Ivo Pogorelich plays Scriabin Sonata No 4, Op 30 - Live 1990

[@constantin250]

Ivo Pogorelich's early performances showcased an extraordinary level of interpretation freedom and flawless technique. The sheer liberty in his playing has the power to transport you to a different realm.

[@andream.464]

I heard this live in 1991. It shocked both me and my teacher, who was also performing this sonata in public. He said: “everything of that sonata was played: every single note and every single emotion!”.

[@Nonononono213]

It is true. Pogorelich is one of the finest soloist out there

This is the craziest, and perhaps among the most moving, piano renditions I've heard. Scriabin via Cecil Taylor, brilliant.

[@김종훈-i8t]

How emotional his playing is,,,,,

[@DearProfessorRF]

I saw him in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1990. I was shocked and bewitched forever. This recording reminds me of what I listened to at the Teresa Carreno Cultural Complex main concert hall. It was a sound that came from the bottom of a pianist's soul, not just from an instrument, not just from his moving fingers. I don't know anyone today even close to producing this "otherworldly" effect. Technical pyrotechnics and bodily contortions won't do.

[@edwindepianist]

That's a very good description of what you heard back then! Very true. This is totally not Wang or Lang territory.

[@MrInterestingthings]

Wow. What you say here ! I think Pogo is very unique and Argerich felt this perhaps . He is misunderstood and I dont get him.. His Scarlatti is the most perfect ever "recorded" I don't believe anyone can really do what he does on his recorc. I bought the dvd too .I believe its mostly studio tinkering Horowitz and Michelangeli of all people dont make piano sound like that ! His mind and needs come from somewhere else .

[@DearProfessorRF]

@@MrInterestingthings I couldn’t agree more when you say his mind comes from somewhere else. That’s exactly my impression, till today, even since I saw his photograph in black-and-white in the newspaper, announcing his upcoming recital.

[@tobiolopainto]

I was at this concert. Pogorelich was the first pianist of the younger generation who I felt was a master of the piano in the same way as Horowitz & Richter. Pogo was able to mold melody at fortissimo and pianissimo. His tone was glorious like Horowitz's. In this he was different than many of the new breed of pianists. They can play the piano--(Lang Lang, Volodos, Sokolov(saw his debut in NY), Trifonov, Sultanov etc. You know who I mean). But none of them gets into a piece at the depth of Pogo. I love how Pogo has investigated the slow tempo (Like Richter)...the slower the better--and always that tone floating over the music and creating the perfect milieu for the music to survive in. Horowitz and Richter do this...not to mention Rubenstein and Hofmann.

[@mysterium364]

How can you give such high praise to a performance with so many mistakes? Sounds like the performer was constantly trying to play at an intensity beyond his limit to perform consistently. What metric do you use to judge a pianist other than the number of mistakes they make?

Great, just great. It is truth every single note can be heard. It is a distinctive and powerful rendition. It is my favorite Scriabin piano Sonata and he does a gorgeous interpretation. He should have recorded the Fantasy Opus 28. It maybe slower too, a bit, maybe in the whole beginning, but he gets a so nice sound that it is a pleasure to recreate in it note after note. Find he is, once again, very good. He manages to develop the increasing tension leading to the end as it must be done. Can't tell if he's a genius, as Argerich said, but quite often he is close to the concept. ❤️💎👌👍

[@rickartdefoix1298]

@@edwindepianist Yes, I agree. His tone pitch is unique, his sound one of the best I've ever heard. He has done some master recordings, as his Scarlatti and his Ravel. Pogorelich is a very interesting, different and personal pianist. Don't know for others, but for me to have or get a beautiful tone, a peculiar sound, is something very important in a pianist. And he has it. This does not happen with all. The holy trinity in piano, let's say Gould, Richter and Argerich, doesn't have a so appealing piano sound. Am fed up of topics. One has to demitify. These iconic piano gods can also be criticised. For instance, Gould can be as quirky or more than Pogorelich, we just have to hear his Mozart. Richter can be and sound monotonous, uninspired and so, boring, even. His piano has a sort of deaf or remote sound, always. And he was as irregular as Pogo may have been. And about Argerich, she is sometimes too fast and find lacks poetry or romanticism now and then. Not everything in piano consist in trying to sound passionate or energetic. We have to go beyond topics. E. G. Am not a big fan of Benedetti, although I recognise he tried to be quite perfect. And I dislike Horowitz (exaggerated and effectist), Pollini (cold and technical), Brendel (too many flaws, don't know if he was as much as a fake value, as once or twice stated), and deeply dislike Barenboim (know some unknown pianists that sound and play (?) equal or better than him: mediocrity, as sometimes said?). Think true anyway that Barenboim has a "plain", poor piano sound. Just an opinion. Am I being cheeky or too bold to say this? Is it a sin? Excuses to these ones and their followers for saying, anycase. Of course the Gould Goldberg Variations (last recording) are excellent. For sure Richter's Rach 2 remains possibly the best. No doubt about Argerich Ravel's concert as great. Her Rach 3 also outstands. No doubt neither about Benedetti's Debussy. Rubinstein was nice, but his technique was not flawless, as said, too. Still they are icons for some reasons. But about the rest I've mentioned.. my pianists are others. Sin or not, it's what I think. Pogorelich instead, for me, is one of the best pianists of the past and present century, and think this is out of doubt. 🙄🤔😔🙏

[@epicurhyss4014]

It's certainly the most exuberant I've heard, though I wish the sound wasn't so clangorous. Ashkenazy is stiil my go to for this piece. His is perhaps the 2nd most exuberant I've heard, yet he sounds a bit more controlled. I do place highly Pogorelich's Scriabin op 8 no 2, and op 32 no 1. His Scriabin Sonata 2 for me ranks behind many others including, in no particular order, Askenazy, Lewin, Fiorentino, Demidenko, Sofronitsky, Fergus-Thompson, Richter, Zaritskaya, and Lisitsa. I haven't kept up with any new performances on youtube for the last 5 yrs or so.

[@MrInterestingthings]

[@epicurhyss4014]

@@MrInterestingthings The Fiorentino version of Sonata 2 which I refer is not the version currently on youtube, unless the overy amplified volume has obscured some details and tricked my ears. The version I refer to appeared on the Appian label, was also live as is the version on KZbin, and featured a pairing of the Rachmaninov 2nd Sonata, and the Prokofiev 8th. I see that there is currently 1 new and 2 used copies available on Amazon. The version on KZbin is nevertheless still well above average. Fiorentino ranks in the top 6 of those I named, along with Lewin (a similarly faster paced reading), Richter and Zaritskaya (both slower paced), and Ashkenazy and Sofronitsky (both mid paced). I'm referring only to the 1st mvt of Sonata 2. In the 2nd mvt I only fancy two performances, my 1st choice being Ashkenazy, with Demidenko a close 2nd.
