One of the magical moments for me is the solo that comes after the cadenza. Where the soloist tumbles from up high to the lowest A on the keyboard. The way she highlights the basses with accents. It is so uniquely hers. No one does it like her. And those who didn't do it, somehow doesn't have the spark of humor and joy of the piece. As for the second movement... gosh, that warrants a separate video. There's so much divine beauty in it. And her treatment of it, the way she often play the notes not together, or the way she adds rubato, just the peak of artistic freedom.

Not going to worry about which performance is "best"...what is so interesting with Argerich is how she finds different ways to play this magical cadenza time and time again. Her technique, control, power and phrasing is as strong now as it was 50 years ago. Truly one of the greatest pianists ever.

As she ages, I've noticed that she employs more hand rotation rather than finger technique. I wish I could keep my hands as tension-free as she does!

A lot of the motion is actually initiated with the whole arm, that is using the shoulder, and the elbow, to create a fluid circular motion. It's hard to see because she's so efficient with her economy of motion in her technique, but it's there.

One of the best concerto cadenzas ever....Argerich is great. Very passionate interpretations...not like the french recent pianists that lack passion...Argerich reveals Ravel's soul in this cadenza like Michelangeli and Zimerman...

I would say that the changes have something to do with her level of energy on a given day, making some of these performances seem more aggressive than others. And, some days, we just feel more "musical" than on other days.

Great pianist, but over time, Argerich has achieved a richer and more profound sound, reminiscent of the legendary depth of Backaus. Rachmaninoff, Richter, Horowitz or Gilels, as if meeting God before the final day. She has maintained her technique while imbuing her performances with even greater depth.

It's not that she changed the way she plays It. She simply doesn't care, and play whatever happens at the moment. Ask her about her musical ideas of this cadenza and she can't say anything. It's random

@@Pogouldangeliwitz for me, the classical definition of a cadenza that you find in Mozart Beethoven etc. starts to go out the window late 19th and 20th Century. Occasionally you get a concerto with a classic cadenza but otherwise composers start using solo sequences more freely. I’ve always considered this a cadenza because it occurs in the usual spot (towards the end of the movement, before the coda), and because it does the usual classical cadenza thing of showcasing some technical skill while sounding semi improvisatory. I agree the terminology begins to break down though
