wow thanks a lot for this! this version of pogorelich is very special, and the noise on the other video is really a bit annoying. scarbo will forever be my favorite piece.. i have recently started re-learining it, its so much fun to practice even for casual players although its so hard :)

Is he real?

[@benjamin1032]

What do you mean “is he real”?

What do you mean, "Is he real?"?

Allthough I'm a true fan of Pogorelich I think his interpretation is incorrect. The piece should be played with less expression, more robot-like. That gives listeners the creeps, because it's about a devil, who has no empathy or compassion.

[@pavlosgermanidis2754]

listen to his studio recording on headphones. i've heard dozens of recordings and nothing felt as creep as that. maximum dark and percussive

Smartass

You are wrong! Most people play this kind of "robot-like," and those interpretations are boring, flat, and totally spineless. Others play it in a way that is so fractured and exaggerated that they make no sense whatsoever, and they are incapable of maintaining an overarching line under which all the different sections of the piece fall. Pogorelich is one of the very few who plays this correctly, in a manner that is carefully built and thought out, and that has true architecture. Read the poem on which Scarbo is based and you'll understand.

I disagree. The music is also a depiction of the mood that you will be feeling in his presence. it is about the dread of the listener as much as a depiction of the movements of the Scarbo which would be energetic and full of life, not robotic. I see the scarbo as rabid, hell bent on terror. this is not a depiction of Michael Myers from Halloween
