Argerichs greatest recording?

[sevencircles]

What recording would you consider to be Argerich´s best? From a technical standpoint in particular.

I have to admit that I have only heard what´s on youtube.

Has she ever recorded ANYTHING that was less then spectacular on a technical level?!

[pianoplayjl]

The video where she plays Liszt funerailles. Particularly the octaves section, which stands out from the gloomy piece. Her recording of Rach 3 wasn't as bad as others either.

Wasn't as bad?

[49410enrique]

hmm this one?

...jk she's fantastic, i love her prokofiev no 3 (concerto)

[49410enrique]

Wasn't as bad?

before people flame it's a joke,

  That's hysterical!!!!!!!!

[jmanpno]

Her Gaspard would have to be very very close to the top.  The incredible speed and accuracy with which she plays is breathtaking to begin with...and then there is the world of sound.

She absolutely blows away Prok 3  Never seen it better played.

Her recording of Jeux D'eau is absolute gold although I've heard that it is rather unconventional and that Ravel would have strangled her if he heard it.

Agreed.

Yuja Wang plays the Prokofiev Concerto 3 better, just saying. (You should take a listen)

On topic, my favourite performance would be the Prokofiev Piano Concerto 1.

I did take a listen, and while it is quite fantastic playing, I still think no one comes close to Argerich with this concerto

[korlock]

I'd have to say Prokofiev 3. Just marvelous.

that sounds like slow_concert_pianist 

btw, I think her best recording is the one with the complete chopin's preludes. I really like her version of schumann's 2nd sonata too.
