  • @klavierflame No other pianist brings out the narrative of Ondine--seductive, super natural, treacherous water spirit with childish laughter with adult sadness-- better than this guy. Listen to the climax where ondine throws herself into the depth of water for doomed love, and also her tear drops in tres lent section in the end(A-G#, then resolved to A again). This guy makes you vicariously feel her despair(her kind) in a way no one does. agree with him or not, you can't resist the affect.

  • I have never met IP, never even seen another photo, was not even aware of all the hype surrounding him. I do not even play the piano (not seriously anyway), I am a doctor and ex scientist. But I know when I am listening to something outstanding.

  • this version sends chills down my spine

    pogorelic is a true master of interpreting program music

    beautiful

  • @fledgehog Grow up!!! It is too early for your to understand Pogorelich!

  • @ClaytonsVids I hope you realize HOW RIGHT YOU ARE!!!

  • "He dint play it like everyone else does! Boohoohoo!!!!"

    IP is pure, breath-taking genius. The self-styled connoisseurs will never admit it but what they really hate is his clarity and fearlessness and how accessible he makes the Holy Canon of Elite Music which the Unwashed Masses Cannot Possibly Appreciate. IP is one of a tiny number of truly gifted living pianists; those who complain about his playing are nobodies who will be quickly forgotten by history.

  • WOW! wonder where Pogorelich got the idea to bring out those strange inner voices in the climax? Claudio Arrau!! at 4:00 here:

  • Quelle belle inventivité à la main gauche de la part du pianiste, à partir de 5:20 : +/- re/mi - re/do - sol/fa - la/sol etc. (ou équivalent, à 1/2 ou 1 ton près, je n'ai pas la partition devant moi). Ravel aurait certainement été d'accord pour ces accentuations, vous ne pensez pas ? Moi, j'adore, c'est très fort, tellement inattendu et grandiose à la fois, parfaitement à sa place. Merci, monsieur Pogorelich !

  • for the most part it's treacherously slow, but the big climax around 5:20 is amazing at this tempo
