Review title: The young Argerich--fresh and completely without affectation
Product review: The few complainers about this famous recording have slipped far down the list here at Amazon, and what's striking is that the things the detractors hate about Argerich (mannered phrasing, overly aggressive attack, rushing, banging) are the very things we don't get here. Argerich can adopt a reckless, hectoring style, but at her best--as here--she's full of imagination, wit, and an uncanny ability to see beneath the surface of the score.I can only second everyone else's high praise for the Prokofiev and Ravel concertos, which are spellbinding, as well as the praise for her Gaspard de la Nuit, which is staggeringly virtuosic and original. Abbado conducts with gusto and style, if not the greatest nuance, and only the somewhat dated sonics detract (marginally) from an acclaimed recording that has remained in print for forty years.
