피아노의 여제 (女帝)! 마르타 아르헤리치
그녀의 활화산 같은 열정과 마력을 뽐내는 최고의 연주
2006년 독일 라이프치히 게반트하우스에서 열린 리카르도 샤이와 피아노의 여제! 마르타 아르헤리치의 슈만피아노협주곡.
수많은 청중이 들어찬 가운데 그녀의 진면목을 아낌없이 보여준 슈만 피아노 협주곡과 또한 리카르도 샤이와 게반트하우스 오케스트라가 연주하는 슈만 교향곡 제4번은 이들의 진면목을 아낌없이 보여준 명연주이다. 또한 뛰어난 화질과 연주자들의 숨소리까지 들릴듯한 뛰어난 음질도 이들의 명연주를 감상함에 있어 또 하나의 즐거움이다.

The Blu-ray will be released in February 2010. In summer 2006, the incomparable Martha Argerich presented an all Schumann programme in honour of the great romantic composer’s anniversary year. Recorded live at the beginning of June 2006 at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, the programme comprised favourite works for piano and orchestra including the Piano Concerto in A minor, the Symphony No. 4, excerpts from “Kinderszenen” along with works by Schumann in orchestrations by famous composers such as Tchaikovsky and Ravel. The legendary Argentinean pianist was accompanied by the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under its new “Kapellmeister” Riccardo Chailly. Martha Argerich has long been hailed as uniquely imaginative pianists and she is definitely the right person to honour Schumann on the anniversary of his death 150 years ago, as she is especially well known for her interpretations of the 19th century repertoire. She has been surrounded by an impermeable, almost mystical aura since the start of her career in the fifties – she is uncompromising in her music making, and yet she is generous and beautiful – and this DVD bears witness to the deep musicality of this incredible artist.
