    Why can only Pogorelich get that beautiful, percussive yet feather-lite sound.

    Wow! I’m just discovering! For me this is the most beautiful version I know! Everything I love in Rachmaninov! Harmonies never saturate, even in the strongest extreme. The phrase and rubato are just beautiful as I want to receive them. Thank you ADGO.

    Heartbreaking, the hymns of thunder and redemption…
    Along with Argerich, Keith Jarrett and the up-and-coming Tiffany Poon, Ivo is, by far, my favorite artist...
    Without fault, invariably so - the true champion of the Chopin Competition -Ivo has been courageously uncompromising and fearlessly lyrical in most, if not all, of the recitals he's performed in, since his controversial attendance at Warsaw, 1980.
    His playing is remarkable, in its simplicity. In its technical versatility.
    A cornerstone to his playing, his wistfulness.
    Whereby, he seeks to fluently imprint his own uniquely bespoke approach - a daring, searingly emotive style, sometimes unforgiving; sometimes unexpected, though always customarily heartfelt.
    ... live recitals appear to afford him the chance to celebrate into reified existence the compositions of the romantics... allowing Ivo to showcase the sincere exhibition of his own precise, delicate sensibilities…
    It's like hearing the juxtaposition of both something fierce and something born from tenderness...
    ... as a fan of the well-assembled artistic portrayals and interpretations of light and darkness, that is nothing short of spellbinding.

      @@edwindepianist Almost certainly. That being said, I do think his new style is important: since it so radically breaks from the norm, it can show a completely different beauty in piece. For example, Scriabin's 4th sonata: his old interpretation is breathtaking (especially the first movement), but his new interpretation shows the inherent longing in the harmonies and natural insanity Scriabin so masterfully incorporated in his mid to late works. When I have the patience for it, I think his new interpretation is better.

He's an eccentric, sure. He's released some stuff that really just doesn't "work", sure. But the stuff that does is magic. His touch, his huge range of tone and dynamics, are off-the-charts insane. I'll just say he's an "outlier" and leave it at that. His Gaspard is top 5 for sure, up there with Michelangeli, Argerich, anybody.

    That attention to detail is still here in 2019.

    I wish he played with more of this fire consistently in other repertoire. His Tchaikovsky Concerto No. 1 is one of the dullest recorded along with the Chopin 2nd Concerto, as are many of his other recordings. Even his Liszt Sonata is lacking. Yet, his Gaspard de la Nuit and this recording right here are extremely impressive.

    • @andream.464
      @andream.464 Před 7 lety +14

      Funny because I find his Tchayko 1 to be the best ever recorded lol! No show off; just pure music by him and Maestro Abbado! I like also his Chopin 2: the phrasing and the whole conception of the piece is outstanding though I can understand it may appear un-chopinesque to somebody

    • @classicalalways
      @classicalalways Před 7 lety +3

      What you say is actually very funny, as his opening movement is one of the most stretched of any in history - and one you will be hard pressed to find in anyone's (or any publication's) listing of top performances. Not because critics are right, but atleast there are people who do not disagree with me. Meanwhile, it was this very issue that got him in trouble in Philadelphia in the Rachmaninoff 2nd Concerto where because he did not like the New York Times Review, he canceled his NY performance. Since then, he American career has been non-existent. As for Europe, how he ends up playing on stage the way he does these days and that presenters want such performances is beyond my comprehension.

    • @rigel48
      @rigel48 Před 7 lety +2

      I would not say that his Tchaikovsky PC1 is one of the dullest, but it is certainly not the best ever recorded, simply because Pogorelich does not respect what Tchaikovsky wrote, especially in the Allegro con spirito.

    • @dvdlpznyc
      @dvdlpznyc Před 4 lety +2

      classicalalways the crazy bits in the first movement of the Tchaikovsky have probably never sounded better, but he also had to adjust to the view of the conductor at that point, and at that point the conductor’s view of the tchaikovsky left a lot to be desired for many... similar to Karajan / Kissin’s...
