About the artist Martha Argerich

Martha Argerich was born in Buenos Aires in 1941 and started playing the piano at age 3. At age 5, she moved to teacher Vincenzo Scaramuzza who stressed to her lyricism and feeling. She was considered a child prodigy and gave her debut concert at the age of 8. In 1955, she moved to Europe and continued her studies in London, Vienna and in Switzerland . She studied with Friedrich Gulda in Austria and later with Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli and Stefan Askenase. In 1957, at sixteen, she won both the Geneva International Music Competition and the Ferruccio Busoni International Competition within three weeks of each other. In 1957, she won the Bolzano and Geneva Piano Competitions, and in 1965 the Warsaw International Chopin Competition. Since then, she has been one of the most prominent pianists in the world both in popularity and ability. Her large repertoire includes Bach and Bartok, Beethoven and Messiaen, as well as Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Debussy, Ravel, Franck, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Shostakovitch, Tchaikovsky. Though she is permanently invited by the most prestigious orchestras, conductors and music festivals in Europe, Japan and America, chamber music takes a significant part of her musical life. She has received many awards : 'Grammy Award' for Bartok and Prokofiev Concertos, 'Gramophone - Artist of the Year', 'Best Piano Concerto Recording of the Year' for Chopin concertos, 'Choc' of the Monde de la Musique for her Amsterdam's recital, 'Kunstler des Jahres Deutscher Schallplatten Kritik', 'Grammy Award' for Prokofiev's Cinderella with Mikael Pletnev 'Sunday Times - Record of the Year' for her Shostakovitch recording.
