Domenico Scarlatti - Sonata in D minor K1 (Ivo Pogorelich)

[@stigekalder]

The immense power of this piece in the hands of Pogorelich overwhelms me everytime I hear it

[@excelsior999]

I totally agree. There is a YT video of ivo playing this piece live during his first recital tour of Japan. It is so cute to see a plethora of his adoring young (female) admirers showering him with flowers not only at the end of the recital but after every one of his encores. Some of them looked as though they were about to faint. Pogo released an all-Scarlatti album on the DG label when he was in his 20's and it is out of this world. (You can hear it on KZbin.) I can attest from personal experience that his playing of K.8 is enough to make a grown man cry.

[@Ed_UKation]

True, it's phenomenal. Most interpretations aren't anywhere near as good. A lot struggle with the left hand at one point and create an um....pa-pa-pa sound with a gap due to the large jump.

[@excelsior999]

@@Ed_UKation Re: struggling with the left hand - Ana Vidovic does a nice version of this piece on guitar. The problem with keyboard-to-guitar transcriptions, however,, is that guitarists usually can only play some, but not all, of the notes which are in the bass clef (i.e, for the left hand) of the original score due to the inherent limitations iin the design of the guitar as an instrument.

[@stigekalder]

@@excelsior999My Scarlatti guitar favourite is Antoine Boyer's K386, on his homemade guitar! Possibly my current favourite among the faster sonatas, although challenged by K22. Both wonderfully played by Christian Zacharias.

[@rsjmd]

@@excelsior999 We saw him perform the entire set at the Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena that year prior to the disc release. It was our first intro to Scarlatti and haven't heard anyone better after so many years...still one of favorite of my collection..

[@excelsior999]

There are many fine pianists who can do justice to the sublime sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti, but there is only one Pogo. Note how well he effortleessly articulates every note neatly and cleanly because with this pianist, every note actually DOES count.

[@tasosdiaforetico7377]

Pogo the clown?

[@infledermaus]

Apparently, Ivo Pogorelich, this pianist. Not heard of him/her, but that's not unusual for me. However, this is an exquisite performance! I'll be looking this one up now! Thanks for sharing Pogo!

[@antonellamajorano5348]

Che meravigliosa cadenza! La sinistra regge tutto il pezzo. Più sento Scarlatti e Bach e sempre più comprendo che la formazione di un pianista deve necessariamente passare di là. 😍💃

[@MadiniLadinoM]

Wonderful rendition, perfect tempo and articulation, crispy, shiny, definitively my favorite version and is from Pogorelich! Many pianists think about Scarlatti like a speed competition, but it's a BIG NO! Scarlatti is about articulation, expression, and a truly understanding of what Scarlatti wants to transmit thru his music! I think Pogo nailed it!

[@excelsior999]

So did you! Very well stated.

[@mrmfwettlaufer3785]

Perfect tempo. Beautiful interpretation.

[@CanelonVegano]

I love this man's hands

[@excelsior999]

Long fingers, like Rachmaninoff. Watching videos of him playing (e.g., on YT), you can see that he needs to curl his fingers at the knuckles in order to avoid creating a "digital traffic jam."

[@mariedagoult1]

Pogorelich owns Scarlatti, only Argerich and Yuja can be nearly at his level

[@MrInterestingthings]

You rarely find consecutive 7th s in music before the romantics almost never .Handel will do flourishes Bach all kinds of things but rarely in scales passages like this beginning which outdoes even the Romantics of over one hundred years later : Look at the 9ths !!! Scarlatti was not a European . There was something North African or other plabetary in his blood . Does Soler or Seixas give us such surprises ? Spanish music had "unholy " influences and till this day surprises , confounds and delights . I'd like to know what North African music was doing from 1400 to 1800 . Debussy and Ligeti I think were late but noone noticed the drum music or di d they and what about Sir Burton does he talk about Indian music . I can't believe Messiaen was the first : scholars are not composers or geniuses so one has to look diff places !

[@Schleiermacher1000]

Scarlatti only begins to sound on the piano

[@leololozon3]

acentuating the first note after the Tr from the 3rd bar on, completely ignoring the legatto.., destroys this piece!

[@stigekalder]

We talked about this before, you mistake legato from simply binding 2 notes together into one across the bar.

[@nleytman]

Just the opposite.
