The annual Progetto Martha Argerich at the Lugano Festival, is well-established as one of the world's most important music festivals.
The latest instalment of highlights from the Martha Argerich Project at the Lugano Festival, this is the 14th annual 3-CD set celebrating the musical fruits of a project in which young artists join seasoned performers, including Martha Argerich herself, to explore wide-ranging chamber music and orchestral repertoire, both well-known and rarely heard.
The 15th annual festival, which ran from 7-30 June 2016, featured international soloists such as Nicholas Angelich, Stephen Kovacevich, and Renaud Capuçon as well as many of her young protégés, including Karin Lechner and Sergio Tiempo, and her daughter Lyda Chen. The festival also celebrated the occasion of Martha's 75th birthday, and she features on many of the performances on this highlights collection, including Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit and Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major.
"This is the last of Warner's annual gleanings from the Lugano Festival at which Martha Argerich presides - and definitely the most exciting. She may be 76, but her playing has lost none of its phenomenal precision and brilliance…In Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit Argerich is like a cat, velvet pawed until the moment for a predatory pounce. I have never heard 'Ondine' delivered with such delicate poetry, nor 'Le gibet' with such musing languor." BBC Music Concerto Choice
"[Argerich] recorded Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit in the studio in the 1970s, and hearing her play it 40 years later with the same dazzling security and clarity is an extraordinary privilege...There are other treats, notably a wonderfully warm account of Brahms' Horn Trio...and a feisty, muscular one of Berg's Chamber Concerto." The Guardian
