The piece The Myth of Prometheus performed by Martha Argerich is Stravinsky's "Prometheus: The Poem of Fire". It is a work composed for piano and orchestra, inspired by the Greek myth of Prometheus, who defied the gods to bring fire to humanity. The piece is known for its striking use of color, rhythm, and dynamic contrasts, and Argerich's virtuosic performance highlights the work’s intensity and dramatic flair. Argerich, shuns the limelight but this electrifying live performance is superb.
