More Details on Martha Argerich - Live from the Lugano Festival 2006
No other pianist in the musical world nurtures and promotes emerging talent with the same level of personal commitment and belief as Martha Argerich. The results of the chamber music partnerships heard on this album demonstrate the magic that is made when these professional friends get together.
This 3CD set welcomes back many familiar names from the three previous Live from the Lugano Festival releases including EMI Classics-signed pianists Gabriela Montero and Sergio Tiempo and Virgin Classics’ inimitable string playing brothers Renaud and Gautier Capuçon.
The last two years have seen Argerich’s Live from the Lugano Festival collections nominated for Grammy Awards - most recently for Best Classical Album and Best Chamber Music Performance in the 2007 awards.
The musical landscape is broad in this year’s collection. Alongside works by classic miniaturists Mendelssohn and Schumann sit nocturnes by the 20th-century master of the mood Debussy, in arrangements for two pianos, and works by contrasting Russian composers Sergei Taneyev (1856-1915) and Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998).
An arrangement for flugelhorn and piano of Schumann’s Fantasie pieces and an intriguing cello “concerto” accompanied by rhythm section and wind band keep up the tradition of including more off-the-wall couplings in these chamber music collections, established with “Late Night Lugano” on the first release.
Martha Argerich and Friends return once more to Lugano in June 2007 for the sixth Martha Argerich Project at the Lugano Festival and this set of live recordings is released to coincide with the festival.
