notes

"When I don't play Chopin for a while, I don't feel like a pianist," said Martha Argerich in a BBC interview. Highly praised for her passionate and intuitive approach to Chopin over many decades, she also admitted to being fascinated by the ambiguity in his music, which offers a look into the abyss: "There is sometimes this element of a very beautiful poisoned flower."
