For many many years Ravel's Concerto in G major has remained one of my favorite all time compositions. Few can rival Margaret's performance of this beautiful piece.
This piece always shocks me when I hear it. Particularly the opening movement. It's so delicious - the impressionism and jazzy qualities all wrapped up in one. It's divine.
Phyllis Petras I’m not sure he would actually, Ravel was one of those composers that claimed that a performer is supposed to be a slave of what’s written in the score (or what does the composer exactly demand)
Phyllis Petras I know I love it...i never heard it till just now. My dad (age 95) told me about it in a Skype conversation this evening and I am listening for the first time. This is what the internet is good for...passing on appreciation of music from one generation to the next in seconds, with a recording of the music.
I am a classically trained vocalist, did some Ravel, rhythmically challenging. As an old timer I have been working piano consistently over the past decade. I have seen Martha on other videos. Her rendering here seems "out of this world;" hard to believe had we not witnessed it. Yes, virtuosic display, various finger trills, weight and lightness, but here is where it all hangs: Her work is always expressive with clear nuance shadings, her internal vision and plan taking shape in the music. She dispatches the most difficult passages imaginable, superhuman speed with perfect clarity, with seldom a hair out of place, despite huge energy used. She always looks relaxed, quietly confident, contained, movement economy and "strong" and is having fun, like a friendly saunter to the mailbox where you meet a good neighbor. We get an occasional restrained smile, a big peek into her inner complexity and infinite depth. I can't imagine she would be hard to work with, rather a solid foundation to build around. Marvel, marvel! Did I just see her do that? Yeah again and again, never exactly the same way twice. Loved, "impressionism and jazz" in one work comments. As I said: "Out of this world, a unique snowflake who has given us these incomparably fresh gifts. With her, it's always real. I see her as a very humble and proper person, with sophistication galore. You go, girl! What a legacy! David Miller
I went to Teatro Colon 🇦🇷 a couple of days ago and witnessed Marta play this incredible piece from Ravel. During the adagio I could not contain my tears 🥲
I normally make a point of not listening to other performances of a piece when I am preparing for a concert, but Argerich in this is the exception to the rule! Her slow movement is heaven. She makes me feel excited for how much there is still to learn in the next 50 years.
I feel I am witnessing something holy here. Listening to Martha play this indescribably beautiful piece of music, which I adore, I am taken to another place, a beautiful place. The Adagio assai, it is such a tender, special, lovely thing. I feel that there is an element to it that expresses something heartbreaking, mysterious, unspoken. God bless you, Maurice Ravel, and Martha Argerich. Immense gratitude for your tremendous and loving gift to us.
Merci madame Martha Argérich...................merci encore d'exister en ce monde qui nous porte encore dans c"est 'La' présense...........................milles mercis
The second movement is a place only known by me, a hidden place, and if you try to locate it, it is gone. Because it is only a place wanted , and therefore a place not able to go to. But I have some Martha Argerich - friends out there. Perhaps they will help me.
Funny you say this as to me this second movement always makes me think about going on a long journey and finally coming home. And home is more than the place where you live. Home in a way is a secret place in your heart, mind an soul
@@pollekem6459 , beautiful, too! Argerich's recording inspires such poetry as yours and Staffan's! Thanks! We need more of this in the world! What a gift!
Fabulous Martha! For me, though, the absolute best adagio of this piece is played by a prodigiously young Seong-Jin Cho with the Berlin Phil, Sir Simon Rattle. (Many years later).
She is sensitive ! She needs to remain under the intensity of the flute, not to overpower the flute, therefore she checks how soft she should play to leave the flute enough room ! It is a sensitive act
My father was madly in Love with Martha, once we went to see her in Buenos Aires and he was literally shaking . He once shared this piece of music with us and was the most beautiful gift ever a father can give to their children. I never get tired of this Adagio .
how wonderful! I attended yesterday the dress rehearsal of this concerto in Vienna (with Vienna Phil) and met afterwards by chance people from Gran Canaria who came to Vienna to listen to Martha. I showed them the artists entrance ... you can't believe how happy they have been. music connects ...

I’m quite obsessed with first trumpeter at #0:34. I’ve listened to several recordings of this piano concerto but seriously, he’s the one who nailed it.
Judging from construction it's seems like cornet instead of trumpet to me. Cornets have mellower sound compared to trumpet. And of course this cornetist played really well, one of the best renditions.
If Ms. Argerich played the 3rd movement any faster, she would get a speeding ticket. Impressive considering that nothing of the accuracy and intent of the piece is sacrificed in the process. Absolutely masterful.
Late to the party but surely you will agree that 20:29 lack polish and character… it’s sped up very unnecessarily and delivers nothing but a technical marvel
The dialogue between the oboe and piano in the adagio is one of the saddest passages I've ever heard. The rest of the concerto is beyond praise as well. What a feast for the spirit.
tiene apenas 92 años recien cumplidos esta maravillosa obra de Ravel. Cada musico ha estudiado años enteros para sacarle sonido a su instrumento. La orquesta a ensayado muchas horas para dar lo mejor de si en el concierto. Hoy cuando la musica que suena esta formada por uno o dos acordes repetitivos, con sonidos sampleados y cantantes (que no cantan sino que son afinados por el autotune) yo me pregunto: esta evolucionando la humanidad? o estamos involucionando!. Dime si crees que se valora el merito hoy en dia? Merito a ensayar con un instrumento horas, dias, semanas, estudiar y perfeccionarse? Tal vez cuando Ravel estreno la obra muchos la hubiesen tratado de demasiado moderna. Hoy seguro muchos diran que no se compara con obras de Mozart o Beethoven... pero yo creo que Ravel con su obra aporta muchisimo a la musica actual y que si nos dejamos llevar. luego escucharemos parte de su influencia en grandes bandas sonoras de las mejores peliculas y otras tantas obras contemporaneas. Siempre se dice que los viejos pensamos en que todo tiempo pasado fue mejor. Perdonen que los haga reflexionar y me diga alguien si al menos en relacion a la musica esto que digo no es asi? Me gustaria volver en el tiempo y decirle a Ravel sencillamente: GRACIAS MAESTRO!
Note how, whenever a woodwind soloist has the chief melody in the slow movement, Ms. Argerich *listens* to the player as intently as if she had never heard the music before. That is pure class. I can think of a certain much-ballyhooed pianist (male) who, in concertos, had only the vaguest discernible awareness of - and no interest in - the fact that an orchestra was even on the stage.
15:00 just tell me how much you guys been suffered ? I lost a person who was my friend, my brother, my father and my mentor. Because of pandemic, I couldn't attend his funeral and I miss him so much so much every second.
Stay strong. Time will help - think about their memories and how they shaped the person you are now. Doing so you will make them immortal because they live in your character and actions every single day.
Martha Argerich - is a great musician, she has a brilliant technique, virtuosity in the highest sense of the word, an amazing sense of form, the architectonics of a piece of music. But most importantly, the pianist has a rare gift to breathe a lively and direct feeling into the work she performs. . .🙏🙏🙏
High praise words fail us because of she 'breathes a lively and direct feeling into her work, only spiritual uplift." Every ingredient in the right proportion, giving a delicious recipe and final blended product.
Ravel was in the upper tier of greats, a non-pareiled orchestrator. But does anyone else sense that Ravel was familiar with Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue of six years earlier?
After hearing Ravel's string quartet(honestly one of the greatest pieces of music ever written) I decided to dive deeper into his music. The man was a genius. Its almost as if every instrument is one I don't know how else to describe it.
Ravel was born in 1875 and, among other tutors, studied composition with Gabriel Fauré. His music is markedly influenced by Claude Debussy (caring more about the mood and the atmosphere than about a rigid structure), but also by Mozart, Liszt and Strauss. His style, however, is deeply impressionistic, coupled with exceptional talent. His best known and most publicized work is Bolero, although the Menuet Antique, ouverture Schéhérazade, Gaspar de la Nuit, Daphnis and Chloé(ballet), Waltzes Nobles et Sentimentables, Concerto en Sol Majeur, etc. are largely appreciated. The concerto musically diverges and converges in a harmonious way.The pianist in her interventions periods is magnificent. The orchestra and direction are superb. The music diverges and converges in a harmonious way. The pianist in his periods of intervention is magnificent not only in the sentiment that transmits but also for her extraordinary technique. The music leads us to antagonistic states of soul, intervening moments of profound calm with others that introduce some deeply inner insecurity. This masterpiece is unique and only an amazing musician could compose it.
This is a fabulous performance of Ravel's Concerto in G Mag by Martha Argerich. I have heard many other performances of it. I was eight years old when I first heard this piece on a recording performed by Nicole Henriot-Schweitzer. I was in love with it since. I did learn the second movement on my own as a teen and struggled with parts of the first movement and last movement. I never learned it all, but it was fun practicing it.
Ah, the name Nicole Henriot-Schweitzer! Heard her play with the San Francisco Symphony in the 50's (Liszt: Piano Concerto #1) and even had a recording by her. Great artist!!!! Thanks for bring up her name: a blast from the past!
Oh, I love that recording & had it for a while. I played the concerto when I was 18 w orchestra, great fun! I feel in love w it when I was 15. Several years ago it was the chosen concerto for the Juilliard piano concerto auditions.
Such an emotionally charged performance of the second movement, contrary to the passionate powerful playing of the first and the third. Every note is ALIVE in her playing!
According to Howard Pollack, Gershwin biographer, this Ravel concerto was influenced by Gershwin. They met in the late 1920s and the much older Ravel admired Gershwin's work and jazz in general. Interesting.
En écoutant l'adagio assai je suis transporté dans le monde lointain de mon enfance. Quelle nostalgie! Le dialogue du cor anglais avec le piano est magnifique. Tant de beauté pour illuminer la grisaille de nos pauvres vies. Maurice Ravel toujours.
Argerich ist für mich die empfindsamste Interpretin Ravels Pianowerke, die jedoch die vollkommene Neutralität vermittelt, damit die wahre Botschaft seiner Musik sich entfallten kann und den Herzen der Zuhörer zu erreichen vermag! Herzlichen Dank für diese historische Aufnahme!
So interesting to see she has changed so much in her speed. She purposely decides to take this slower than before and it sounds even more beautiful! She is still in a search❤️
Live or vdeo xperiencing her no limits playing, I refuse to listen to Ravel Piano concerto by Anybody Else as everybody will be less than Marta. Adagio is a masterpiece itself. Ravel should be Happy to know who personified Him!
One of the best Piano Concerto performance, both Ms. Argerich and the Orchestra played so well and flawlessly, and the recording quality is so good too.
Thanks Euroarts for posting this ! This is one of the most sensitive pieces I have ever heard in my whole life and how sensitive Martha is playing it, is unbelievable !
Really like this piece. How could a piece to be so wild and so delicate at the same time ! I really like the pianist, her playing is so strong, delicate and charming.
When I heard this piano concerto for the first time, I didn't find it very special. Then I heard it a second time two years ago, this time with Argerich, and it was all very different. Especially the Adagio, which she played much more gently, more mysteriously, 8 years later than we get to hear here, was like something from another universe. Since then I know what magic Argerich can create.
There is an even better one in the second movement of Bartòk 2. I heard it for the first time played by Jerry Lowenthal when I was a teenager and have never forgotten it. That was 60 years ago.
Never been a fan of the piano. On it, only enjoyed weird or jazz scales or insanely fast playing - such as this. For all that is worth, this is a hell of a composition and a HELL of a performance. I can't imagine how hard must it be - it looks absolutely fucking insane for a layman, let alone someone who has a clue of what's going on! Yup, definitely topples Moonlight Sonata as my favorite piano frenzy.
For many many years Ravel's Concerto in G major has remained one of my favorite all time compositions. Few can rival Margaret's performance of this beautiful piece.
This piece always shocks me when I hear it. Particularly the opening movement. It's so delicious - the impressionism and jazzy qualities all wrapped up in one. It's divine.
Ravel would love it!!!
Phyllis Petras I’m not sure he would actually, Ravel was one of those composers that claimed that a performer is supposed to be a slave of what’s written in the score (or what does the composer exactly demand)
ok no one asked...
and the information is wrong

I am a classically trained vocalist, did some Ravel, rhythmically challenging. As an old timer I have been working piano consistently over the past decade. I have seen Martha on other videos. Her rendering here seems "out of this world;" hard to believe had we not witnessed it. Yes, virtuosic display, various finger trills, weight and lightness, but here is where it all hangs: Her work is always expressive with clear nuance shadings, her internal vision and plan taking shape in the music. She dispatches the most difficult passages imaginable, superhuman speed with perfect clarity, with seldom a hair out of place, despite huge energy used. She always looks relaxed, quietly confident, contained, movement economy and "strong" and is having fun, like a friendly saunter to the mailbox where you meet a good neighbor. We get an occasional restrained smile, a big peek into her inner complexity and infinite depth. I can't imagine she would be hard to work with, rather a solid foundation to build around. Marvel, marvel! Did I just see her do that? Yeah again and again, never exactly the same way twice.
Loved, "impressionism and jazz" in one work comments.
As I said: "Out of this world, a unique snowflake who has given us these incomparably fresh gifts. With her, it's always real. I see her as a very humble and proper person, with sophistication galore.

This is greatest modern piano concerto written.
Well, maybe I agree xD
For me Prokofiev 2

What about the 3rd? The Ra- composers are certainly amazing.
@@eliter7991 yeah Rach #2 is probably better
She's always going to be the very Queen of the piano!...
This is just sheer beauty
I agree! It is definitely one of Ravel's best and most innovative pieces ever ^^
Simply sublime.
i'd say there's also spooookiness and joy 😊

They just had to play together so they looked at each other to make it clear
Or she thought his vibrato was off

@@mori-patte I'm sorry in no way is that a cornet I know this cause I'm a clarinetist and that is a C trumpet
If Ms. Argerich played the 3rd movement any faster, she would get a speeding ticket. Impressive considering that nothing of the accuracy and intent of the piece is sacrificed in the process. Absolutely masterful.
It's too fast .. the listener cannot follow the music anymore when so speeded up
character is highly sacrified
Late to the party but surely you will agree that 20:29 lack polish and character… it’s sped up very unnecessarily and delivers nothing but a technical marvel
Yup, that sums it up.🙃
She was a regular Oscar Peterson speed demon in that mvmt.
I love how free this Concerto sounds. Each instrument speaks for itself.
Miguel Fontes Meira haha, democracy in real
that second movement.. it's another universe of greatness
how can a humans be capable of expressing so much beauty, its unbelievable. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Practice and talent 😊
The dialogue between the oboe and piano in the adagio is one of the saddest passages I've ever heard. The rest of the concerto is beyond praise as well. What a feast for the spirit.
The oboe? Or the English horn? 🤔
Cor Anglais
This is one of the most beautifully-directed classical music videos I've seen. The dreamy direction fits the music perfectly. And the music is divine.
I agree! That "fade to black" (4:47) using the side of the Steinway and then to the harp solo was inspired.

If you had to get one pianist to play for your life, my choice would be Argerich. This is just exceptional musicianship
I'm afraid I'd go with Sviatoslav Richter. His grace on the keyboard was pure magic.
@vincejamison2401 Ah yes, but he's dead :)

That's the ironic thing about music like this,it brings up so much sadness and longing in us,yet we are drawn to it.
Not to detract from her beautiful playing, but her hair is quite stunning XD I love it
I always pull Martha up as a stellar example of how someone can age so beautifully
I can't picture Martha Argarich sitting in a salon getting her hair colored with those little tinfoil things.

テルミカーノフの指揮も変幻自在に弾き進めるアルゲリッチに調和し素晴らしい音楽世界を構築していきます。映像も第２楽章の終結部分細かなトリルと左手の終止音に連なる手の動きをクローズアップするなど映像美としても感心させられました。
She is singing a melody with one hand and accompanying herself with the other. That Adagio would make a puddle of even the most cold-hearted among us.
I'm hoping it will convert some people I know into listening to classical music.

this part is so groove 7:33, very rhythmic, she's doing it flawlessly and you can really feel the percussion side of the piano
What a bandit Ravel was! Hiding the shiv of melancholy between two bawdy pieces. So good.
"The Shiv of Melancholy" I like that.
20:25 is by far the most fun spot of the entire Presto. I swear it makes me smile everytime, you can tell at this point Ravel was just having fun.
To me it kinda sounds like an upside down flight of the bumble bee

Ravel called Bolero '"Orchestration without music". It's funny how often composers are best known for minor works.
Heavily influenced by Gershwin

Herzlichen Dank für diese historische Aufnahme!
So interesting to see she has changed so much in her speed. She purposely decides to take this slower than before and it sounds even more beautiful! She is still in a search❤️
Live or vdeo xperiencing her no limits playing, I refuse to listen to Ravel Piano concerto by Anybody Else as everybody will be less than Marta.
Adagio is a masterpiece itself. Ravel should be Happy to know who personified Him!
The Pianist for the first two movements: *Totally calm*
Her for the third movement: "Hold my beer"
Honestly this lady is incredible
lolololololol
One of the best Piano Concerto performance, both Ms. Argerich and the Orchestra played so well and flawlessly, and the recording quality is so good too.
Thanks Euroarts for posting this ! This is one of the most sensitive pieces I have ever heard in my whole life and how sensitive Martha is playing it, is unbelievable !
Really like this piece. How could a piece to be so wild and so delicate at the same time !
I really like the pianist, her playing is so strong, delicate and charming.
Ce deuxième mouvement... Juste absolument merveilleux
When I heard this piano concerto for the first time, I didn't find it very special. Then I heard it a second time two years ago, this time with Argerich, and it was all very different. Especially the Adagio, which she played much more gently, more mysteriously, 8 years later than we get to hear here, was like something from another universe. Since then I know what magic Argerich can create.
I’ve just got to add that the gorgeous adagio is capped by one of the longest & most exacting keyboard tremolo (trill?) in the musical literature.
There is an even better one in the second movement of Bartòk 2. I heard it for the first time played by Jerry Lowenthal when I was a teenager and have never forgotten it. That was 60 years ago.
Never been a fan of the piano. On it, only enjoyed weird or jazz scales or insanely fast playing - such as this. For all that is worth, this is a hell of a composition and a HELL of a performance. I can't imagine how hard must it be - it looks absolutely fucking insane for a layman, let alone someone who has a clue of what's going on! Yup, definitely topples Moonlight Sonata as my favorite piano frenzy.
