This is my favorite interpretation of this piece. Pogorelich is the best! I have his Scarlatti CD. I noticed how he holds his fingers vertically to the keyboard. If you watch Horowitz, he holds his fingers horizontally (flat) on the keyboard. Both are masters, but with such different styles.
well, there is a connection between style, sound, and fingering. it's very instructive to read what Heinrich Neuhaus wrote on this topic in his The Art of Piano Playing.
Has anyone noticed the fingering of the left hand between 0:45 and 0:59? At first he uses one fingering in order to bring out certain notes with a certain sound; in the repeat of those same musical bars, he changes the fingering in order to achieve a softer and less accentuated sound. This is the kind of dedication this genius gives to the quality of sound!
Yes, I noticed his change of fingering straight away, it's excellent! He does it 3 other times too. Great to watch and to hear.
Could anyone please tell me which Scarlatti sonata begins with arpeggios descending in a major key through 3 octaves? Heard and loved it along with K159, decades ago lol, want to hear it again as well!
really nice observation! I know nothing about playing piano, but I can understand more of the genius that is in his technique, by looking at it after you point it out for me!
alala ! I like seeing these young recordings of him ! He is just SO beautifull to see and when he "mechanically " put his hands with so much precisions..look specially at the left..I pure inspiration !:)

Ghost's ramblings about "Exuberant Baroque and Strict Metrical control"show how little he knows of the Baroque.He's been reading 20th century conservatory manuals.
This is, of course in every famous piano pieces collection ever printed. So we all have an opinion. Me, too. It's too fast and percussive (no need on a Steinway). Not very charming. But I did admire his trills and found his hands interesting to watch.
A little heavy handed but masterfully done. Smith's comments are nothing but incoherant babble. He claims to reject "mechanical" interpretations of Baroque music. By this I suppose he means no rubato or sustaining pedal. If he does mean this, he is mistaken. Baroque music is music composed with exuberant emotional content checked by strict metrical control which is exactly how Pogorelich performs.
You need to play these sonatas instead of spouting a bunch of bullshit that you've read in academic textbooks. Have you ever listened to a harpsichordist play these pieces? When I was studying the harpsichord, I would have been beaten for playing that music like this.
Some pianists (not this one) really should play harpsichord because they cannot hit two notes together with the same intensity. With a piano you can hide rhythm with the pedal, with a harpsichord you can hide loudness differences if the meter is correct.
Nobody's perfect, but you don't put the 330 pounder in the band on piccolo.
Smith, you seem to have really strong negative opinons on Ivo's playing (at least in regards to Scarlatti). Just out of curiosity, who's scartlati interpretations do you enjoy?
Scarlatti on guitar? Why on earth should we listen to that if there are harpsichords (and piano's as alternative)? It's like Weiss lute sonatas transcribed for organ...
Scarlatti is actually more dificult and technical than in looks. Hard to play it as it should be played.
At first I started playing, I didn't know it is damn dificult. You sould listen to Dino Lipaati, playing Scarlatti, then you undrestand how beautiful it is.
igual que la tuya, por eso me llamó la atención. Lo que sí hacía yo es hacer los adornos desde la nota, pero fue una duda para mí también porque la escuche de otras maneras. Me gusta más con el fa # me parece igual eh... jeje
Ivo's amazing. Rumor has it that his brother, Lovro Pogorelich, who is teaching in Zagreb and has his own music school there, actually plays even better than Ivo does. It's worth checking out.

is it necessary to change fingering to achieve a different sound? i never found it so myself.

Back off dude. K141 is a guitar (actually 2 guitar) piece and is quite clumsy on keyboard. Check out the pieces and I think you will agree.
You don't see Horowitz, etc playing it, only Argeich and she's nuts. Good but nuts.

Dear Zico, On youtube I enjoy Marchionda's Scarlatti on guitar.I enjoy Barda's Scarlatti on piano.And of course Horowitz's.
I reject the possible validity of mechanical interpretation as a viable baroque or even human reality.
