Bloody Daughter – Stéphanie Argerich.

The mother through the daughter’s eyes – A family portrait blending intimate conversations, agreements and disagreements, and shared ties of sounds and blood. An intimate portrait of two musical giants.

This documentary by Martha Argerich and Stephen Kovacevich’s daughter Stéphanie has been filmed in several countries: Poland, where Martha Argerich chairs the judges of the International Chopin competition and gives several recitals with her close friend Nelson Freire; Japan, at the unique Argerich festival; the United Kingdom, where Stephen Kovacevich, the father of Stéphanie, lives; Belgium, where Martha and Stéphanie lived together for several years; Argentina, where Martha was born (in Buenos Aires); Switzerland, where Martha and Stéphanie are currently living; France, where the grandmother’s apartment still houses valuable treasures.

Made up of documentary sequences focusing on the two characters of Martha and Stephen in their everyday lives, in rehearsal and in performance, the film will be largely given over to intimate conversations (filmed by Stephanie herself, alone or with one or other of her parents), delicious anecdotes, and a few scenes in which we will see the family reunited.

How often do you get to hear an awesome new piece for four alphorns and orchestra? Plus an excellent Mozart Piano Concerto and a Haydn Symphony. Great concert.

Playing concerts has always had, for me, an element of torture. It is heart-breaking to arrive at a concert extremely well-prepared, to know that you're gifted and to have the event just disappear. But why someone is not their own best friend on certain occasions is a complicated issue.
