Martha Argerich: The Collection 2 - The Concerto Recordings;

Since she won the seventh International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition in 1965 at the age of 24, this Argentine concert pianist has mostly avoided the limelight; she remains, however, one of the greatest interpreters of classical music. Included here are a scintillating array of concertos: Prokofiev's Concerto no. 3 in C major op. 26 ; Liszt's Piano Concerto no. 1 ; Mendelssohn's Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Orchestra in D minor ; Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto no. 1 , and more. Technically brilliant...passionately rendered!
