Martha Argerich - Tchaikovsky, Schumann: Piano Concertos (1996)

Posted By: tirexiss

That Martha Argerich is a powerhouse with heart is not a problem, it's a delight; that she can occasionally be rambunctious and a bit careless, on the other hand, can be a problem. On this recording, happily, the pluses are very much in evidence and the minuses nonexistent. She plays the Tchaikovsky with absolute abandon joined with a technical assuredness that is thrilling, and the fact that she gets through it almost error-free makes the breakneck experience all the more rewarding. The Schumann Concerto is hardly in the same league as the Tchaikovsky, but Argerich makes a superb case for it. She practically defines 19th-century romanticism in the way she puts real feeling into it–she finds stimulation where others have been lax and eloquence where others bore. The little pieces that round out the recording are most welcome, too–the Chopin is particularly gorgeous. Conductor Kord is a willing conspirator, and he's wise enough not to attempt to rein her in. This is a gem. – Robert Levine
