In the case of this Martha Argerich LP, SC has a real winner. The original Tulips disc (up until 1970 DGG LPs had a border of yellow tulips round the label edge) was good, but lacked attack and presence, and the dynamic range was limited, whereas the Speakers Corner disc is slightly more forward in terms of balance, has an extended dynamic range, and tremendous presence. All off the ranges are integrated, the bass is deep and controlled, and the treble is very full. Quite clearly modern amplification, cutting heads, and, presumably different equalisation, have revealed layers of sound that were only partially realised on the original LP. - Classical Source

There’s fluidity and flow to Argerich’s playing that is surely hard to come by. So much nuance and detail, and violent dynamics. It’s lovely to hear her take command of the entire show, as she’s an orchestra to herself. If you’re in it for virtuosity, you’re in the right vein.The folks at Speakers Corner utilize zero digital components in their mastering process  The sonics on this record are immense. It’s as if the piano spans the entire giant stage. So much depth of tone, and so much air in the highs. Transparency for days. A focused listen is truly transportive. The pressing is pristine so the listener won’t be jolted from their reverie by any distortions or imperfections. Cleanings are required before every go in order to maintain that flawlessness. Do whatever it takes to enjoy this release in its finest presentation. It’ll give back every time. Highly recommended. Sound 5/5 Hifidelity

The debut recording by the Argentinian pianist Martha Argerich took the public by the storm all over the world – and the applause has still not subsided! A mere glance at the repertoire shows that she was reaching for the stars. To bring five composers together on an LP of roughly 45 minutes length means nothing other than speaking five different musical languages – and Martha Argerich proves herself a master of them all!
