Scarlatti resided for about 20 years at a rich Spanish court, where -undoubtedly- were several pianofortes. De pianoforte -as the name says- allows dynamic in the volume, which is adding more emotion to the piece. Whether you like that is a matter of taste. I'm sure all composers in ancient times would have loved play the pianoforte.
...did not realize just how amazingly compatible is the Pogorelich tone/way of striking the keys...to Scarlatti...his pacing/attacks are a bit weird...but still the combination kinda addictive...other people's Scarlatti...begins to suck?..
I could not listen to Scarlatti on Piano before this incredible performer. Pogorelich is an absolute master of his art. Senor Scarlatti would love this guy.
From what I've read this was recorded in the Villa Caldogno located in Italy. There were two rooms in this villa used for recording a few of Ivo's videos. Just look up Villa Caldogno and read up on it.
...jedna zadivljujuca preciznost,idealan anschlag,brzina...predivno,jer ne treba zanemariti cinjenicu da je ovo djelo nastalo na cembalu...slusao sam mnoge interpretacije Scarlatti-a,ali Ivi Pogorelicu nisu ni do koljena...kako mi Bosanci kazemo-"bravo majstore"
@Jimmyocaca Perdón que pregunte pero ya viste especialistas?, ya tienes detectada las causas?, ya trataste imnosis, regresión, es por daño neuronal? en fin mira creo q la mente es enorme, y aun q aveces pueden pasar cosas no se tal vez hay forma de reencontrar lo perdido. Saludos.
@gabrielaparra1508 Thank you, yo viviendo al este del ciudad del Dublin,lejos de los doctors, viviendo solo por 15 anos, todo se olvida, no tener instruments no mas no practice
Lovely performance. Pogorelich is always crystal clear in Scarlatti. The expressive color comes not from any overly-Romantic interpretation, but from the colors of the piano itself.
Pogorelich's playing sounds like perfection. I know little about playing the piano but I noticed how Pogorelich holds his fingers vertically to the keyboard. If you watch Horowitz play, he holds his fingers horizontally (flat) on the keyboard. Both players achieve amazing results with such different styles.
@djg3619 ....yeah, that's true. The techniques are interesting. Just curious, though. You say you don't know much about the piano.....so what is your instrument? Which one do you play? (if any)
@brassmonkeyjew Excuse me? I can very well see and HEAR the piano... that's why I asked where the harpsichord is. . . .Last I checked this sonata is for harpsichord...and sounds best that way, though this interpretation is excellent.
Personne à ma connaissance n'a jamais joué aussi justement Scarlatti...ni réussi la gageure d'un équilibre parfait entre le phrasé et les timbres.C'est stupéfiant,ni Michelangeli ni Horowitz n'ont atteint ce naturel,ce délié si envoûtant....Pogorelich me fait découvrir un Scarlatti que j'écoute désormais à part entière,et non plus comme un bouche-trou de concert.
Je crois que les pianistes ont de quoi être gênés devant cette compréhension de l'oeuvre.
god, Why do people insist on Playing Scarlatti on Piano.........terrible. Although I love the Piano. It retches me to hear Baroque quartets with a pianist rather than a Harpsichord.

so what are you trying to say to me? are you saying my name is Brad? larry? well its not. you are being extremely offensive. Oh and just so you know.....I never have nor ever will eat fried cabbage with roasted liver shreds. So don't even go there.
hkpopfan4lif3, its not any better than sonys new brand of speakers, its just that the JBL's have a remade cone so they sound better. By the way, since when was it offensive to recite 3 poems in a day while eating Fetta cheese? your the offensive one.
ok shadowsofnineveh....WHAT is not any better than sony's new brand of speakers?
You are not referring to anything remotely relevant to what i was saying. what do ur so-called "poems" have to be about? soda? or beef? or maybe pennies with a small fraction of copper in them? or maybe even a red paperclip that turns into a house over time? ur clearly high off cheese
Your off-topic wavering of the mouth isn't going to make your....babble any effective
Interesting conversation going on here. I used to have an uncle named Brad who loved fried cabbage but wasn't so hot on liver shreds. He sure could play Scarlatti, though. He's dead now, which is probably best. He was a real jerk.
ich finde, auf dem Klavier klingt Scarlatti besser, weil man die Feinheiten besser hört. Auf dem Cembalo verschwimmt alles, weil die Saiten immer nachklingen. Damals hatten sie eben nichts anderes....
sry, schwachsinn. Klavier schwingt auch! das ist aber nicht der punkt, sondern scarlattis sonaten sind für das cembalo und DESSEN klang entstanden. die art und der ausdruck kommen meist nur am cemblao so zur geltung, gerade weil es transparent ist und "verschwimmt"; sicher, verschiedene interpretationen sind möglich und auch schön, aber das original bzw dem nachzueiefern ist immer noch das wichtigeste, wie ich finde!
If you think Weissenberg is superb then find recordings of Christian Zacharias and know how Scarlatti would have had them played......Sergei Babayan is also worth hearing.......
Wow, thanks for replying! it is sometimes very frustrating trying to find great performances, it's usually a 'blanket' approach, so this is wonderful to have direction to pursue.
have you heard the jazz banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck's recording of K.159? It sounds like it should be odd, on banjo, but it is arranged for banjo and lute, and is played as a classical guitar might. The tempo and presence feels very good, and the ambience and echos are very flattering to the performance.
after this fantastic interpretation, the other pianists seems drunk boxers; it is incredible how could be difficult to arrive at an accomplishment so clear and perfect!
I think especially this piece is an example for the brilliance scarlatti sonatas can get when played on the piano. this is an extraordinary well performed piece of art!
Can We say Our Hearts should beat like a Metronom;then our hearts would be "TOYs" too..
...but we can make music "a TOY"..put music into the "zero" point of being a toy,; or put music as was a "metronom" in US ,then let oUr SoulS "be'have" like AS They WiSH..; 4 "the metronom"(MUSİC,Made ToY..) can carry the..Rhythm..
-This means, if perForMerHasSOUL in hisMusic instead of a"metronom";then this will LiMiT;MySoulsFreedom-&makeMe"aMetronom";iNSTEAD..
Thought this was interesting in a relentless way. Aren't there different ways of playing Scarlatti even accepting that this is on a modern grand in any event?
Listen to Alexis Weissenberg's piano of K 450. Everything this is not. He varies tempo, attack, even blurs some notes, but it _sounds_ like scarlatti! Weissenberg performs in the true baroque spirit. Also, listen to his "rage over a lost penny" (sp?) by beethoven, it'll wear you out!

So "Does" this Boring stile; stay ;touched our brain;(our brain touched)& proceed "starts walking of a vision made of SOUND"..or a SOUND turn into vision, some time..
"Sound" on the right hand & "vision" on the left hand,,doubling our sense,for which one is A h e a d.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. In any case, there are different kinds of boredom. All great works of art are sometimes boring, because they are unfamiliar (both familiarity and unfamiliarity can cause boredom); the cure for this type of boredom is interpretation: understanding the "boring" removes the boredom. The other kind of boredom, the kind applicable to this performance, is the kind that's not hiding any secrets, and the only cure for that sort of boredom is escape from its cause.
I don't know If I understood your saying right,but I shall put my view anyway."interpretation" may be based on either "understanding composers doing" or "the listener".What I'm bored about is mostly the second one &interpretors mostly choose this way.I v o seems he doesn't.
I am curious about the way How ART of SOUND move.The Third thing ART itself.

I think him playing is very "sissy". Or maybe he is got out of his coffinn because he look very pale and sick. He is femalelike but not so much because him playing is very tut tut tut. It would not work for him to play a luxurious musik like this, but I say it that I think Scarlatti is luxurous music. He is Italian with Spain influence. He has got "hot blooded". This is very ice cold.
He is a little too big to be sissy..this means if he can be SiSSY,then there must be a talent for this..A EmpTY CANVAS; is PALe too.but then you can put any color on it; &this white-pale balance,make every color shine.& if dont content; bE Satisfied with these tu,tu, tut,;then soldiers heavy shoe's tut,tut,tut, comes to our country.
We need Spain to be Established in iCE-Land..agaiN.
It is important & (a real talent) to be abLE;to "STOP-ABSOLUT"..When writing, you stop ABSOLUT,& because these musical pieces are "written",then they need an approach with ABSOLUTE Standing..
İf he is a man MuMyfied in the history of Egypt then he is SWEEPing ;,coming from a long Way & on the road He MEETs Scarlatti; & very objective look to him; from true history.
When U can STOP ABSOLUTely; your SOUL Walks a way from U for it can not stop;FOR "this is called MUSiC;itself"..
I think Pogerelich has slowed a down a touch with maturity he's making the very best recordings around. You have to hear his English Suites. The hall he's playing has a slight echo but it's lovely, he holds back and at last I can really hear and enjoy the singing Scarlatti and not the pianist's technique so much.
I like it how people interpretet music differently. It becomes interesting, unique and worth listening. I hope to get my own spinet some day. I love the floor:p
If ElvesCreed were right, we would still all be playing drums and woodensticks since the stone age. This is called musical evolution. I am sure Mozart would in our time have been one of the greatest djs around...
all that discuss about piano/harpsichord seems a bit vain to me. Maybe am I very naïve, but what matters is if the music if beautiful or not methinks.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is disgusting, pianos wernt even around in the baroque period. this peice was intended for a harpsichord and anything that trys to substitute it is disgusting
Es algo muy fino y atinado este Scarlatti interpretado en piano, no obstante, los colores suaves y brillantes de un clave (clavecin) transmiten mucho mejor y permiten hacer "bailar" mejor a los ritmos, arpegios, trinos y motivos vivos de una composición de este tipo. Yo soy un convencido que tanto los organistas como los pianistas debemos pasar un buen tiempo en el clave para refinar nuestro toque.
petie32, If there's any more bitter medicine to snap one out of 17th-century pipe dreams than this performance, I don't know about it. Listening to Pogorelich dispatch this sonata the way a bored secretary would type out a memorandum re: keeping the area around the water cooler clean will always remind me that I'm stuck in the 21st century, the musical equivalent of the Dark Ages.
Mira, Vulgarcito, llevas razón en decirles mamucas a estos exquisitos de tercera, que luego ni saben lo que dicen, pero tampoco te proyectes cabroneando al Pogorelich, que su mucho trabajo le costó lllegar a dominar su oficio así. Respetar al verdadero mérito no es desdoro ni servilismo, sino muestra de una personalidad solida y conocedora... (órale, raza, me aventé, me aventé...). (De todos modos me dio gusto hallar a alguien que le gusta beber de la buena música, pero no en mamila...)
If I were being crass I might point out that this man most likely washes his mane with Pert plus, and that he neglects to use conditioner. But I don't want to be crass so I'll just say that his hands look like talons clutching a lemon sized invisible oculus. If I were to be even more crass, I might say that he plays as though just back from a trip to the john after his daily allowance of prune juice. Keep it regular folks.
You may be right in some of your appreciations, but, are they pertinent? What about if you stop seeing the video for a couple of times and hear the rendering of the work? That's the main thing, you know?
It's time to take on the trolls who reject a "mechanical interpretaion" to Baroque music. By "mechanical" I suppose they mean Ivo takes no rhythmic liberties with his Scarlatti or Bach. They are right - he does not. And well he should not! Baroque-era music was NOT about rubato and modern piano technique! It concerned exuberant emotional content checked by strict metrical control. If you want a Romantic interpretation of Baroque music, fine. But don't pretend that is how it should be performed.
I agree, imo it's harder to keep a constant bpm than put emotions wich are just ways to hide your incapacity of playing a parrt of the song with the correct tempo
If you put a robot to play music it is playing what you programmed it to play, hence, it is you that is playing. Baroque music is great in any capacity. It just should not be labeled "correct" unless it is played exactly as it was played in its time.
If they gave you an enema, you'd weigh ten pounds.
This is the Conservatory line. Again, there are countless examples in Baroque music, some even explicitly written out, that call for rubato. The distinction between Romantic, Classical, and Baroque "performance practice" was an invention of the Romantic Age. Your point is ahistorical, and exists only as a crumbling monument to the academic desire to classify things that are not classifiable.
If you were trying to be objective, you will agree that this is not really sterile, this word has an implicit judgement about the quality of the interpretation that is your personal opinion. It would probably be best described as calm and absent. And it appeals to some, yes. So why criticise this? This is music, no one will obligue you to listen to it. Perhaps historical accuracy equals fine taste? mmm... I do not think so. Interpretation is a creative task too.
Why would the pianist restrict itself to reproduce what the composer intended when he/she can add a new value and a different and interesting feeling to the piece?
Incredible

Amazing performance by my favorite pianist.
You should also listen to his Scarlatti CD also released on DG, outstanding performance as well.

Problem is,can We Say human was "a TOY"..
Can We say Our Hearts should beat like a Metronom;then our hearts would be "TOYs" too..
...but we can make music "a TOY"..put music into the "zero" point of being a toy,; or put music as was a "metronom" in US ,then let oUr SoulS "be'have" like AS They WiSH..; 4 "the metronom"(MUSİC,Made ToY..) can carry the..Rhythm..

Thought this was interesting in a relentless way. Aren't there different ways of playing Scarlatti even accepting that this is on a modern grand in any event?

Listen to Alexis Weissenberg's piano of K 450. Everything this is not. He varies tempo, attack, even blurs some notes, but it _sounds_ like scarlatti! Weissenberg performs in the true baroque spirit. Also, listen to his "rage over a lost penny" (sp?) by beethoven, it'll wear you out!

There was an event happened yesterday;& do you believe what you "heard" or what U "Saw",,for they were simultaneous..two at the same time.
I v o & Scarlatti makes repetitions; to be sure or put them apart for the true sound & true vision.(Truth or Fact put in sound & vision correctly)..

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. In any case, there are different kinds of boredom. All great works of art are sometimes boring, because they are unfamiliar (both familiarity and unfamiliarity can cause boredom); the cure for this type of boredom is interpretation: understanding the "boring" removes the boredom. The other kind of boredom, the kind applicable to this performance, is the kind that's not hiding any secrets, and the only cure for that sort of boredom is escape from its cause.

I don't know If I understood your saying right,but I shall put my view anyway."interpretation" may be based on either "understanding composers doing" or "the listener".What I'm bored about is mostly the second one &interpretors mostly choose this way.I v o seems he doesn't.
I am curious about the way How ART of SOUND move.The Third thing ART itself.
Here right hand is boring but left hand is interesting as what he tells Us,& understandable because right hand make a stable BASE..for it..

I think him playing is very "sissy". Or maybe he is got out of his coffinn because he look very pale and sick. He is femalelike but not so much because him playing is very tut tut tut. It would not work for him to play a luxurious musik like this, but I say it that I think Scarlatti is luxurous music. He is Italian with Spain influence. He has got "hot blooded". This is very ice cold.

He is a little too big to be sissy..this means if he can be SiSSY,then there must be a talent for this..A EmpTY CANVAS; is PALe too.but then you can put any color on it; &this white-pale balance,make every color shine.& if dont content; bE Satisfied with these tu,tu, tut,;then soldiers heavy shoe's tut,tut,tut, comes to our country.

I think Pogerelich has slowed a down a touch with maturity he's making the very best recordings around. You have to hear his English Suites. The hall he's playing has a slight echo but it's lovely, he holds back and at last I can really hear and enjoy the singing Scarlatti and not the pianist's technique so much.

this actually is on a public domain website, so i advise you not spend money on something you could simply print out.

when you get on the website, click on Scarlatti, then search down the list for the K number (450).

Es algo muy fino y atinado este Scarlatti interpretado en piano, no obstante, los colores suaves y brillantes de un clave (clavecin) transmiten mucho mejor y permiten hacer "bailar" mejor a los ritmos, arpegios, trinos y motivos vivos de una composición de este tipo. Yo soy un convencido que tanto los organistas como los pianistas debemos pasar un buen tiempo en el clave para refinar nuestro toque.

Mira, Vulgarcito, llevas razón en decirles mamucas a estos exquisitos de tercera, que luego ni saben lo que dicen, pero tampoco te proyectes cabroneando al Pogorelich, que su mucho trabajo le costó lllegar a dominar su oficio así. Respetar al verdadero mérito no es desdoro ni servilismo, sino muestra de una personalidad solida y conocedora... (órale, raza, me aventé, me aventé...). (De todos modos me dio gusto hallar a alguien que le gusta beber de la buena música, pero no en mamila...)

If I were being crass I might point out that this man most likely washes his mane with Pert plus, and that he neglects to use conditioner. But I don't want to be crass so I'll just say that his hands look like talons clutching a lemon sized invisible oculus. If I were to be even more crass, I might say that he plays as though just back from a trip to the john after his daily allowance of prune juice. Keep it regular folks.

juskisiberiano 4 years ago
It's time to take on the trolls who reject a "mechanical interpretaion" to Baroque music. By "mechanical" I suppose they mean Ivo takes no rhythmic liberties with his Scarlatti or Bach. They are right - he does not. And well he should not! Baroque-era music was NOT about rubato and modern piano technique! It concerned exuberant emotional content checked by strict metrical control. If you want a Romantic interpretation of Baroque music, fine. But don't pretend that is how it should be performed.
Ghost2499 4 years ago 2
I agree, imo it's harder to keep a constant bpm than put emotions wich are just ways to hide your incapacity of playing a parrt of the song with the correct tempo

Mussul 4 years ago
If you put a robot to play music it is playing what you programmed it to play, hence, it is you that is playing. Baroque music is great in any capacity. It just should not be labeled "correct" unless it is played exactly as it was played in its time.
hellois5letters 4 years ago
Then there will never be a "correct" performance of Baroque music since we have no idea how exactly it was played? Bach didn't make recordings.
Tripe. Stuff and nonsense.
smokeandrum 4 years ago
If they gave you an enema, you'd weigh ten pounds.
This is the Conservatory line. Again, there are countless examples in Baroque music, some even explicitly written out, that call for rubato. The distinction between Romantic, Classical, and Baroque "performance practice" was an invention of the Romantic Age. Your point is ahistorical, and exists only as a crumbling monument to the academic desire to classify things that are not classifiable.

"Ivo" garners extreme praise from all those who have suscribed to the notion of sterile mechanical purity as an aesthetic ideal.
This Modern notion of the baroque has zero to do with history,though we can't deny that sterility through abstinence appeals to some.
smithsherman 4 years ago
If you were trying to be objective, you will agree that this is not really sterile, this word has an implicit judgement about the quality of the interpretation that is your personal opinion. It would probably be best described as calm and absent. And it appeals to some, yes. So why criticise this? This is music, no one will obligue you to listen to it. Perhaps historical accuracy equals fine taste? mmm... I do not think so. Interpretation is a creative task too.

Why would the pianist restrict itself to reproduce what the composer intended when he/she can add a new value and a different and interesting feeling to the piece?
