Martha Argerich - The Piano Legend

“Żywa legenda". Czy termin ten może pasować do kogoś bardziej, niż do Marthy Argerich? Ikonicznej, charyzmatycznej, obdarzonej nieokiełznanym temperamentem i elektryzującą techniką pianistce, która odciska ślad w każdej kompozycji, której dotknie.
Kolekcja jej nagrań złożona w przepiękne 2-płytowe wydawnictwo, które wzrusza i porywa, nie dając o sobie zapomnieć. Cała ona.
