Editorial Reviews

Product description

Amazon.com

This is madness in action. Martha Argerich's Rachmaninoff Third is the fastest and most physically exciting you'll ever hear. She's recorded live, and the balances are a little strange as a result. You can also tell that Riccardo Chailly and his orchestra are having a hell of time trying to keep up with her, while anticipating what she's about to do next--but so what? This is as close as you can come to an experience of spontaneous combustion, and survive. The Tchaikovsky is, if possible, even wilder, with quite a few missed notes. But with an artist like Argerich, you simply can't judge the performance one note at a time. So go ahead: live dangerously. --David Hurwitz

Exciting Russian concertos

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024

Verified Purchase

These are fantastic live performances from February 1980 (Tchaikovsky) and December 1982 (Rachmaninov)! My favorite classical pianists are Richter and Pollini, but Argerich plays incredibly here with fine orchestral accompaniment. I have been listening to this incessantly since picking it up recently!

It's great to hear Soviet Russian conductor Kirill Kondrashin leading the SBR (Symphonie-Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks).

Bryce Morrison marvels in the liner notes at Argerich's "inimitable touch of wildness, of untamed magnetism and charisma."

Indeed!

Can't be played any better than this!

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2011

Verified Purchase

I first heard Martha Argerich live in a recital in the early sixties when she was starting her career. The memory of Bach's Partita No.6 still fresh in my mind. It was clear then that she would soon join the ranks of the greatest pianists of all time. However,I never became one o her true fans since often I disliked her tendency to nervous, urgent and extremely fast tempos. I like my music to breathe and this lady wouldn't give any breaks. My local classical radio station plays her Tchaikovsky 1 and been the stupid collector that I am (What, do I have at least 20 versions of the Tchaikovsky?),and since it came with the Rachmaninov third that makes a lot of people go crazy, I knew I had to get it! Both these concertos can't be played any better than this, period. My only complaint is that these are live recordings and while you supposedly have as a benefit the emotion of her white hot performances, I would have preferred a studio recording with the piano a little more in front of the orchestra. As it is, some of her marvelous playing at the lower end of the instrument is difficult to hear. The Rachmaninov (1982)is the uncut version and Chailly and the RSO Berlin give her great support, although you can tell they are not in the top tier of the world leading orchestras. Better still is the Bavarian Radio S.O. with the great Kondrashin in the Tchaikovsky (recorded in 1980). The Bavarian orchestra is a real joy to listen to, been nowdays as good or even better than the Berlin Phil. So this is a record that any classical piano devotee has to have.
Competition in this field is tremendous,in the uncut Rachmaninov you will do well with the historic Van Cliburn/Kondrashin;Vasary/Aronovitch;Gabrilov/Muti; and recently Ansdnes/Berglund? In the abridged version Orozco/De Waart and Wild/Horenstein are supreme. In the Tchaikovsky I always return to Gilels/Mehta and the old Serebriakov/Mravinsky(Westminster LP vynil)if you can find it! Don't waste any time (as I did) to get this CD before Phillips (or whatever company owns them) decides to throw it out of the catalogue, to make room for some Lang Lang stuff.

Argerich's performances are electric. The only thing keeping me giving this four stars is the recording itself. Some of the orchestra sounds waaaay in the distance. Couldn't the recording hear that?

Exceptional performances . . .

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

These are truly two of the most exciting performances of these concertos available on CDs. The competition, IMHO, for the Rachmaninoff is the Horowitz/Ormandy/Philadelphia Orchestra performance of the Rach 3 at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor (recorded live with a hand held cassette recorder in 1978). The sound, as you would expect, is not the best but the performance is stunning and has historic facets as both Ormandy and Horowitz knew and worked with Rachmaninoff. Indeed, Horowitz remarked that this was his best ever performance of this piece. On YouTube, search for Horowitz/Ormandy in Ann Arbor and the performance will pop up. For the Tchaikovsky, Argerich's main competition is Emil Gilels with Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic, a live performance available on a Sony Essential Classics CD.

One of the finest classical recordings I own

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

Martha Argerich is electric. I don't know how she does this but she attacks the keyboard with all the ferocity and intensity as a heavy metal guitarist but somehow manages to balance it with the eloquence, finesse and balance that allows the emotion to come through clearly without running away from the orchestra. I think it is at times an uneasy balance. But is a balance nonetheless. I think the reason this CD works for me so well is that it tells the story of this music and makes it come to life. It also reminds me that there are deep waters of emotion that run through this music and I love listening to this CD. This was my introduction to Martha Argerich and I have bought quite a few of her CDs because of this one. All are quite good, but none so far have matched this one, let alone beat it. Desert Island material.

This Rach 3 rocks!

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

A masterpiece performed by one of the greatest, and perhaps the most passionate pianist of out time. The only "criticism" I have read about Martha's rendering of this piece is that she has too much verve and passion, and its hard for the poor orchestra to keep up with her. Fortunately, in this recording, Chailly et al do a remarkable job of so doing. Don't play this recording while driving because your heart will race and you may end up with an expensive speeding ticket.

Wow! Powerful playing here! Not for the timid. Best enjoyed with the windows open on a warm sunny day (with hopefully the neighbors away). Requires your full attention for both the scathing Rachmaninoff and the take-no-prisoners rendition of the Tchaikovsky. You have been warned!

TANTI TESORI IN UN SOLO DISCO
In un solo disco ci sono due dei più grandi capolavori per pianoforte ed orchestra, interpretati dalla più grande pianista vivente accanto a due grandissimi direttori d’orchestra: Chally e Kondrashin. Le registrazioni sono dal vivo, in ADD e risalgono al 1982 per il concreto di Rachmaninoff ed al 1980 per il concerto di Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Furono registrate dai tecnici della Philips ma incise e distribuite solo 13 anni dopo dalla Decca che aveva assorbito, nel 1999, la fallita Philips (oggi Pentatone).
Si tratta di due interpretazioni leggendarie: in Rachmaninoff la Argerich doma e domina una delle partiture più complesse mantenendo alta la tensione anche nei momenti dell’adagio; in Tchaikovsky è un fenomeno della natura capace di far brillare una partitura cupa e drammatica. Entrambe le interpretazioni sono accomunate quel tocco inimitabile e selvaggio che fa della Argerich una musicista unica nel suo genere.
Come dicevo, si tratta di due registrazioni dal vivo, con tutti i pregi ed i difetti delle registrazioni dal vivo. Si nota però il buon lavoro dei tecnici della Philips, che voglio ricordarlo, è la casa discografica che ha “inventato il CD”. Eccellente l’equilibrio tra pianoforte ed orchestra anche se in Rachmaninoff il pianoforte sembra un po’ troppo vicino al punto di ascolto, ma questo rende ancora più emozionante il travolgente finale del “Rach 3”. Al di là di qualche colpo di tosse che si ascolta tra un movimento e l’altro, l’equilibrio tonale, la dinamica ed il dettaglio della registrazione sono al di sopra della media per registrazioni di quarant'anni fa.
Una gioia ascoltare questo disco.

Gefühl, Leidenschaft und mehr als nur ein Hauch explosiver Anarchie!

Reviewed in Germany on February 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

5 Sterne sind eigentlich nicht genug für diese mitreißenenden Liveaufnahmen der genialen Pianistin Argerich. Von Rachmaninoffs 3. Klavierkonzert beispielsweise besitze ich einige großartige Aufnahmen, u.a. von Ashkenazy, Tokarev, Richter...jede für sich mehr als hörenswert. Aber die Darbietung von Argerich ist die faszinierendste und einzigartigste von allen.

Übertragen auf die Rockmusik würde man sagen, dass sie stellenweise einem orgiastischen Sturmgewitter in bester "Who-Tradition" entgegensteuert. Man höre sich nur mal den furiosen 3. Satz von Rachmaninoffs Meisterwerk an. Dann wieder enorm gefühlvolle, sensible Parts, ohne die unterschwellige Dramatik und Sehnsucht aus dem Auge zu verlieren. Das tendenzielle Gefälle zwischen Orchester und der Solistin ist dabei zu verschmerzen. Angesicht des Temperaments von Frau Argerich hätte wohl jedes Orchester arge Probleme bekommen.

Klangtechnisch betrachtet klingen die Liveaufnahmen von 1982 (Rach.) bzw. 1995 (Tschai.) erstaunlich gut, wenn auch nicht immer ganz ausgewogen.

Kurz: Wer Leidenschaft, tongewordene tiefste Emotionen und Virtuosität in Vollendung, gepaart mit zwei der größten Kompositionen der klassischen Musik sucht, liegt hier goldrichtig.

A fiery pianist performs an opulent masterpiece

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

Martha Argerich is undoubtedly the perfect match for Rachmaninov's Third, one of the most daunting and opulent of Piano concertos. On this disc she is not simply able to tame but to dominate its music which is of the highest passion and pianistic intimacy and intensity. Her performance is sensuous, impulsive and especially in the finale's fierce momentum acutely resonating the Rachmaninov's idiom, to subtlety and rhetoric alike, while at the same time conveying her own formidable force and individuality. While her performance is throughout magnificent, it is in the finale that it is truly stunning.

In conclusion a transcendental performance of Rachmaninov's Third.

The Tchaikovsky First Piano concerto though undoubtedly a beautiful piece of music, pales by comparison.

Buy the disc primarily for Rachmaninov's Third.
