Joseph Haydn, Piano Sonata No. 19, D-major, Ivo Pogorelich

[@tobiolopainto]

Extraordinary performance. Something I noticed while listening to this is that Pogorelich lightens his touch so that the modern Steinway piano becomes sort of like a piano from Haydn's time. These older pianos didn't require the monumental touch that contemporary pianos can demand. (And it must be remembered that if a pianist were to lighten his touch enough, he or she'd be unable to push down the keys at all!). Pogorelich's touch in this piece is amazingly "light" though light might not be the right word. The scale-work and the trills amaze!

Ivo Pogorelich converts Haydns music into poetry !🎶🌹🍀🌻💖💖💖

[@lancevance60]

It is already poetry.

So musical, so alive, so personal. One of the greatest pianists.

[@GOATPoets]

We hear here Beethoven's mentor - fitting that Beethoven's first sonata is dedicated to Haydn (the tonal debt is clear).Also check out Haydn Sonatas (52/62 or 48/58) ... an underrated master, Haydn :) Thank you for uploading!!

[@jacquesbrodeur5703]

This simply a an extraordinary performance. Everything is perfect: the phrasing, the nuances, etc. The first mvt contains hilarious musical moments. This is my desert island record. Thank you for having posted this masterpiece played impeccably. Martha Argerich was right when she walked out of a piano competition because the other judges dismissed him. Ms Argerich was so right!

[@arnoldvdwaals]

Thanks for your nice words Jacques

Although I‘m a Vietnamese who also finds that Mr. Dang deserved the gold medal 🥇, I still can not deny Mr. Pogorelic‘s true genuine. Extraordinary is exactly the word, but it was also the reason why he was dismissed. But as you can see now, Mr. Pogorelic is even more well-known than the winner one.

[@hazelford3358]

Perfection! Genius composer and genius pianist.

[@harrycoo5739]

The old recordings of Pogorelic like this one are among my absolute favorites, interpretations of a true maestro. He adds his unexplicable touch of genius originality and freshness to the already wonderful music.

[@arnoldvdwaals]

Thanks!

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

i cannot add anything to the below commentators. just to say, this is the best haydn i have ever heard...i listen to it all the time. ditto his scarlatti!

[@mmbmbmbmb]

Listening to Ivo Pogorelich is always an adventure ~ thank you !

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

It is difficult to find new superlatives to add to those below (in whatever language) for this breathtaking performance of an imaginative and highly original sonata written astonishingly, as early as 1767. Simply outstanding.

[@arnoldvdwaals]

Thanks Elaine!

Прелестная соната в прекрасном исполнении! Приятный вечер!

[@PearlofG]

Une interprétation tellement incroyable !!!!!!!

[@arnoldvdwaals]

Merci!

[@albertomartin4812]

What a story writer Haydn was, and what a story teller Pogorelich is. I'm tempted to say that Ivo's recordings of Haydn sonatas are my favourites of his.

[@arnoldvdwaals]

Thanks for your nice words

[@jonathanhos6031]

Very much agree

Спасибо. Замечательное исполнение. Блестящее.

[@meimeilin5370]

I’m gonna be in a piano competition, and I’m gonna play the last one, it inspires me so much!

Good luck!

Breathtaking and soothing

Thanks Harvey!

like it, love it, can see the child behind haydn, ivo, sound...inocence

[@arnoldvdwaals]

Thanks

[@paulprocopolis]

Miraculous pianism, if stylistically as much Pogorelich as Haydn!

[@anngreenfield6016]

thank you. made my afternoon.

[@arnoldvdwaals]

My pleasure Ann!

[@joaoantonio-md9jz]

There are other compositions from Haydn whose pianist forget. I don't know why!! For example: Variations in e flat minor Hob 45. FANTASTIC piece!!! But with rare footages. John Mc Cabe( " Mr Haydn", 9in my opinion) made one perfectly!!! Sorry for my " brasilian english".

[@evamaier7973]

You are so right, Haydn is endlessly surprising and inventive.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

I presume you mean Haydn’s Andante con variazione in f minor Hob. XVII:6 which is probably the greatest set of variations of the Classical period (c.1750-1800).

[@brunoszwajcer6404]

Le phrasé est impeccable. La compréhension de l'oeuvre apparaît clairement. Cela pétille.

[@excelsior999]

Ivo is a genius

[@arnoldvdwaals]

Any chance of knowing the painter’s’ names of the beautiful illustrations?

[@arnoldvdwaals]

No sorry, taken form the internet

[@petercrosland5502]

Can help with the second one, took me ages to find it. It is Russian and is called " Windmill by the sea ". Artist is Iwan Konstantinowitsch Aiwasowski Do you see Don Quixote in this? Will work on the other 2, I listen to this a lot.

[@markhughes7927]

Peter Crosland Thank you - that is very kind of you. It is a wonderful sonata - I discovered here by chance pursuing Pogorelich - and I can hardly believe that I have not come across it before - it is so full of depth. I think there are hunters on the hill in the last movement since first responding. I guess that the painting is Flemish - only a guess - I notice that the lady is on a plane which doesn’t confront the ‘suitor’ looking in through the hatch-way. She seems of dark intent - a lost world suggested by the black whorl in her sleeve - and that she has something else on her mind other than her suitor or her lord - the first of whom will get nothing and the second of whom will lose all! Perhaps I read too much into it - but am I mistaken in thinking that she is pregnant!

[@petercrosland5502]

@@markhughes7927 Hi Mark, think you are in right area with the first one. first guess would be Rodgier van der Weyden or Jan Van Eyck but haven't found it yet....will keep triyng. think the pregnant look was fashionable, you can see it in Van Eyck's Arnolfini wedding, People who knew them say she wasn't! The more I look the more I think it is a fragment which means it is possibly Breughel and as some of his works have a cast of thousands it may take a while. If you want a laugh have a look at the Ugly Duchess by Quinten Massys from this period. All the best keep taking the Haydn. Peter

Heel mooi, de muziek van Haydn ( en de 'piano' )

Dank je

toevoeging ; niet alleen schitterend gespeeld maar ook met veel aandacht en liefde. Dat is wat mij trof.

[@arnoldvdwaals]

Leuk!

[@Chopin4321]

yes...."much attention and love" c.g. marseille.that is what defines pogorelich playing...love...as strange and neurotic as it may seem at first...as it happened with horowitz and maria callas...they do and share -- music therapy -- ....love is their source and never ending energy...time and space....sound and silence....love, live and death collapse into an eternal moment of infinity.... as it happens here with this haydn interpretation, best ever.
