liszt85 3000 Post Club Member Registered: 08/26/08 Posts: 3159	Btw, I would love to hear her play some Debussy! I wouldn't know what to expect and I'd be very interested in finding out what it sounds like! Actually, I'm quite sure it will be great, based on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iH8kFrGnqc So I'd like to hear her play the Preludes and Etudes by Debussy. Please let me know if she's already recorded them! _________________________ Current: Beethoven: Sonata Op.31, No.2 ("Tempest") Debussy: Danseuses de Delphes (Prelude 1, Book 1) Next in line: Chopin: Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op.23 Debussy: Le vent dans la plaine (Prelude 3, Book 1) Debussy: Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir (Prelude 4, Book 1)

Andromaque 3000 Post Club Member Registered: 08/29/08 Posts: 3534 Loc: New York	wr, those are awesome suggestions. I am not really familiar with some but I would LOVE to hear her in those Ligeti Etudes. I also often wonder what she might sound like in the Rachmaninoff or Chopin cello sonatas if she played along with Isserlis. I think he would tame her speed demons a bit and she would set his passionate side on greater fire. And they would produce gorgeous sounds. Edited by Andromaque (12/26/11 12:45 PM)

I didn't think he meant everybody's list. If he did, then he missed the two Liszt pieces I put down (or he's blocked me). I put down a Chopin piece myself.

Liszt is generally well served by recordings.. it's natural to want to hear Argerich in some more unusual literature, seeing how her recordings of pieces like Ginastera's Danzas Argentinas, Falla's Noches en los Jardines de Espana, Bartok's Third Concerto and the first violin sonata, etc are quite successful.. _________________________ Current projects: Bach: English Suite No. 3 in G minor Chopin: Barcarolle, Op. 60

Agreed. I found some suggestions intriguing, and some baffling. Hammerklavier??

Hammerklavier?? I love Martha, and I adore the sonata, but I can't put 2 and 2 together there... Nor I, but it would be intriguing. The suggestions in this thread have been fun, and anything Argerich plays could not help but be of interest, we have seen what she has done with Messiaen, Scriabin, (R)Strauss and Shostakovitch. But I still go back to my original request: why has Argerich not played the Rachmaninov Rhapsody? The piece seems ideal for her, and a decent recording might exceed the composer's and go right to the top of the pile. _________________________ Jason

Maybe Prok 2, but I've heard enough of her to more or less know what to expect with anything I've not heard already. _________________________ "And if we look at the works of J.S.

Forgive my ignorance; what is involved there? For my part, I was searching around to see if she had recorded Scriabin Sonata no. 2, and was very disappointed not to find anything. Here is one of argerichfan's posts from a previous thread: Originally Posted By: argerichfan Originally Posted By: stores My greatest memory of [Arrau] was hearing him with Beethoven's 4th back in the late 80s. For me it was a life event and something I'll never, ever forget. Where did he play? Tell us more about this? You probably know that a much earlier live performance by Arrau of the 4th concerto caused the young Argerich to be forever superstitious (she is very superstitious in an occult/Catholic sense) of playing this concerto. It was Arrau's trills which pushed her off the deep end, odd considering how magnificent her trills are. I have no doubt Argerich would play the Beethoven 4 supremely, but she is not a 'normal' person, no more than a Horowitz or Richter. So therefore we're cheated out... again. _________________________ Discontinuing the streaming practice for now, unless a few members PM me and still want me to do it.

Raff Junior Member Registered: 12/27/11 Posts: 1	Not sure about five pieces, but I really, really, really wish she played Prokofiev's 2nd Concerto. I'd love to see how she would handle the cadenza of the first movement, since no one seemingly can play it live accurately.
