybe standing ovations weren't so commonplace in 1982. I go to the Philadelphia Orchestra and after every concert there's one, not only that, the performer is called back a minimum of 3 times to the stage, everytime. Only if the audience really likes him/her is (s)he called back a fourth time and performs an encore. so 3 has become the new 0.
I think the audience was too stunned to move. Undoubtedly the most intense and passionate interpretation of the Rach 3 played live that I have heard, at any rate.
My mother was a concert pianist of this caliber; 8 hours of practice a day and believe me, it's committed to memory. Even today, if she is listening to a piece, then goes to another task, when she returns, she expects the piece to resume, not where she left off, but where it would be had it not stopped--in other words, somewhere in her mind the piece continues, even if she's not hearing it. The mental training of a concert pianist develops very interesting areas of the brain.
Audrey Ahmann That's just crazy. 8 hours a day of practice, I believe it. I just started playing in January, and the more I learn, practice, and play, the more I can appreciate what an achievement a feat like this is.
It amazes me that stuff like this is even possible.
Best FEMALE pianist??? How about just best pianist - she is so amazing - she is as good or better than any male pianist - She is in the top 5 best in my book! Actually she is my favorite!
what about horowitz though?
Horowitz's Rachmaninoff 3rd Concerto is no comparison to Argerich. Horowitz unfortunately was sloppy and uneven, and even his earliest of the performances were not as polished and exciting as Argerich. His recording in the 1950s should have been one of the greats, and it is not. Horowitz was an uneven pianist who at his best was fantastic. But when not playing his best (Beethoven Appassionata for example), other pianists could outshine him not too rarely. His encores though were legendary and inspired many pianists after him, especially those of the past 30 years.
no my mother is the best XDXDXDXD
Yes I agree she's one of the best ever, and Chailly is not bad as well
Agreed! She is fantastic!!! I prefer her to Horowitz. I love when she plays Bach.
The stars were aligned for this one! Yes, of course, Martha is exquisite and Berliner (I am assuming) with maestro Chailly are magnificent and reliable as a sunrise. But the audio recording engineers were also critical in the success of this undertaking. Especially, the balance struck between Martha and the orchestra is so satisfying.
Great work!👏👏👏
she starts to become liquid gold, or platinum, or something otherworldly around 12 minute. So good. I am in the utmost admiration. Love this piece and this lady (and all in this performance.) Quite satisfying.
The phenomenon that is Martha Argerich. I'm so glad to be living in her time as a musician and pianist.
Such passion and fire in Martha's playing!! Have not heard anyone play the Rachmaninof 3 like her. Truly a masterpiece and if you're not moved by this performance then you can't be moved. ❤🎉❤🎉
All my respect for Martha......... she is great!
저렇게 파워풀하면서 표정 세상 평온....말도 안된다........
The best recording EVER!!!
IMO the definitive Rach 3 performance over the years. A lot of modern pianist (exemplified by the likes of Lang Lang) likes to add body movements, but just look at the execution of the most difficult passages of the first movement and the cadenza is where Martha really shines.
Posiblemente la interpretación mas bella que he escuhado de Rach 3, junto con la interpretación de Denis Matsuev. Simplemente es increible la interpetación de Martha y la orquesta, sin palabras. Que lindo empezar el 2022 escuchando esta maravilla!
Les consejo también la interpretación de Vladimir Horowitz, Rachmaninov cuando lo escucho dijo que así era como él se imaginaba su mismo concierto.
@@nicolaspachecoarangoRachmaninov y Horowitz eran a demás amigos...Quien mejor que este para interpretar el sentimiento de aquel!!...Aunque lo de Martha es sublime y poderoso!!...
By far the BEST Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto 3! I never get sick of listening to this! :)
This is my favourite piece of classical music, favourite female pianist and favourite charming conductor! Heavenly!
É a melhor interpretação de Rachmaninoff e a melhor pianista de sua época. É simplesmente magnífica.
Sono d'accordissimo con te
Among the few piano works that brings a tear to my eyes...
The more I watch this video - and I just can't stop watching it - the more I am convinced that this is the single greatest bravura performance in the history of the recorded music.
