Notes and Editorial Reviews
"Her Liszt Sonata must rank near the top of the list of all recordings of that work, and at under 26 minutes it is probably the briefest... [S]urely no pianist, even Horowitz, has captured the diabolical elements of the score with such amazing virtuosity." -- Charles Timbrell, FANFARE [1999, reviewing Philips 456703]
"...[I]n the softer passages of Brahms’s B minor Rhapsody, recorded back in 1960, Argerich achieves subtleties of shading one hardly thought possible." -- Adrian Jack, BBC Music Magazine [reviewing DG 437252]
