Need help with concerto identification: What is Argerich playing in this video?

on: February 15, 2012, 08:12:45 AM

I came across this video of Argerich playing this concerto and I am interested in listening to the whole thing. I have a very very very limited knowledge of the piano concerto and I just want someone to identify for me the piano concerto. Thal, if you can do this, great. TIA

I have not got any speakers at the moment, but I think I have seen the clip before and it was one of those Prokofiev things.

Prokofiev's third! It would be pretty impressive if you could play it though, PRETTY difficult!
