Rachmaninoff Moment Musical Op16No1(1/2) Ivo Pogorelich, Live 2003

2003 Live concert recording.Sergei Rachmaninoff Moment Musical Op16No1(1/2) played by Maestro Ivo Pogorelich(1958). The recording of this recital is dedicated to the memory of Ivo Pogorelich´s mentor, teacher, and wife, Alice Kerezade, who lovingly passed on to him the tradition of the Liszt-Siloti school, before her untimely death in 1996. This recording pays homage to this exceptionally refined, vissionary, and truly revolutionary woman, who made Pogorelich a unique artist of genius.

Ivo Pogorelich is an artist of the highest caliber, discipline, and musicianship. He is the archetype of the modern artist, the isolated and courageus master, who finds his own way to new heights of expression, no matter the prejudices or the barriers of misunderstanding raised against him. He stands alone at the beginning of a new epoch like a prophet, mapping the routes that art would take.

Pogorelich´s cathartic and mystical sound, is concerned with the ultimate mysteries that transcend this world. His grandiose, colossal and majestic art, symbolizes the struggle of the human soul to find release from the bonds of its material body.
His exquisite and overwhelming music continues to echo throughout the entire performance and beyond, so the action is at once momentary, eternal and complete.

Pogorelich´s interpretations are indescribably beautiful and irresistible. His sound is pure poetry and extremely emotional, yet entirely unsentimental. We are hypnotazed by his new and radical naturalness, by his nobility, dignity, severity and sobriety; transporting us to states of wonder, ecstasy, meditation, love and compassion.

Sound and Silence, Life and Death, Time and Space; collapse into the Eternal moment of Infinity.

What a peculiar interpretation! He doesn't really follow many of the directions in the score. But it does has a strange magical quality, it almost sounds as if it's being improvised in front of us! I'm very glad such a risk-taking pianist exists when everyone nowadays sounds so similar.

Thanks a lot for this.

This' an unbelievable interpretation of this work !

Can I ask where you recorded this ? I have a version from Englewood, NJ, same year, worst sound quality, almost same lenght (compared to 2001 in Utrech) but, in my opinion, much better concentration of Ivo.

Anda, si además eres español XD. Pues tienes muy buen gusto musical, desde luego.

Estos Momentos Musicales son de lo mejor que he oído tocado en piano jamás. Aunque de esta última etapa de Pogorelich mi pieza preferida es el Intermezzo de Brahms, mi ipod dice que lo he escuchado 39 veces...
