About This Item
This album, which features both of Schumann's concertos with an exceptional cast of performers, has been among the best sellers in the Teldec catalog since it's over thirty years ago. It will be released on vinyl for the very first time, shortly before Argerich's 85th birthday (on June 5th). InchIn her live recording Martha Argerich gives a vividly compelling, characteristically volatile reading of the Schumann Concerto, at once poetic and full of fancy, not to say powerful and often wildly individual. The performance, recorded live in July 1992, culminates in an account of the finale so daring one wants to cheer at the endInch Gramophone Album Tracks 1. Piano Concerto in a Minor, Op. 54 I.
