Exclusive: A filmed interview with Martha Argerich (10 minutes)




by Norman Lebrecht


Our partners at OperaPlus in Prague have secured the most elusive prize in classical music, a filmed conversation with Martha. The doyenne of pianists brings along her protégée Sophie Pacini, who tends to dominate the proceedings.


But Martha has insights to offer about Horowitz and Michelangeli, and her presence on screen as Sophie talks, is instructive of itself. And Martha’s pride in Sophie is visible for all the world to see.


Enjoy.
