Martha Argerich - The Complete Sony Classical Recordings is a 5 CD original jackets collection containing 2 CDs remastered from the original analogue tapes using 24bit/96 kHz technology. Martha Argerich (born June 5, 1941) is an Argentine pianist, widely regarded as one of the greatest pianists of the second half of the 20th century. Martha Argerich rose to international prominence when she won the seventh International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1965, at age 24. In that same year, she debuted in the United States in Lincoln Center's Great Performers Series. In 1960, she had made her first commercial recording, which included works by Chopin, Brahms, Ravel, Prokofiev, and Liszt.
"this is classic Argerich: incandescent and mercurial, she seems to have a limitless range of colour at her disposal. The Fantasie possesses tenderness; the Fantasiestucke soar." BBC Music Magazine, January 2012 ***** (on the Schumann)
"With its combination of effortless virtuosity and spontaneity of feeling, every detail of the Galway/Argerich version falls naturally into place. The recording is most sympathetic." Penguin Guide *** (on the Prokofiev sonata)
