@JoannaMeier: It's impossible to reproduce precisely what a composer asks for. Is a forte majestic or aggressive, a piano alluring or chary, is a staccato light or fluffily or firm etc. there is enough leeway for interpretation without changing black into white, darkness into light..............

No one can play staccato like him. This is his unique interpretation. ;)

It's a mistery to me why such a genius has been left out from the great classical music biz, I mean theaters and recordings; why do we have to listen to anonymous automas instead of pure dramatic musical talent as Pogorelich? I cannot believe ECM - for instance - investing on Andras Schiff and not on him ...

Amazing. :)

I like the way Schumann quotes a lot of great composers in his work, I noticed Berlioz at 5:51, I enjoy the way that artists love to quote other masters in their compositions--that is recognizing their beauty and using it to create a musical montage that the artist is formed of appreciating. Beauty sings to Glory.

@tombennettpiano Ivo Pogorelich esegue tutto così al naturale. In sala di registrazione, i tecnici fanno nulla, il suo suono personale basta da solo. Il vero guaio in Pogorelich è quando si stordisce da solo con il suo autocompiacimento estroso. Ma con la Toccata di Schumann è splendente e limpida l'interpretazione, senza falsare !!!! Un cordiale saluto ..... da Torino.

I love how Pogoorelich plays slower than other pianisst but the music sounds so much more powerful and energetic because of the consistence and control of his tone. Is this a product of a recording savvy pianist or is his technique really that much better? or am I not hearing this right?

[darkblueangel1956]

Quando Ivo Pogorelich dimostra di essere un grande interprete, esegue l'opera pianistica magnificamente. Con la Toccata op. 7 di Schumann ha scelta la giusta misura tra la velocità, la nitidezza delle note e la freschezza del fraseggio. Anche le voci intermedie e al basso sono limpide e cantano con decisione e lucentezza. Non rimpiango il delirio estroso di Horowitz ........ o la geniale rudezza di Richter !!!!
