Martha Argerich

Description:

Now in its seventh year, the Lugano Festival is packed with the very essence of chamber music, including Argerichs first recordings of works by Janek, Piazzolla, and PretnyovCentered around Martha Argerich and featuring several generations of musicians from her musical circle, Progetto Martha Argerich captivates audiences with world-class performances ranging from well-known classics to hidden gems, and has established itself as a mecca for summer music festival fans. The highlight of the 2008 program was Argerichs first-ever recordings of works by three composers: Janek, Piazzolla, and Pretnyov. The performance of Arenskys romantic Piano Quintet also served as an opportunity to once again showcase its appeal to the audience.—
