@712Stephen ...note the peculiar expression of pain(?) and disdain(?) on his face when he gets up from the piano, and certain unease in the audience's reaction...this artist is not trying to be a crowd pleaser, but his "fuck you" attitude is perhaps aimed at the jury, largely, and it is this that Miss Argerich liked (she was on the jury)...note Jimi's H's fondness for saying "fuck you" at the audience, presumably in a vaguely friendly way, but maybe not, I hope so, anyway...

@fredericfranc He does seem a bit tense in the shoulders, and I noticed his joints, in the left hand especially, contort into a very tense position during octave passages, but he nevertheless does a stellar job.

good god his playing gives me goosebumps

...the man above talks about the other performers being robotic. Actually Pogorelich strikes me as being here very contrived, deliberate, like he has or knows only one way of playing this piece and it is THIS. Still HIS way of being contrived is not bad...but the "hard toil" shows a little bit too much...

I will never understand why the professional critic class always rated Pogorelich poorly. The man just plays the music as he feels it, without excess and with unimpeachable technique. His delivery puts most others to shame... I won't name names but more than a few of the top performers deliver Chopin in an almost robotic fashion. Without measured, tasteful rubato, Chopin's music sounds farcical. With proper delivery, it is ethereal... unsurpassed, really.
