The Project Martha Argerich is an annual festival held in summerly Lugano which the giant pianist launched in 2009. Ever since it has spotlighted her alongside promising young and eminent older musical friends in stunning performances on carefully selected concert programmes. The 2009 edition has just been released as 3 CDs box. It covers sparkling (de Falla, Mendelssohn), pensive (Bartók) and tempestuous moments (Schumann) a.o. This is a marvellous document of Martha Argerich's great artistry and engagement for the music.
