50 GREATEST RECORDINGS OF ALL TIME (No 19) - BBC MUSIC

This 5 CD set brings together Martha Argerich's complete studio, live and radio recordings on Deutsche Grammophon, and documents her special, intuitive and passionate relationship with Chopin's music.

"Of the playing here, I shall just say it's no wonder she won the Chopin Competition. Likewise in the three Mazurkas Op. 59...she captures their intimacy and lightning changes of mood to perfection....In the [concerto's] finale (for once truly agitato) she sweeps all before her with breathless exhilaration." Gramophone Magazine, on the Radio recordings

"Few recordings of these works have such a perfect combination of virtuosity and compelling artistic insight as these. Argerich shows her remarkable grasp of Chopin's music." Gramophone Magazine on the Preludes

"Here is beautifully projected playing, the emotional quality of the music judged to a poetic nicety, the bravura never gratuitous. Between them Argerich and Abbado generate a heady world of romance and electricity." BBC Music Magazine on the 1st Piano Concerto
