Madame Argerich
Pianist Martha Argerich is one of those rare artists who works outside the established system. She signs no contracts, plays when and where and what she chooses, frequently cancelling performances at the last minute. And yet she inspires a reverent adoration in her many fans, who refer to her as Madame Argerich. In today's show, we'll go to a concert in Switzerland where Madame Argerich actually showed up and played a Mozart concerto.
