Week of July 18th
Chopin
Martha Argerich
“When I don’t play Chopin for a while, I don’t feel like a pianist,” said Martha Argerich in a BBC interview. Our Album of the Week this week is a new 5 CD set which brings together Martha Argerich’s complete studio, live and radio recordings of Chopin on the renowned German label, Deutsche Grammophon, and documents her special relationship with the composer’s music. Issued for her 75th birthday celebration, this retrospective offers a comprehensive view on the composer who has always been at the very heart of Martha Argerich’s repertoire.
