Subject: RMCR: A Night on the town w/Martha Argerich
First the concert: a truly memorable evening of wonderful
music making. Argerich played the Bach Partita #2, which I enjoyed Andras Schiff playing in NY last month, but Argerich was a revelation, bringing out parts of the counterpoint I never heard before, with all parts _singing_. The Chopin Barcarolle was a tour de force, the Scherzo #3 a touch on the fast side. Though I am not a fan of the Prokofiev Sonata #7, Argerich owns this piece and made a great case for it - spectacular playing. She pulled the Juilliard Quartet along into a first rate playing of the Schumann Quintet (the best parts for me were where you could almost hear her dragging them along). Then the Ravel La Valse with Nelson Freire, to my ears even better than on the older performance just released on DVD. Two encores with Freire (what where they, anyone?). With an even longer wilder ovation than she got a week and a half ago, not even turning out the stage lights worked to quiet the audience down, they finally had to send out a guy to shut down the piano, and she still got a call or two more. RMCR was out in force, almost 20 met pre-concert at the You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Got there too late for the picture -- a couple of hundred people on
the sidewalk, couldn't figure out who looked most like internet geeks. Stunning show -- though I thought it took her about half the Bach to A touch fast in the Chopin Scherzo? Land speed record, I'm thinnking. John Harkness On Sun, 26 Mar 2000 06:58:17 GMT, Jeffrey Friedman <j...@ix.netcom.com> You must Sign in before you can post messages.

I planned to be there. I wanted to be there. However, threatened rain for a
two hour drive and no ticket discouraged me at the last minute. Alas, later in the day I saw a posting here for a ticket. It would have been fun to meet some of you, and, of course, there was the concert too. Tooter You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Many thanks to Andrys for keeping me informed and to everyone else for sharing
enthusiasm and photos that could almost make me believe I was there. Tooter You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Decided to make an update to my Argerich page and include reports from this group and from the Great Pianists group for people who wonder what it was like as well as some reviews and of course links to Jeff's fabulous Carnegie Hall mug gallery, or is that his gallery of fabulous mugs? :-) - A -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.

How much does Marmite cost per ounce? Also, "A" seems pretty gutsy to be

Being originally from the UK I grew up on the stuff and am still a closet Marmite eater much to the disgust of my North American friends. But how did it creep into the lives of rmcr'ers?
