  • I love the way Pogorelich rounds off his phrases SO musically and something not many pianists today even bother doing. This man remains for me one of a handful of the most brilliant, most creative, most technically accomplished pianists I ever heard.

  • Superb! He is one of the most enthralling and musically expansive pianists of our time.

  • He is okay. I usually don't prefer his recordings, but this one is tolerable for me. As far as interpretation... I liked the dynamic contrast at the end, but felt it did not need to instantly be PPP after the recapitulation of the main theme. Seemed like it was loud for 1 minute, and quiet for 1 minute. Phrasing wasn't noticeable, especially at the part following the ostinato bass figures around 1 minute. He rushes through the climax and immediately back to the main theme. Bad and flat audio...

  • @billyguns2 You must be forgetting about Luganskj and Ashkenazy.

  • @billyguns2 I completely agree. He has a certain legato to his playing that seems reminiscent of the classical period. A lot of players nowadays seem to have a much more staccato, playful type of playing that seems to come from the romantic period. There's nothing wrong with that and I enjoy that in many cases (like Bartok) but in the case of a composer like Scriabin, I prefer a smooth, old fashioned, almost reverent way of interpreting it and Pogorelich does that beautifully.

  • @demosj , Yes, I couldn't agree more about both your comments.

  • @billyguns2 indeed, and how true

    It is rare and inspiring to see someone who breathes new life and creative discovery into the repertoire.

  • I love your interpretation of this piece.

  • This is the beat interpretation I have heard since my own... when I played this for my grad recital at Manhattan School of Music, 1986... you really felt the music... I hate when peeps just sound like technicians... no music... thanks. xoleah
