As could Bartók--his Third Concerto starts with experimental pyrotechnics of the sort we associate with its two predecessors, and moves in its finale, without betraying their radical promise, to a Romantic Big Tune to end all such. What these three concertos have in common--their combination of aggressive athletic solo writing with a bitter-sweet emotional content--is precisely what makes Martha Argerich one of their ideal interpreters. The sensitive intelligence of her playing is matched by its ruthless brilliance of sound and energy; Charles Dutoit's discreet management of orchestral sound make these very much soloist-dominated performances, unlike some recordings of the Prokofiev 1 and Bartók 3 where the temptations offered by the orchestration are too much for some conductors. --\u003ci\u003eRoz Kaveney\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 724355665423\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0724355665423\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238279221507,"sku":"XE-X9GH-JDU4","price":7.68,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51dIXxnBGBL.jpg?v=1640159768","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/pno-ctos","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
