• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart • Maurice Ravel • Robert Schumann • Sergey Rachmaninov A rare filmed performance of one of the greatest pianists of all times, Martha Argerich. Argerich is almost as well known for her reclusive nature as she is for her exciting performances. In this DVD release we are privileged to have captured Martha Argerich at her peak in three separate duets. These collaborations present an involved musical conversation unmatched by any solo performance. Martha Argerich and Nicolas Economou perform Mozart´s "Piano Sonata for Four Hands in D major, K. 381," and then, together with Mischa Maisky, Argerich plays Schuman´s "Phantasiestucke op. 73, No. 1-3." Finally, Martha Argerich and Nelson Freire perform two pieces; Rachmaninov´s "Suite for Two Pianos no. 2, op. 17" and Ravel´s " La Valse". This DVD release includes the unique feature of optional on-screen analysis of the music being performed as well as subtitle display of the mood and tempo designation. An in-depth biography of each of the performersis included, as rareon-screen liner notes, a glossary of musical terms and contemporary history of the compositions. c.
