Deutsche Grammophon Releases All-New Recordings from Pianist Martha Argerich, 10/30

Since 2002 Martha Argerich's Progetto at the Lugano Festival has brought together many notable artists for memorable concerts of chamber and orchestral music. This deluxe 4-CD set offers a rich selection of live (mostly) concerto recordings, all with Martha Argerich and all first-time releases.
