Riccardo Chailly leads Martha Argerich in Schumann
Director
Bob Coles
Performers
The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra
Martha Argerich (piano)
Riccardo Chailly (conductor)
Martha Argerich has long been hailed as one of the greatest and most uniquely imaginative pianists. This legendary Argentinean musician is surrounded by an aura of mystery: some find her too uncompromising, others generous and beautiful, yet to all she is without doubt incredibly talented.
Here, she joins forces with dynamic Milan-born conductor Riccardo Chailly for a dazzling all-Schumann concert which features Schumann's Piano Concerto.

OK so we know about the Piano Concerto, but it would be so helpful if you were to list the other works in this concert. This comment applies to so many of your A-Z and programme guide listings. Cut down on the flights of fancy and give us the facts: what is being performed, by whom, when and where. We’ll makeup our own minds about whether it’s good or bad.

David is quite right. First give the programme and artists and only then, if space allows, give subjective comments. I have spent some time on the web trying to find the required information without success.
I must though congratulate Sky Arts on some splendid (classical) music programmes.

Couldn’t agree more. Most music lovers want the essential facts - the works, the performers, the venue/event. Most will know that Argerich is a phenomenal artist. By the way, a fantastic concert.
