MMM | Martha Argerich & Daniel Barenboim

This is the first time the two musicians perform together in the city of their birth: a home game for them and one for which Argentinians had long awaited.

The Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires had not been so packed for a long time - it seemed to burst at the seams. Works by Mozart, Schubert and Stravinsky were followed by frenetic encores and so, partly accompanied by three musicians of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, Argerich and Barenboim presented Schumann's Variations for two pianos, Rachmaninoff's Suite No. 2 and pieces by Guastavino and Millhaud. A true magic moment of music.

Interviews with Daniel Barenboim, Lang Lang, Elena Bashkirova, Gabriela Montero, Kian Soltani, and Mischa Maisky, among others.
