[ Warner Classics / 3 CD Box Set ]

Release Date: Friday 1 August 2014

The latest instalment of highlights from the Martha Argerich Project at the Lugano Festival. This is the 11th annual 3CD set celebrating the musical fruits of a project in which young artists join seasoned performers, including Martha Argerich herself, to explore wide-ranging chamber music and orchestral repertoire, both well-known and rarely heard.

"With Martha at the keys, Beethoven's First Piano Concerto sparkles and winks, with friendly assistance from the Dutch conductor Hubert Soudant and the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana...But as usual the special treats come in the lighter items, when hair is let down and feet stomp." (The TImes, May 2014)
