ARGERICH, MARTHA & FRIEND

Van het door Martha Argerich georganiseerde Lucern Festival verschijnt ieder jaar een boxje met de hoogtepunten. En hoogtepunten te over op de editie 2016. Argerich zelf schittert in Beethovens koorfantasie, Ravels Gaspard de la Nuit en diens pianoconcert. Een ander hoogtepunt is Bergs kamerconcert en violist Renaud Capuçon laat het te weinig gespeelde vioolconcert van Busoni horen. Wij kijken nu al uit naar de editie 2017.

The annual Progetto Martha Argerich at the Lugano Festival, is well-established as one of the world’s most important music festivals.

The latest instalment of highlights from the Martha Argerich Project at the Lugano Festival, this is the 14th annual 3-CD set celebrating the musical fruits of a project in which young artists join seasoned performers, including Martha Argerich herself, to explore wide-ranging chamber music and orchestral repertoire, both well-known and rarely heard.

The 15th annual festival, which ran from 7-30 June 2016, featured international soloists such as Nicholas Angelich, Stephen Kovacevich, and Renaud Capuçon as well as many of her young protégés, including Karin Lechner and Sergio Tiempo, and her daughter Lyda Chen. The festival also celebrated the occasion of Martha’s 75th birthday, and she features on many of the performances on this highlights collection, including Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit and Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major.
