CD Reviews

Terrific!

"Martha puts heart and soul into her playing, and this is Beethoven like you never heard it before.That will displease the purists, but it's fine with me. This gal can make anything zing, from Bach to Bartok, and it won't be a cookie-cutter copy of what other folks are doing."
Interpretation makes all the difference

"The first and second piano concertos are far from being one of Beethoven's masterpieces. They are early works, still lacking the maturity achieved in the third piano concerto, for example. Even the great master recognized these youth pieces as minor components of his career. But this is what one can say about the music. What is important in this case is the interpretation. Miss Argerich transforms these pieces into amazing performances with one of the most beautiful and sensitive interpretations I have ever seen on record. Every note, every stroke is full of meaning and delicacy, wraped in a most feminine and subtle perspective. The orchestra, correctly conducted by Sinopoli is in the position where it is supposed to be in a situation like this: giving strong, sure support, building up a solid basis on top of which ms. Argerich can develop her work. A must have for any music fan. It will honour your collection."
