Very subtle, nuanced clip.
Feliz navidad, Marta! You are a miracle.

If only we could have her for another 80 years!
Feliz cumple Martha. Espero tenga un día maravilloso
Me encanta verla…
Rasgos familiares; ambas descendemos del primer Argerich en Argentina.
Lamento no haberla conocido personalmente.
¡Felicidades, Martha!
Happy Birthday to Martha Argerich, a great artist. Your music is magnificent and has given me thrills over the years, both in person concerts and recordings. Be well.
Happy birthday Martha. You are bringing joy to the world. The wonder of your personality and music making is not describable and incandescent. It will last forever. You deserve hope, love and happiness. Laubi and Christi Walters
Classic FM player her Rach.3 with Chailly as a tribute on Saturday: an utter travesty of the music which pianophiles seem to adore. Announcer said it was with Berlin Philharmonic but that’s about what you would expect from ‘personality’ presenters.
Hopefully her new recording of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony will ignite an interest in playing 4 hand versions of the symphonic repertoire. Handy in these covid times!
