Acclaimed by critics as an evening of superlative, Martha Argerich - arguably the greatest living pianist - joins Daniel Barenboim and his West-Eastern Divan Orchestra for an unforgettable interpretation of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto. Argerich's playing is full of astonishing virtuosity and uncompromising, alternating with breakneck passages and tender tones: "Martha Argerich is and remains unique" (Die Presse). In addition to Tchaikovsky's brilliant piece, Schubert's Symphony "Unfinished" is played, a work that has never been performed during the composer's lifetime. "Martha Argerich, Daniel Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra provide an exceptional atmosphere in the Festspielhaus." (Salzburger Nachrichten)
