This last may be the quality that sets her apart. A lot of pianists play huge double octaves; a lot of pianists photograph well. But few have the unerring naturalness of phrasing that allows them to embody the music rather than interpret it."''</ref> +In the same year, she made her first recording, including works by [[Frédéric Chopin|Chopin]], [[Johannes Brahms|Brahms]], [[Maurice Ravel|Ravel]], [[Sergei Prokofiev|Prokofiev]], and [[Franz Liszt|Liszt]]. A few years later she recorded Chopin's [[Piano Sonata No. 3 (Chopin)|Sonata No. 3]], [[Polonaise Op. 53 (Chopin)|Polonaise, Op. 53]], and other short works. Her technique is considered amongst the most formidable of her time, inviting comparison with [[Vladimir Horowitz]]. Indeed, her early recordings (made at age 19) of such competition mainstays as Prokofiev's ''[[Toccata (Prokofiev)|Toccata]]'' and Liszt's ''Sixth [[Hungarian Rhapsodies|Hungarian Rhapsody]]'' remain yardsticks for these works. Although some critics say she has exaggerated dynamics and tempi, her playing is characterised by her passionate and unique sound. -Her performance of [[Piano Concerto No. 1 (Liszt)|Liszt's First Piano Concerto]] conducted by [[Daniel Barenboim]] at [[The Proms]] 2016 prompted this review in ''[[The Guardian]]'': "It was an unforgettable performance. Argerich celebrated her 75th birthday in June this year, but that news doesn’t seem to have reached her fingers. Her playing is still as dazzling, as frighteningly precise, as it has always been; her ability to spin gossamer threads of melody as matchless as ever. This was unmistakably and unashamedly Liszt in the grand manner, a bit old-fashioned and sometimes even a bit vulgar at times, but in this of all concertos, with [[Barenboim]] and the orchestra following each twist and turn, every little quickening and moment of expressive reflection, it seemed entirely appropriate."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/aug/18/west-eastern-divan-orchestra-barenboim-argerich-review-prom-43-royal-albert-hall |title=West-Eastern Divan Orchestra/Barenboim/Argerich review – extraordinary in every respect|newspaper=The Guardian|date=August 18, 2016 |accessdate=November 15, 2016}}</ref> +Argerich has often remarked in interviews of feeling "lonely" on stage during solo performances.
