# Martha Argerich

> She won the Chopin Competition in 1965 and never really stopped mattering. Argerich plays with a combination of technical ferocity and interpretive freedom that makes other pianists sound cautious, and for decades now she's preferred the chamber stage to the solo spotlight.

## Bio

Born in Buenos Aires on 5 June 1941, Argerich debuted at eight and left for Europe soon after to train seriously. At sixteen she took both the Geneva International Music Competition and the Ferruccio Busoni International Competition, but it was the 1965 International Chopin Piano Competition that turned her into a name. The recordings that followed—Chopin, Ravel, Liszt, Prokofiev, Schumann—cemented a reputation for interpretations that married abandon with precision. Since the 1980s she's shifted her energy toward collaboration, performing regularly with Nelson Freire, Mischa Maisky, and Gidon Kremer. The solo recital became rare; the partnership became the form.
