  • Pogorelich digs deep.

    Everything he does, whether we like it or not, is masterly. He understands the inner voice and measured workings of music. For me, Pogorelich sees through page to define the hidden meaning within every note of every phrase of every piece he plays. He electrifies. Even at his most eccentric he can do no wrong by me. I believe he is one of the greatest musical minds of our time.

  • He feels every note to his soul. Wonderful performance. Outstanding.

  • This is for me the best interpretation of this ballad since there is much contrast between the soft/slow parts and the loud/fast parts. I love the abrupt silence following the last note in coda and his pause prior to resuming the ending (main) theme, now in minor key. his playing is like an interplay of war and peace. love this ballad.

  • @kzelmer ...you sort of got it wrong: Pogorelich is here teaching others how to play their Chopin BETTER...

  • @fredericfranc

    Youtube: the only place in the net where you can find an anonymous person trying to teach Pogorelich how to play Chopin.

  • Yeah he made a couple mistakes earlier as well :P

  • I like the way he ended the stormy coda as if letting the last high note instantly stop and plink out. The mood of this ballad is about abrupt/sudden interplay between the extreme feelings of quietude and agitation without gradual transitions in both tempodynamics. The E to Am chord ending is also played very emotional. I just felt the tragic recapitulation of the original Fmaj theme now being played in its Aminor counterpart. IMO,this ballad is a more appropriate wartheme than the 1st balad.

  • @4mithrandir You call them Martha and Ivo ? lol...
