Dead link report

The link to Freire's homepage seems to be broken. Anyone knowing the correct link is invited to correct it. Wikispaghetti (talk) 13:11, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Style?

Every other Hollywood movie gets a substantial "Critical response" section, but for him all we have are two polite remarks: "decorous piano playing" and "interpretive depth". "Decorous" almost sounds like hidden critique. All the rest looks more like an application CV, listing achievements. For a musician, or any artist, the style is the essence, not the awards.

Substantial Expansion using ptwiki as base and expanding further

This article was substantially expanded and revised using the existing English article together with material translated or adapted from the Portuguese Wikipedia article.

The expansion added fuller coverage of Freire's early life, international career, recordings, collaborations with Martha Argerich, filmed and biographical portrayals, awards, personal life, death and legacy.

The article was also restructured with a fuller infobox, additional images, expanded references, further reading, see also links, portals, authority control and categories.

The prose was revised for English Wikipedia style, with an effort to avoid close translation, overgeneralized phrasing and unsupported claims. Additional citations were added throughout, including artist biographies, newspaper obituaries, recording-label pages, competition pages, award pages and other cultural sources.

Further review by musicologists, pianists or editors familiar with Freire's career would be welcome, especially for possible gaps in his performances, awards, recordings and pianistic style. - Thanks a lot, Dan Daniel G. Rego (talk) 21:09, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
