  • Pogorelich was playing this Sonata recently at the concert in Porec/Croatia (28 July 2009) demonstrating the same level of delicacy and imagination as 25 years ago!

  • Absolutely astounding!

  • what can they take those giants hands? a 12th?

  • ..."such-and-such "owns" this or that" shit is definitely out of control on the YT...if you go to the trouble of listening to a reasonable no. of Horowitz doing the Op. 53, and there quite a few of those around here, he blows a number of them like bad...here Ivo is a bit on the precious-mannered side, and actually hits some clinkers...but, fuck, yes...this is kind of irresistible...but "owns"?...try to cut that kind of crap out...if you can manage it...

  • Ivo owns this sonata as much as Horowitz owns the Polonaise op. 53; namely, totally.

  • @BMX90 : So my little brother, the musician, tells me. He lived next door to Ivo, in Dumfrieshire.

  • @theMacvarish Are you serious? 12? That's almost rachmaninoff's reach!...

  • why oh why......my god why there is almost nobody who understands him?? I am CRYING!! over his every and each lingering note i feel absolutely the same while i play....but yes i will not even TRY to describe this. It is such that there are absolutely no words to express such an ideal of passion,love,music,life...I love this, i love life !

    Once upon a time, there was a pianist performing in Japan.... :)

  • its great to see such passion but we don't listen with our eyes

  • @103forpeace honestly what is stranger is the fact that people actually can conceive of a musician as something to "root for", as if art has something whatever to do with being on the German, Italian, Croatian, French or Spanish teams or whatever. Given how many millions of people the "civilized" nations murder every year you'd think people would finally quit trying to appropriate peaceful ideas to some team or another.

  • I liked very much Ipublica's comment that he may be too sensitive for today's musical establishment. We see more and more the emphasis on a perfect performance rather than the expression of the soul like Pogorelich gives. I would rather hear one mistake per page of written music played with true passion than a thousand pages played to perfection without anything real being said. Unfortunately many who believe they preserve classical music are actually killing it.

  • He really is one of the most sensitive and imaginative pianists. You never hear the nonsense of the academy in his playing, always the fire.
