Free Music Review: Argerich amazes again!
Hit: 5 Stars
Like many, I bemoan the fact that Martha Argerich hasn't been doing any solo recitals or making any solo recordings for quite sometime now. In fact, she has eschewed the recording studio altogether, preferring to release only live concerto & chamber recordings. We can, however, take great solace in the fact that these live recordings, particularly those from the Lugano Festival, have been absolutely brilliant, this present release being no exception. These performances were recorded at the 2006 edition of the festival, where we hear Argerich at her dazzling best. The Shostakovich Piano Concerto #1 finds the virtuoso pianist offering a stunning performance of this challenging Russian masterpiece, with able accompaniment given by the Orchestra Della Svizzera Italiana, under the baton of Alexander Vedernikov.
While the concerto is sheer brilliance, the real highlight on this cd is a captivating perfomance of the Shostakovich Piano Quintet in G-minor, Op.57. Argerich's technique is simply beguiling, aided by a live recorded sound that is quite sharp & focused. All the artists in the quartet that assists her are top-notch as well, with particular mention going to long-time collaborator, cellist Mischa Maisky. What a fabulous player he is, and what wonderful music these two icons of classical performance always seem to make together.
This cd is yet another highmark in the astounding career of the amazing Martha Argerich, and it will increase admirably a reputation that has already reached beyond the stratosphere. Don't hesitate to add these otherworldly performances to your cd collection.
