An enthusiast today posted a video of Martha playing the Ravel G major concerto last summer.
The Belgrade orchestra is short of world class and slightly casual.
But Argerich is flawless and astonishing.
Just watch.
And catch that ovation.

Martha iz amazing, as ever! RTS Orchestra… Bless them, they do try very hard…
I like the way she delivers an encore. Or two, in a flow, responding to the reaction of the audience:
“Martha Argerich Encore 2022: Schumann and Bach”

She has no need to retire.
She is so incredible
Sorry…. accidentally clicked the thumb down button twice. Meant to delete the error, but it turned out to be twice thumb down. I meant to click .
First time I have ever seen the English Horn player get up and move beside the pianist for the slow movement. I suspect there were issues in rehearsal. Martha’s slow movement opening was achingly beautiful.
She is inspiring, not only as a pianist and musician, but as a person who is timeless, youthful, yet mature now in her freedom of breathing, pulse, emotion, style. God bless you, dear Martha.
Where is the article? Only the headline appears! What is happening to cause here to be off the world tour?
I think the headline simply means this is a video “from” (taken “off”) her world tour. It’s a bit misleading.
Frankly, the orchestra is unlistenable. Miracle Martha did not slam the piano closed and leave.
The orchestra is terrible….how come Argerich ends up on stage with an amateurish band like this?
Wonderful. So many notes being played by that humble orchestra and one wonders which are the right ones – BUT they gave it their all and will remember this performance for the rest of their lives. And I’d rather have a noisy orchestra than none at all. Bravo Belgrade!
Thank God she plays for the people. What keeps her going is performing. That’s what is important. Not every city has the financial means to hire 5 star musicians, especially in Belgrade.
I didn’t think the orchestra was too bad actually. But as for Martha- she’s a genius- still playing the Ravel Concerto better than anyone at almost 80 years old.
July 1983 I had tickets to see her play in a church in Cadaques and she cancelled. We had Igo Pogorelich instead! [Ravel, Haydn, Prokofiev].
Every decade, Ravel’s music gets better.
Igo Pogorelich? Freudian slip?
