Filmed at the 2008 Verbier Festival, this performance of Bach's Second Partita by Martha Argerich is something special. It is a work that Argerich has had in her repertoire for decades. She recorded it for Deutsche Grammophon in 1979, our critic at the time noted that 'her playing is quite without those excesses or mannerisms that too often pass for authenticity, and in the Andante immediately following the Sinfonia she's expressive yet clear and precise, her following Allegro a marvel of high-speed yet always musical bravura.' The performance below is also available on DVD from EuroArts.
