The celebrated pianist curates fantastic ensemble pieces with her colleagues. The latest installment in Argerich’s yearly “Martha Argerich & Friends” concert series at the Lugano Festival showcases lesser-known works by Schumann, Glass, Turina, Ginastera, and more. Argerich radiates sophistication and tenderness in Brahms’ athletic, rapturous Horn Trio in E-Flat Major, and her refined approach to the melodies of Franz Ries’ B Minor Piano Quintet—particularly its sweeping, passionate Larghetto movement—is sure to captivate the listener, bringing to mind the lyricism of Chopin and the alluring playing of her most talented predecessors, from Rubinstein to Horowitz.
