Martha Argerich

This special edition, released for the occasion of Martha Argerich's 80th birthday, combines some of her most impressive recordings. At the same time, it is testimony to the enormous musical and creative versatility with which she has succeeded in surprising audiences and critics alike, over and over again, for more than 60 years.

"You should never imitate yourself" (Martha Argerich)

When Martha Argerich sits at the piano, she devotes herself to the music with heart and soul.

Not a single note is banal, and no concert is ever a mere fulfilment of duties.
