This 1980 recording features Martha Argerich, known as the "fiery pianist," working on Bach's keyboard works.
In contrast to the austerity of the harpsichord, this is a thrilling Bach performance that makes the most of the possibilities of the modern piano. Argerich's unique blend of boldness and delicacy creates a brilliant and unique masterpiece.
Argerich's interpretation of Bach is characterized by an emphasis on vitality rather than strictness. In the opening Toccata, her free-flowing, improvisational style and sharp articulation leave a striking impression. In the fugue section, each voice is clearly defined, while the driving force that maintains the tension is striking.
