in Verbier (Live)

MARTHA ARGERICH on VERBIER FESTIVAL GOLD THE JOINT LABEL VENTURE BETWEEN THE VERBIER FESTIVAL AND DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON

“It is with great pride that we announce the Verbier Festival Gold label with our friends at Deutsche Grammophon. We have created many iconic memories with our community of artists in Verbier over the last 29 years, and we are honoured to share them now together with such a prestigious partner.” - Martin T:son Engstroem, Founder & Director

From the very beginning, incomparable pianist Martha Argerich has been a beloved member of the Verbier family. Her concerts at the Festivalare met with unparalleled anticipation, excitement, and elation -exuding a spirit of spontaneity and surprise. Nowhere else in the world does Argerich devote herself more fully to playing chamber music with dear friends.

Joining with Vadim Repin and Mischa Maisky, this release begins with a shimmering account of Haydn's "Gypsy" Trio. Argerich is equally notorious for delivering jaw-dropping fireworks to the Verbier mainstage, as exemplified in a superlative reading of Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto, accompanied by Yuri Temirkanov and the VFO.

Martha Argerich:

Early Recordings

In 1960 Martha Argerich was not yet a household name. Her début album was not to be released by Deutsche Grammophon until the following year, and the popularity that she was to achieve on winning the 1965 Warsaw Chopin Competition was not yet hers for the taking. And yet she was not completely unknown. She was born in Buenos Aires in 1941 and had already attracted attention as a child prodigy. Among her teachers were such famous pianists as Friedrich Gulda, Madeleine Lipatti and Nikita Magaloff. And soon after winning the 1957 Busoni and Geneva international competitions at the age of only sixteen, she had already made a number of important concert débuts. It is no wonder, then, that her name had come to the attention of various broadcasters. Only now has she sanctioned the release of some of the recordings that she made for North German and West German Radio in 1960 and 1967. They round off and complement our picture of Martha Argerich's pianism.

Verbier Festival - Carte Blanche

Recorded live at the 2007 Verbier Festival, this very special evening took place when the Festival gave pianist Martha Argerich carte blanche to program any repertoire and with any colleagues she desired.  The result was a special evening of music-making with an eclectic cast of friends and colleagues.  Amidst all the chamber music, Argerich also performs Schumann's Kinderszenenin a rare solo moment.
