Known for her spirited playing, the pianist Martha Argerich impressed at the tender age of seven, when she debuted with Beethoven, and continues to be a busy protagonist of the piano world. Recorded in July 1960 at Beethovensaal in Hannover, Germany, these pieces by Chopin, Brahms, Prokofiev, Ravel and Liszt have been selected from the Deutsche Grammophon archive for our Archival Tape Edition.

Cut directly from a completely unedited 1:1 copy of the original tape provided by Deutsche Grammophon, one has never been closer to the artist, the original sound waves and music history.
