Imagine being a twenty-something world-renowned virtuoso... young, talented, beautiful... constantly battling anxiety, and eventually having a serious bout of depression... having three kids... defeating cancer.. yet still continuing to do what you love at a virtuosic level nearly 60 years later. This woman is an absolute gift.
Honestly, there's not much one can say. I'm a rock, pop, soul and blues man. It's been a great joy over the last few years to discover this lady. She's absolutely, almost impossibly great.
It's 2025 and I'm still listening to this. I will never stop loving this music and Martha. I love Chopin. Martha played perfectly and beautifully. Thank you Martha.
What a beautiful woman, what an extraordinary performance of this magnificent worrk of Chopin.. How very fortunate we are to have access to all this beautiful music and virtuosic rendition.on You Tube. This is what makes life worthwhile for me! Harry E W Smith, E.D., A.D.M. Dip Health Couns
Breathtaking in every possible way. The power, the delicacy, the nuance, the phrasing, the sense of architecture, the poetry, the passion, the absurdly sensational technique.
The exact opposite happened to me. I clicked on Rick's video just because it was about Martha. And now it's time for the algorithm to flood the recommendations with her videos... and I will watch them all again!!!
This statement. That's exactly how I feel about her, specifically with her Chopin scherzo performances. I've never seen someone lash out so gracefully. I am of the staunch belief that there isn't a pianist alive that plays Chopin's scherzos better. I love her in other Chopin works but there's something magical about her scherzo performances that I've never heard any other pianist come close to matching.
@@mc3newsmcocconcierge504 Martha indeed plays them with reckless abandon, airily, delicately, lightly, perhaps as wood sprites would play them - hard to put into words... Whimsically is a good one. Like when you play Polichinelle, you try to be a mischievous as the clown himself. But when I listen to a work of Chopin to see how people play it, Cortot is the one I always look for first. He is "rubato limit" so to speak - but it's more than that. I can't speak for all Martha's Chopin but I'll bet you are spot on with her Scherzo's. I'd also like to hear Zlata Chohieva's Scherzo's but it appears there aren't any on youtube. Z's Rach Etudes-Tableau are stunning and magical.

My wife and I have bought tickets to multiple concerts of hers, even traveled to Singapore on one occasion, only to have her cancel at the last minute. I guess we'll have to settle for listening to her recordings. What sets her apart from others is that no matter how many times I listen to her recording, it never fails to move me emotionally. Even though I know what's coming, I always hear a fresh hidden layer in her playing. I don't blame her for the frequent cancellations: she bares her soul every time she's on stage, so if she doesn't feel inspiration, she won't waste your time by giving a formulaic performance.
@@haminguyen9598 hi i meant she could do it all without the excessive body movements and overly dramatic facial expression. None of the over the top physical movements that might not actually help the music. Hope my explanation helps! 😊
Argerich's performances from the 1966 competition are one of the reasons I really like RUclips. I might never have come across them otherwise. Plus it's a great platform to share my own music.
I am looking for a vídeo of her. I used to see it once in a while for years. Now i cant find it. It was deleted i gess. She performs a chopin piece in less than 1 minute, super fast, she has a red dress and is old video
Martha has brought this piece to life for me. And she did it only 3 years after I was born! It is a shame that I didn't discover this performance much earlier in my life. Incredible talent! Dare I say...incomparable? AND, WHO ARE THESE THAT DISLIKED THIS ? There is no doubt in my mind that their decision to "dislike" this performance was due most certainly to being overcome with a shade of green the likes of which could not be easily cast aside, and which has illuminated them like a spotlight on a stage.
From the way she played the first bar I already knew it was going to be perfect. Personally, it is my favourite recording of it. She played with so much passion. So much dynamic variation.
Spectacular emotional dynamics... I've watched this over the years and again, it draws me in to watch it all. And this time, again, an emotion. I'm not dead yet. Marth is exquisite.
What an exceptional pianist ! Plus, this scherzo is perfectly suited to her temperament: the reflective sections do not need anything else than sheer desolation and the virtuoso parts are also the ones where Martha Argerich's passion is allowed to flare up... Thanks for posting and regards from France
I vehemently disagree. Her fast tempo glosses over all the emotional content Chopin labored over. Rubenstein and Zimmerman both used a tempo which embodied the scherzo (though Rubenstein muddled the notes a bit) whereas Argerich flagrantly speeds over chords which require a pianist's full attention. You and others say that this performance reflects Argerich's personality which is a dreadful insult to Argerich considering the piece's quality. Ultimately this pieces appears to be some sort of contorted satire!
I love Martha not because she’s so beautifully talented at music,but because she’s so humble giving the signals out to her wonderful gift that she shares with the world ❤Thank you so much Martha
He may have written for the piano alone, but he changed completely how piano music was made and in this sense he really does rank among the most important composers of classical music.
My, who knew Argerich was such a beauty in her day! A beautiful woman playing beautiful music beautifully: is there anything so aesthetically overwhelming?
Thank you, mmoynan for downloading this fabulous performance by Martha Argerich. I am so glad that I have the pleasure of listening to this. Her performance in on par with my favorite pianist, Aurthur Rubinstien of this piece.
So I have been watching vids of the pure gangster genius of Martha Argerich for a while and only followed Rick Beato recently. Absolutely delighted when he featured her and what a rare gift she truly is to humanity. ❤️ I hope more people appreciate classical music because of that
I as well. Unless Rick had introduced me to this virtuoso, I would not known of her. And I follow classical music! My fav of late is Lang Lang, but this woman is just amazing.
The best pianist alive (and perhaps ever) performing this. Martha was as good as legend say. Whether or not this is "the best" version is really another question but her technical interpretation is beyond reproach. Notes are crystal clear, tempo is perfect and she does not over peddle. Where I consider the most difficult parts of the piece 4:40 and 6:20 stretch (most mortals slow down) where she maintains her tempo. Bravo.
Renovar Wwis Agree!, at last we can hear the velocity, tempo and rythm like we want at the 4.40 min (the part i like the most) , making very clearly the Bass melody. Never found anyone else like that.
I like it if it were played slower(But that's my opinion). And it's a difficult part, but I don't know if it's the hardest. I've seen people play much harder things.
@renovar Wwis when she goes she goes! Those leggiero passages are outstanding and that speed, with such accuracy and melodoldy in the left hand. The sempre con fuoco is played with such fire 🔥 plus there's chords unspread of 9ths in the left hand (4th line onwards) at that pace is masterful. My favorite is the last 58 bars how she comes down to a pianisamo for the arpeggiated Fmaj7 to Aflat major. Lush!
Que seria de nosotros sin esos virtuosos de la música; no lo puedo imaginar; a través de ellos descubrimos sensaciones inimaginables,y Martha Argerich recibió ese Don Divino.........
Марта Аргерих пианистка высочайшего класса.И хотя это старая запись 1966г., Марта прекрасна,и душой, и телом.У неё на лице всё написано,всё то ,что она чувствует. Шопен прозвучал настолько вдохновенно и выразительно, что остаётся только сказать БРАВО!!!
Utterly magnificent. She is to the piano as Dupre was to the cello....and both were contemporaries. I wonder if they every met? Greatness is as greatness is.
Martha's interpretation of Frederik Chopin is magnificent ! The best compliment I can give Martha Argerich is that Artur Rubinstein, who plays the best Chopin ever, would be amazed by the way she plays this beautiful scherzo.
Her dexterity and technical brilliance is unmatched. I've played this piece myself, and while her interpretation is admirable in of in itself, it is the perfect mastery she has over her fingers that gives a fire to her performance.
MARTA ARGERICH avvenente ,la piu' grande pianista dell'eta' moderna per tecnica insuperabile ed interpretazione perfettissima.CIAO BELLISSIMA MARTA,errico.
Come on! More colorful beautiful piano sound than Argerich=Emil Gilels Wilhelm Kempff Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Argerich=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Stanislav Bunin! More powerful louder than Argerich=Mikhail Pletnev(Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The Second Loudest ever was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi! Horowitz his technique better than Argerich's technique!
How Martha can play this complex piece from memory amazes me. Such perfection to boot. I certainly believe Martha was a match for Horowitz in skill, touch and interpretation. Her approach is feminine and delicate yet strong and forceful where called for. What a great treat to hear her perform.
memory has literally nothing to do with anything. anyone who compliments someone’s memory is missing the point slightly. memory is the first and easiest part of learning a piece
@@luchethegreat3482 Not for me it wasn't! The technical and interpretative demands of getting this up to concert standard came first; the memory more or less just happened along the way!
@@TimFatchen that’s what i’m saying ? lol, the memory doesn’t matter. it happens on its own. but in my opinion it usually happens first, because it makes honing the details of the piece much easier when you already know the notes and the finger placement. like i said it’s the easiest part
A vingt-cinq ans ! Peut on imaginer le miracle qu'était cette jeune femme !!!! Et à quatre-vingt ans bientôt, elle reste au sommet ... Merci , Madame Argerich pour votre talent unique , tout ce bonheur que vous donnez à votre public !
Mon cher ami et tendre , tu jouais ce morceau avec tant de ferveur, tu étais sur la voie de la réussite mon cher a mon coeur... Je suis bouleversé par ta disparition subite, la vie t'as arraché a ta passion ....le piano... Paix a ton âme j'espère que tu es avec Chopin et tout les autres la haut.....R.I.P
Listen , when Chopin wrote these extravaganza's. Piano's weren't made as pianos are manufactured in the last 60 years or so today and what's more, writing in the freezing cold and damp weather conditions Give credit when do. Who in the hell knows how his music sounded 180 years ago. Every pianist has his/her own interpretation as closely as can be followed according to the music read.

I concur.Absolutely correct.
She started playing piano at the age 3 so she really grew with music, as she matured was always there and that for 80 years.
Do .
It's difficult to find enough positive things to say about her, her music, and her career. She's extraordinary.

And she got better with age. Genius.
To play so beautifully….but make it look as easy as breathing. Truly amazing!🥰

To remover is the easiest thing, playing with such a passion is hatd
@@nicolaspachecoarango I agree but at 80 years old surely it must be more difficult to remember hundreds of pieces

Yes, but being gifted alone doesn’t make you this good. It takes an unimaginable amount of effort and dedication.
@@matttondr9282 Very true, hours and hours everyday of practice.

might i add - a breathtaking, stunning performance ...I fully agree with you Judith - I love Chopin, and this is as good as I've heard, ever !!
as many times as I listen to her, at any age, playing anything, I just sit there, mouth open , agast, and amazed.
Oh Martha! Martha....
I hope that one day we'll both make it to heaven after we pass, then I'll listen to your music for eternity!
Unequalled technique and interpretation. How could there possibly be dislikes on this?!

impressive physical coordination and stirring tunes - like chariots of fire
So beautiful, I love Chopin, and this piece is incredible! I love your performance, I could listen to this all day. Bravo!!
I am so glad she still performs today and is still quite wonderful!!
3:15-3:34 I wasn’t expecting that. So Beautiful!
What an amazing person. Just amazing. Thank you, Rick Beato for sharing this gift from God.
How can anyone not love this.
I know right?
Never practices scales. Doesn't sight read and plays everything from memory.
Beyond extraordinary and likely the greatest pianist in history.
He may have written for the piano alone, but he changed completely how piano music was made and in this sense he really does rank among the most important composers of classical music.
He also wrote for cello
You must have been polish in previous life,you can feel Chopin's music as he did,I always admire your performances,God bless and thanks!
