The superlative Martha Argerich
When music critic Alex Ross once tried to describe pianist Martha Argerich's playing, he bemoaned that his "well of superlatives had run dry." Argerich has been getting rave reviews, and exhausting everyone's supply of musical superlatives, since 1965. That was the year she took the world by storm, winning the Chopin Competition. We'll spend the bulk of hour one as Argerich devotees, focusing on her spectacular solo performances and collaborations with other artists. Plus, Rolf Lislevand on improvisation, and listener calls and emails.
