Martha Argerich Plays Chopin: The Legendary 1965 Recording

Released

A devilishly perfect match. Chopin was unafraid of unchecked, pure floral beauty and Argerich has the touch of an absolute wizard: like tiny animal feet one moment, and a hydraulic press the next. Her emotional range is as big as Chopin’s, making this a deeply affecting hour of music.
