    Argerich is simply superb. Her playing is immediate and she throws caution to the wind which, with a technique like hers, she can do, and then perform!
    I find many other pianists bland in comparison to her and I feel for her as in many recent interviews she talks of the trauma and stress she encounters before concerts.
    A great artist!

    What a load of sour nonsense . OK she cancels from time to time - she is 70 years old and has recovered from cancer . Quite clearly despite her supreme talent she seems to have quite severe self-confidence issues judging by all the profiles I have read .

    Anyone , who thinks she is in decline should go and listen to the Lugano Festival recordings of the past few years . The Chopin Concerto No 1 from 2010 is better than both her studio recordings to my ears and was raved about by AMcG this morning too .

    I was lucky enough to see her at the 2009 Prom , unlike an earlier poster but like the audience that night I thought it was quite brilliant and I shall always remember it together with the Scarlatti encore.
