Martha Argerich was born in Buenos Aires in 1941 and in the course of her career
has risen to become the best-known female pianist in the world. Friedrich Gulda
accepted her as a student in 1955 and she went to Vienna to study with him,
although he freely admitted that he did not know what he could teach her. In
1957 she won first prizes at piano competitions in Bolzano and Geneva. Her early
recordings made in Buenos Aires (1955) and Geneva (1957) form an interesting
part of this collection. These were followed by performances at radio stations
in Hamburg and Cologne and then by her first official vinyl recordings. She
gained early international recognition in 1961 thanks to a concert in Leningrad,
now Saint Petersburg, where Martha Argerich performed together with the
brilliant violinist Ruggiero Ricci. An example of that historic performance is
included in this first audio documentation of the beginnings of this exceptional
pianists career.
