    Perfect antidote to a cold Saturday morning in south London. Stunningly beautiful and very moving.

  • E says:

    Simply marvelous.. thanks for sharing. What a piece besides..

  • Mock Mahler says:

    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
