Pogorelich plays Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto N. 1 Op. 23

[@PhillipLWilcher]

I have always had a heart for Pogorelich. I always will have. I heard him play the Sydney Opera House - two solo recitals - during the mid 1980s. I have never forgotten. He walked on stage to sit at the piano and transform it into an Aladdin's Cave of hidden wonders. His stage presence was the equal of Nureyev. I like to think of Pogorelich as the Nureyev of the piano.

[@charlesdavis7087]

I also think he was trapped in a cave. The "cave" was his teacher/lover. And as far as I know, he was never able to go beyond this "cave" or her genius. Or....... I haven't heard it yet. His work seems so contrived. Too well thought out. I find it annoying... at times. I wonder if he's into composing music by now? Must be. Blessing... on us all.

[@akanatsouli]

Responding to Mr castbreeder1 I have only one thing to say. The man who knows how to love is never lost. God does not abandon him either. The power of the artist to convey his feelings to the public and make us feel the fullness that only a charismatic person could offer is his peak at the moment.

The orchestra was very good so I got curious about the orchestra and the conductor. And just before the 2nd movement began, the camera showed the face of the conductor and it was surprisingly Mikhail Pletnev. The orchestra must be the Russian National Orchestra.

[@davidfooterman6515]

There is a kind of note by note clarity about his playing that sometimes obscures the language of the whole phrase; an intense concentration on each note individually that leaves the listener without the cue to the texture of the containing phrase; a portrait painting with technically perfect brush strokes, color choices, shaping of light and shadow....but where’s Mona? It’s not a criticism. I love his playing and I hear different things every time I listen because of the translucent clarity of his technique. Then I listen to Lipatti, who also had the perfection and control, but then the music can bring tears to my eyes. Example: Chopin Barcarolle. Zimmerman gets close but not there. Rubinstein gets there but technically not as good and that distracts. Pogorelich gets there with Scarlatti and almost there with the Liszt B mi sonata, and other pianists have their zeniths, but Lipatti gets there for me with everything he plays. It might be that his playing is not exposed to the rigors of modern precision sound technology. Who knows. But this Croatian genius was never properly recognized because he isn’t charismatic in the way that sways juries, even those comprising his greatest piers. Martha Argerich saw it in him and resigned in protest against the foggy-eyed mediocrity of her fellow judges. Go for a trip, Ivo, recapture some of that joie de vivre and wow me yet again.

[@davidfooterman6515]

Was his personal loss a transformative experience that changed him. I’m sure not entirely because one catches little oddities in his playing, although when not too obvious or numerous they can be interesting and even enhancing to the performance. He is still around and, my having just come from a joe rogan podcast with Michael pollan on psychedelics I’m wondering what a properly supervised psilocybin experience might do to Ivo. Something happened to him and there seems to me to have been an Asperger phenotype already there in him that let loose a different artist. He’s a genius and things can happen to disturb the delicate power and beauty of genius, sort of like drying out plant trichomes incorrectly and expecting to get the terpenes back by just rehydrating them. Ain’t going to happen. On the other hand, if one could add them back by reenergizing the DNA transcription from whence they came, perhaps one could restore the greatness. Maybe I’ll get lucky and receive a troll-free reply that means something.

@@akanatsouli Your words resonate. I have loved Pogorelich since the first day I knew of him, as far back as the early 80s. And, however wayward at an interpretative level his playing might have become, I have always learned from him. he digs deep, very deep, to that region where eve the soul can sometimes be out of tune with itself. But as you say, he who knows of Love is never lost, for does Love return as to Love, the Truth of Who We Are. Bless you, Aleka!

I think Pogorelich is very interesting here but I'm not sure Pletnev was ideal for this.. or maybe Pletnev did his best to go along with Pogorelich's own timing, or did Pletnev slowed him down too much I don't know... I'm so used to Horowitz/Walter that I can't help but find this a bit spineless. Maybe I shouldn't compare. They must have played it exactly the way they intended to.

[@bigbeautifullife7329]

最初のピアノの豪快な和音の連続。中村紘子とニコライエワは、「上半身の反動を使って演奏しなければならない。」生徒に向かって教えていたのだ。それは、単に、私には無理だと言っていたに過ぎない。

[@rigel48]

Ivo Pogorelich should meditate what Alfred Brendel said about the interpreter : "All our talent and our sensibility are in the service of the composer, the real creator. It does not belong to us to tell him what he should have written, but to understand what he wrote - and to imagine what he would have been able to write but to which he preferred another fork." This is especially true for his very personal interpretation of this concerto.

[@cygnusne]

That's why Brendel is so boring! May I recommend you read the article "We Are Playing Classical Music All Wrong" by Clive Brown, Professor of Applied Musicology at University of Leeds. Also some reading of accounts by and about musicians and composers of classical music, in their time would be useful. Pogorelich is doing what a great musician would do. He is " Interpreting" not just reading a score.

[@rigel48]

Each era has its artistic criteria for interpretation, and it is a very open debate as to how far an interpreter can take liberties with the text. We know the anecdote of Liszt who took great liberties in interpreting one of Chopin's works in his presence, and that Chopin disavowed telling him to play what he had written or otherwise not to play the work. Personally I am not a maniac for the absolute respect of the text, but when a composer indicates a tempo "Allegro" and that the interpreter plays "Adagio", I think that he betrays the composer's thought. Similarly when he makes huge "ritardandos" not written on the score. That's what Pogorelich does with this concerto.

[@cygnusne]

Tempi are also rather relative unless there is a metronome tempo written, and even then... All music that was put on paper was meant to be re played by someone other than the composer therefore it will have the imprint of the interpreter, as it should be and composers knew that. As for taking liberties,, there are accounts of many musicians doing that, just think of Bach and his contemporaries where being able to improvise was a MUST! Today musicians don't do it mostly because they don't have the capacity to do it. As for tastes, indeed we live in the mass production age and music didn't escape. So most classical music you hear today is like out a a production line... all the same, boxed in, lifeless reproduction of a score, with no personality. Torture to listen to and not fall asleep! IMO Pogorelich does exactly the opposite. He keeps one very much focused and immersed in the music and makes on travel, all in good taste.

[@rigel48]

I agree that tempi are very relative. How fast must be an Allegro or how slow must be an Andante is often a question of personal feeling. But here this is not the problem. At bar 359 (12:36) the composer indicates on the score "a tempo", so he asks to return to the preceding tempo after a ritardando two bars earlier. And this tempo is "Allegro". But here Pogorelich after a massive ritardando goes on with a very slow tempo, obviously more an Adagio than an Allegro. Maybe this dreamy and meditative mood given by Pogorelich for this passage can be telling for some, but it is not what Tchaikovsky wanted. I would add that I rarely heard an introduction so ponderously played by the pianist, with a noticeable change of tempo at 1:00
