Year in reviews: piano recording highlights of 2019
Rendez-vous with Martha Argerich

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the world’s most extraordinary pianist sharing her joy in collaboration with close friends, far from the strains and stresses of solo playing. Highlights include an evocative Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune with her long-term partner Stephen Kovacevich, Ravel’s surrealist nightmare La valse with Nicholas Angelich, and an enchanting account of Carnival of the Animals with Lilya Zilberstein. Th ere are fine performances by many other artists, but this is essentially about Argerich’s glory in an album crowned with striking photographs of all concerned.
