Many times i have wondered if Pogorelich is not the reincarnation of the great master Beethoven. Pogorelich has been so immersed in the SOUNDS of the music he is recreating by playing it as well as studying the compositions over so many years. Even Ivo has stated that one of the most important acts in studying musical works has to do with LISTENING. ..and we all know from history that the master LVBeethoven was totally deaf from his late thirties on until his death at age 57.

What makes you think a Carnegie Hall audience has any culture or awareness?

[@DustyOldCowTown]

I’d like to respectfully offer an alternative view. In my few visits to Carnegie, I’ve found that the audience there is one of the most knowledgeable. I’ve met conductors and musicians that have travelled long distances along the eastern seaboard to listen to a concert at Carnegie. In a performance of Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloe, many were able to notice technicalities like missed entrances to stylistic choices like tempo variations and applauded according to the actual quality of the performance rather than just applauding raucously in hopes of getting their money’s worth from a few forced encores like many other American audiences. Applauding after a performer nails a particularly impressive virtuosic passage or between movements was not all that uncommon in the past!

[@m0ment219]

It was 100% ok to applaud after that passage...

The fact is that only Brendel played it at Carnegie Hall in the 60s, and no one programmed it after that in that hall. Then Pogorelich came along and played the piss outta that piece. The audience was excited. I was there. Pogorelich was the first of the new pianists who had the tone of a Horowitz or a Richter. He had their technique, too. A very great pianist and still a favorite of mine. The others on this page should note that that Hall doesn't make the audience intelligent. It's studying the music that gives knowledge. Clearly most of the audience didn't know that piece. I did, but I do my homework.

By some definitions, this clapping could be considered disrespectful, but that's just a word, its just a concept. When you really think about it, are they in the wrong for clapping? That is the most important question here. The answer is no. Since they were not aware that it wasn't over and thus were not intentionally being "disrespectful", they made a mistake, but an innocent one. Many of them were probably clapping because of how impressed they were by this great performance. Others clapped because they have been conditioned to do so, regardless of their personal feelings towards the performance. Either way, the majority of people were not morally unjust for clapping at that moment.

Cheers.!❤❤❤

[@Sahasrarasmi-Sancodite]

Not in this recital, but I saw a video in which he broke a string on the piano, and while he kept one hand on the last chord he played just before the string broke, he stood up and looked into the string bed and with his free left hand found which string had broken and lifted it up, if I recall correctly, and moved it out of the bed of strings and then sat down and continued playing. All done with a non-plussed attitude and nonchalant behavior. I am sure he has been used to having such things happen to him over the years with his practicing.
