After 16 great years, this year's Progetto Martha Argerich in Lugano will be the last. And looking at the programme, one thing is certain: it's going out with a bang! Not only is star mezzo soprano Cecilia Bartoli performing in two concerts, Martha Argerich herself is bringing back Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit for only the second time - she performed 'Gaspard' once in Beppu in May this year - in 33 years!!!
