Martha Argerich – Piano Concertos (Vinyl LP)

First of two LP releases devoted to the legendary Martha Argerich, the first being a best of her concertos recordings, the second a best of her solo piano & chamber music albums (a day after her 84th anniversary). The term ‘living legend’ is genuinely apt for Martha Argerich, whose dazzling amalgam of virtuosity, insight, eclecticism, generosity and mystery makes her a pianist of unrivalled fascination. Argentinian-born, Viennese-trained, and winner of the 1965 Chopin Competition, she became a sometimes elusive figure whose every appearance and recording aroused eager anticipation.
