For the first time in ten years, Martha Argerich performed Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. Argerich has been dominating the piano scene since the 1960s thanks to a wide and varied repertoire, never conformist. Her phenomenal technique and great sensitivity have allowed her to stamp her mark on the most demanding works of the repertoire. She is very familiar with the Verbier Festival, and she opened the 2014 edition with the famous Concerto for piano No. 1 by Tchaikovsky, with conductor Charles Dutoit, musical director of the Verbier Festival Orchestra. This milestone performance also presented Brahms's first symphony (Beethoven's Tenth, according to Hans von Bulow).
