I. Pogorelich Plays Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition (1/5)

[YuriElDiablo]

Promenade should be played slowler, deeper... my rendering of Promenade is definitly different.

But Gnomes... pure awesomeness

[musicstructure]

Dear Ivo, I know you will have soon recital in Zagreb. It would be nice to know you, you play divine. Listen that wonderful attack at 1:42, only you can do this. And again, 2:36, those nice two melodies and supporting background. 3:33, 4:08, and 4:40, so wonderful. and 5:17 sad and lonely

bit slow i prefer kissins

[wanderingnome]

The best version on Youtube, hands down. I've done a lot of looking, but I keep coming back to this one--everything is, to my ears, right.

[pauclaris2000]

Rien de tel qu'une âme sublime pour interpréter toute musique. De Scarlatti à Prokofiev. Ou Mussorgsky. Je recommande (malgré le son détestable d'un enregistrement manifestement pirate) la version de "Andaluza" (Granados) par Ivo, audible (si le mot convient) sur youtube.

Incredible. The Colours!

[Verityseo]

years ago, I heard him playing this in live, and what an evening it was. no one dare to cough during the interval. his mastery of pedaling, textural variety, vigorous deliverance of each picture's pictoral narrative..during the intermission, everyone(ny audience, if you know what i mean)was literally gasping in awe.

nope it isnt

[Adrianoci]

Thank you for your colors and breaths.

For me the best performance

[littlerainworm550]

bit slow....but VERY SPECIAL SOFT sound

[12345qazx1]

but Richter s take is a bit too noisy

[UWSResident]

One only has to listen to a few notes of this performance to be aware that it is in a class of its own. Pogorelich's sound quality alone is in a special category. As for the interpretation, its sheer originality can only be equalled by the very greatest artists, such as Richter.

[12345qazx1]

you are so right!!

[tillo1995]

in the promenade, the left hand is too loud and it is too slow.

In the Gnomus the "poco meno mosso" is too slow too I think...

i prefer Richter ;)

[cheapmoms]

As much as I love Pogorelic, I thought the Gnomus was histrionic in some parts. Other than that, great as usual.

[SuhachiChutchen]

I would say this is the best interpretion of Pictures at an Exhibition

[sNidLeBoP]

totally agreeee

[chopinhorowitz]

the critics says that it is the best

[chacoteris]

This is superb! Pogorelich in better times...
