Martha Argerich was born in Buenos Aires in 1941. At 3, she played the piano for the first time. Two years later, she began taking piano lessons with Vicenzo Scaramuzza. At 8, she made her concert debut in Buenos Aires, performing works by Mozart, Beethoven and Bach.She performed in Buenos Aires' Astral and Colón theatres. In 1955, she moved with her family of diplomats to Vienna in order to allow her to study piano with outstanding teachers.In 1957, at 16, Martha Argerich won both the Geneva International Music and the Bolzano Competitions. She embarked on an intensive program of concerts.Martha Argerich rose to fame with her interpretations of the virtuoso piano literature of the 19th and 20th centuries. But her repertoire ranges from Bach to Bartók. She is probably the only pianist capable of setting her own conditions in the music market, recording only what she wants and with different labels.
