Live at Lugano, 2006

Throughout her career Martha Argerich has nurtured and promoted rising stars of the classical music world. She continues to create many rich chamber music partnerships with them, always discovering new and exciting performer combinations. The four previous releases recorded at her Progetto Martha Argerich in Lugano have demon-strated the high quality of the performances: the 2005 release of “Live from the Lugano Festival" was nominated for the 2006 Grammy Awards. Although this album was recorded at the 2006 Lugano festival, it is a new all-Shostakovich disc with the main work being a concerto rather than chamber music, something the Argerich fans have had to wait for for a long time! In the concerto, she teams up with the outstanding young trumpeter Sergei Nakariakov and the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana under Alexander Verdernikov. Martha Argerich is joined in the other Shostakovich works by some familiar collaborators: Virgin Classics artist Renaud Capucon, by cellist Mischa Maisky and pianist Lilya Zilberstein, to name but a few.
