This recording is really good. Firstly, about the sound quality. Although this recording was made in 1984, the Deutsche-Grammophon sound is clear, full, and crisp. Now about the performance. This is the most extraordinary Kreisleriana I have ever heard. It's beautiful, tender, raw, wise - but none of these adjectives do it justice. It's best to just get it & listen.
When this recording is on, I and everybody I'm with, even if we were busy doing something before, inevitably find ourselves just listening later on. It's really astoundingly beautiful, both the score & the playing. The way Argerich sinks into the chords and slips into her pauses is satisfying and right. I don't know how she can sing from a very human place yet also be a technical goddess. Even her silences are thoughtful, musical moments.
It's an honor to hear Argerich's revealing performance because the connection she has to the music is palpable. It's such a treat to listen to this one as many times as I want.
As a side note, I love the photograph of her on this CD cover! She looks a bit stoned, doped up from so much Schumann!
