Reviews

NY Times, James R. Oestreich (March 27, 2000)

'Carnegie Hall may not have offered anything quite like this since Vladimir Horowitz returned to the recital stage in 1965 after a dozen years of retirement. Here, on Saturday evening, was the electrifying Argentine pianist Martha Argerich in her first major solo appearance in 19 years.'
