An All-Schumann Programme as highlight of the Schumann Year 2006. Martha Argerich has long been hailed as one of the greatest and most uniquely imaginative pianists. This legendary Argentinean musician is surrounded by an aura of mystery: some find her too uncompromising, others generous and beautiful, yet to all she is without doubt incredibly talented! When Argerich and Chailly performed the Schumann Piano Concerto it created a musical sensation!
