Music reviews of Debut Recital / Martha Argerich

Music Review: If this isn't Genius, what is?
Rating: 5 Stars

Martha Argerich's performance of the Liszt is slowly gaining the recognition it deserves, as one of the greatest recordings of history, and not merely of the piano. One critic asked "How is it possible to play the piano this way?", and that nearly sums up the sense of stupefaction one feels on first encountering this radical interpretation, one of such delicacy, demonic technical prowess and overarching beauty that others seem stodgily unimaginative by its side.

Unlike all the other famous recordings -- those by Horowitz, Brendel, Pollini, Zimerman and Richter come to mind -- Argerich see this as sensual music, an uninterrupted flow of ideas, and her fingers are more than equal to any in the former group. Perhaps even more astonishing than her titanic octaves or spitfire arepggios are the slow moments: the final pages of the sonata are like a farewell, perfectly controlled, like someone waving ever more softly into the distance. In my view, this is by far the greatest version of the sonata to have appeared.

The remainder of the recital is magnificent, and one can only imagine the shock of its appearance, a nearly unknown girl from Argentina with a technique and ingrained musicality that would become the envy of all who heard her. The standouts are a high-voltage Liszt Sixth Rhapsody, with octave cascades that have never been bettered, a spiky, metallic rendering of a Prokofiev Toccata (a competition mainstay that sounds so often stilted) and, perhaps my favorite of the set, a Ravel Jeux D'Eau of exquisite refinement and tonal beauty. The Chopin pieces that fill out the recital are both excellent as well.

Without doubt, one of the great piano recordings.
