An electrifying performance from a true piano legend, Martha Argerich delivers Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major with an unmatched brilliance that sets the stage ablaze.

Ravel’s jazz-infused masterpiece—already bursting with color and rhythmic flair—finds new life in Argerich’s hands. Her touch is both fierce and featherlight, effortlessly gliding through the syncopated figures and sparkling arpeggios with a freedom that feels improvisatory yet utterly controlled. The playful energy of the first movement bubbles with joie de vivre, while the second movement unfolds like a dream—tender, flowing, and heartbreakingly beautiful.

And when the final movement erupts, it’s pure Argerich: fast, fearless, and ferociously alive. Each note is a spark; each phrase, a firework. The orchestra follows her lead with pulse-pounding momentum, but make no mistake—this is her show, and she owns every dazzling second.

This isn’t just a performance—it’s a masterclass, a celebration, and a whirlwind reminder of why Martha Argerich remains one of the most thrilling pianists of our time.
