    Happy birthday to the great Argerich. Here she is in the Prokofiev 3, with Previn, which she ate for a snack, seemingly. If she had not done anything else, her status would still be secure.

      2minutes before the camera homes in on Martha Argerich’s face. A simple but effective ploy. It helps me appreciate a piece which is in general a bit of a blind spot for me.

    Does anyone know whether she has any scheduled appearances into next year? I can’t find much. Hope she’ll still be playing.

    Did I read somewhere – maybe here! – that Argerich will have her chamber music festival happening again in another location?

    Those recordings on EMI are great.
