Martha Argerich
Back
A brilliant Argentinian pianist endowed with great technical mastery and a charismatic interpretative personality, Martha Argerich is unanimously considered by her peers to be the best pianist in the world. Famous for interpreting pieces from the great piano repertoire (Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Debussy, Ravel, Bartók, Prokofiev), having worked as a soloist with the most famous maestros and orchestras, Martha Argerich gains an interest, beginning in the 1980’s, in chamber music, multiplying collaborations with names such as Gidon Kremer, Mischa Maisky, Itzhak Perlman, Nelson Freire or Daniel Barenboim. Involved in supporting young musicians, she creates three festivals/competitions: the Beppu Festival (in Japan), the Martha Argerich International Piano Competition of Buenos Aires, and the Martha Argerich Project, in Lugano, Switzerland.
