Martha Argerich Edition - Solo & Duos (cd 6 of 6) - Messiaen, Gustavino, Piazzolla

"(...) with all its challenges, and the radiant, sunny freedom of the live recordings from the Martha Argerich Project in 21st-century Lugano. In the collegiate atmosphere of these shared concerts, Martha Argerich is once again able to feel free and happy, even when she is alone at the keyboard (...) But after all, for Martha Argerich is Lugano not principally like the dream of one big family?" 

[Jean-Jacques Hoffelé in the booklet]
