Argerich

I went to see her duo performance with Nelson Freire.  She looks so old.

But the performance was fantastic.

I saw the performance, too, last Sunday.  I thought they were fantastic.  I especially loved hearing the Brahms "Haydn Variations" in Brahms' own two-piano arrangement.  La Valse and the 2nd Rachmaninoff were performed with bravura, as was the Lutaslowski "Paganini Variations," a true show-off piece.

Argerich is 63-64 years old (born in 1941).  So yes, she's aged!  Look at a photo of Freire from 25 years ago if you want to see aging!
