Martha Argerich Festival
Hamburg Symphony Orchestra / Martha Argerich / Europa Chor Akademie Görlitz
After Ravel’s »Mother Goose«, Martha Argerich performs a Tchaikovsky jewel: the famous Piano Concerto No. 1, which is known to leave permanent earworms in its wake. After that »virtuoso’s anthem« the rhythmical sparks start spraying as Stravinsky celebrates a Russian country wedding in magnificent fashion in »Les Noces« – complete with four pianos, choir and plenty of percussion!
