John Smyth writes concering Earl Wild's comment about Martha Argerich:
>Oh, I don't know.... In fact, Argerich *does* push and pull on the music
>quite a bit.
If John is correct, that's a consious decison on Argerich's part. Wild
stated that she "can't play eight bars in the same tempo. His statement
goes to her *ability* to play in the same tempo for eight bars.
I love Wild's recorded performances, and he's been an institution for
many decades. However, his statement about Argerich is plainly incorrect
and insulting.
