Martha Argerich – now in Lego form

If this is true it’s good to see that high culture is being represented by Lego! I cannot, however, find mention of it on the Lego website and wonder, if it is available, where is it be sold?

The construction is very clever to watch! But is there a LEGO company video or a link to the product specifying that Martha is the intended pianist? (If she had ever desired for a commercial product, why not fragrances? “Martha: Dolcissimo”, and, “Martha: Fortissimo”. A small musical chip comes with each purchase. Oh, wait, we’re still using cds and downloads. The chip hasn’t arrived yet. I predicted it would in 2003, but still waiting….)

Here’s a Lego Jordi Savall video, apparently from the same person(s):

Amazing how she can still play so beautifully with just four prongs on her hands. And the acoustics on that Lego piano sound pretty good, considering it’s plastic.

Except, of course, it was not Chopin’s Piano Concerto No 1 being played in that short film it was the start of Beethoven’s Choral Fantasia.
