Perfect antidote to a cold Saturday morning in south London. Stunningly beautiful and very moving.
Simply marvelous.. thanks for sharing. What a piece besides..
Martha’s reluctance to play alone onstage has been a great boon to four-hand performance. Her ‘Prokofiev for Two’ disc with Sergi Babayan is wonderful.
Even Yuja is getting into the act: I heard her play (encore) with Tarmo Peltokoski. (And in fact Daniil Trifonov did a four-hand tour with Babayan a few years back.)
Thank you for posting it.
It was last October at the “Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles”, I was lucky enough to be there and it was just fantastic.
Bravo Martha and Eliane!
I should have added that, moreover, this was a charity concert by Martha Argerich and her friends (a tribute to Aleksandr Khramouchin and a call for research on sepsis).
Much better than the one of her playing the Ravel with Lang Lang lol
Oh, J’adore!
