Description:
Martha Argerich is the last remaining pianist of legend.A wild child and a rebel at heart, this legendary Argentinean musician is surrounded by an aura of mystery: some find her too uncompromising, others generous and beautiful, yet to all she is without doubt incredibly talented. For the very first time on camera Martha Argerich shares with us her memories, confides in us her doubts, and transmits to us her incredible appetite for music making. Images of Argentina, rehearsals in the concert hall or at home, excerpts of recent concerts and archival clips complete this unique film on one of the most secretive and endearing artists of our time.

I did, of course, know of Martha Argerich.I have a copy of her debut recording, when she was a teenager of growing international renown.This movie goes back and forth in her career, beginning in medias res, working with a young violinist.The film contains clips of her earlier performances, interspersed with her "evening talks" with associates and the film maker.Her perspectives on her career, her professional relationships, and her relationships with music/composers is beyond enlightening. ...

Rating: - What a powerful woman.
I watched this in awe. Martha Argerich, as most of us know, is an iconic wonder of the art of piano. She knows the instrument so intimately. The instrument gives to her what most of us dream it could give to us.
This DVD takes you into her lounge, sits you in front of the fireplace and serves you a cup of tea. What an amazingly filmed interview. The relaxed nature of it is so enticing, and makes you feel rude to stand up and leave the room for a toilet break. I just watched it in awe. ... Read More

Guchot's documentary is about Martha Argerich's oneness with the music she plays.We knew it existed already from hearing her performances. Here she articulates it in ways that are candid, joyful, earthy, and most eloquent in her charming manner. She is never pedantic. These conversations reveal the deeply personal and dynamic relationship with her art and the composers who make it happen. Only such humility and integrity, and perhaps a fundamentally iron will, can make her transcendental technique ... Read More
Rating: - A Musical Conversation
In my opinion Martha Argerich is one of the most important musicians of our time. Not only her incredibly virtuosic playing, but all that she has done in promoting young gifted performers, and her unending exploration of the piano and chamber music repertoire has made her a legend.
The newly released film Martha Argerich Evening Talks, by Georges Gachot will add to the legend. It is beautifully filmed, using footage from performances past and present, juxtaposed with scenic footage of Argerich's ... Read More
Rating: - Argerich Talks and Plays
Martha Argerich, for many of us, has long been an enigma. She has always been a private person, one who does not seek the spotlight, who even cancels performances because, it is said, of nervousness, shyness. Filmmaker Georges Gachot, afteryears of entreaties, gets her to agree, to speak with him on camera. She comes across as a soft-spoken, shy, immensely intelligent but often cryptic person, one who has idiosyncratic but attractive ideas about her relationships with composers and various pieces of music. ...
