Composer:
Ludwig van Beethoven

Artist(s):
Martha Argerich

Conductor:
Claudio Abbado

Background: Martha Argerich, unpredictable, volatile, impetuous, but one of the world's truly great pianists, her performances have always got something spine-tingling about them. This is Martha Argerich's first-ever recording of Beethoven's Concerto No.3, taped live in Ferrara in 2004.

It is complemented by an equally thrilling new version of No.2, one of Argerich's favourites. Teamed up with Claudio Abbado, her long-time musical partner, who can draw great performances from the greatest artists, and their favourite orchestral partners, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, we can be sure that this CD is something special.

- Jan-2005 Gramophone Editor's Choice 'Lightning strikes as Argerich's Beethoven 3 is finally heard on disc' - Penguin Guide 3 star 'the clarity and point of her playing in rapid passagework is a delight, with scales that ripple deliciously, so that every idea seems new'
