I was fortunate to hear him in NY several times, including a shattering "Gaspard de la Nuit". Absolute perfection.

[@PK-re3lu]

Good for you. People seem to have mixed feelings re the emotion or lack thereof behind his note-perfect perfection ;) I like his Debussy, and some of the baroque recordings in particular. Enjoy!

[@anonymusum]

@@PK-re3lu I also love his recordings of Beethoven´s piano concertos, I guess it was #1, #3 and #5. It´s so analytical and straight forward that I think anyone else is just exaggerating.

You haven't heard Horowitz and Pogorelich then.

[@perryphilias]

@@Pogouldangeliwitz And Pletnev, in a different way!

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

@@perryphilias True, yes! Definitely Pletnev too!! His double album with Scarlatti sonatas is priceless!! 😍😍😍

[@PK-re3lu]

@@Pogouldangeliwitz Check out Gilels!

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

@@PK-re3lu He's only played 10 sonatas or so in his whole life. The London 1984 live recording is quite sloppy. 1955 and 1960 are way better. As much as I love Gilels, I don't think he can compete with Horowitz, Pletnev, Michelangeli, Pogorelich in Scarlatti. I'd rank him the same as Haskil or Zacharias: really good, but with some minor flaws. The few (3 each?) sonatas we have from Lipatti and Gould on the contrary are top notch.

[@renato45222]

Il controllo di ogni singola nota, nel senso di poterne plasmare il "peso", la dinamica, la capacità di "cantare" laddove altri non ce la fanno, rendono Michelangeli unico. Lo potete criticare solo per il repertorio pubblico - attenzione, solo quello pubblico - relativamente limitato, ma non sarebbe una critica tanto legittima...........

[@federicosavio]

Totalmente d'accordo! Infatti il suo repertorio "privato" era immenso.

Scarlatti e Sriabin sono i più grandi compositori per Piano Solo a mio parere. Ogni brano è una quintessenza musicale, ti sembra di conoscerlo da sempre e sempre lo riascolti diversamente dall' ultima volta. Tutti gli Interpreti sono messi in condizione di esprimere qualcosa di positivo , e chi ascolta non tende a fare confronti estetici o tecnici con chi suona.....È rapito da una conoscenza che ha dentro di sé. Certo che quando la tastiera è nelle mani di ABM! Quali i possibili confronti? Marco Rotondi

[@marcocampus7943]

Nessun pianista regge il confronto con ABM. Ce ne sono stati e ce ne sono di grandi.. ma come lui nessuno!

[@federicosavio]

Però Scarlatti le sue 555 Sonate le ha concepite per clavicembalo. Infatti, teoricamente, l'esecuzione al pianoforte non sarebbe corretta... Ma questo non toglie che l'effetto sullo strumento "moderno" dia risultati esaltanti, come in questo caso. Inarrivabile il nostro A. B. Michelangeli!

Perfection. Everything studied to perfection. He left too little space for spontaneity but his interpretations were/are nevertheless interesting. Smart and Impeccable technique (100 % metronomic) and exquisite sound. I particularly enjoy his Scarlatti, Beethoven and Debussy renditions. No doubt, an important reference.

Rachmaninoff also left too little space for spontaneity and worked everything out to perfection. It's just a different esthetic.

[@MrFlorestan1]

These sonatas are a treat to hear. Michelangeli could take the piano to expressive heights with relatively unassuming means: impeccable touch, impeccable taste, the "art of refined phrasing" as chad414 put it. For every sonata, the listener to experiences every emotion within the carefully organized framework that he creates. This is perhaps stating the obvious that many pianists know to do, but his playing here is still an ideal example of this "obvious" way of playing. I don't know why I thought people wrote Michelangeli off as a "cold," clinical pianist when clearly there are many who appreciate his art!

Fantastic performance of Sonata K.27 12:47

[@madaboutvoice]

@@sandykost Yes, ABM's playing of Scarlatti strikes me as very similar to GG's JSBach, idiosyncratic but genius, imo. I like Gilels's interpretation but it does not mean it is the correct or better interpretation. Each can be enjoyed for what it is.

[@Alix777.]

[@Davidpianist-ge5et]

I enjoy *this* performance of Michelangeli playing Scarlatti's K27 sonata than another one of his on KZbin. Some very good voicing here. However, I think that the louder utterances sound a bit aggressive here (possibly because of the relatively fast tempo).But some expressive playing :-) Oh, I do NOT like that B minor chord he added and played at the end at all; I think Scarlatti intended the piece to end quietly. I think this is evidence that the performer is treating this as a rather virtuosic work. A pity, as I do like his other Scarlatti playing that I've heard.

A differenza del cembalo , il pianoforte permette , mediante il pedale , alcune licenze esecutive impossibile al cembalo e gli abbellimenti che sul cembalo si eseguono facilmente ,sul pianoforte invece risultano un pò difficoltosi a causa dei martelletti che non hanno la velocità di esecuzione dei saltarelli del cembalo. Oggi sarebbe interessante un confronto tra le esecuzioni del maestro e le nuove giovani pianiste/i che già eseguono concerti in ogni parte del globo.

[@camitful]

Confronto già eseguito dal quale talvolta risulta vincente la sua musicalità esecutiva(di Michelangeli). E mi viene da dire : no Michelangeli eseguiva in modo migliore qualche passaggio che deve essere interpretato non eseguito meccanicamente.

[@camitful]

No io non riduco tutto a immagine , tendo a qualificare chi esegue meglio di altri dagli esecutori meccanici della musica qualificabile come musica e non come contorno musicale, accompagnamento, sottofondo; chi pretende un'esecuzione di qualità non confonde il bla bla bla con un'interpretazione personale o seguendo le regole del fraseggio.

Por supuesto que hay grandes artistas y otros que no lo son. Pero hasta ahi. Lo mismo con los compositores, los pianistas o lo que sea.

[@Carlos-ju2ok]

I am a Benedetti's admirer, but I also disagree with the final chord he arbitrarily adds (and plays like "forte subito" in spite of the fine, subtle character of this delicate piece!) at the end of the last sonata, K.27. What a pity! That final chord does not appear in any of the Scarlatti's editions I know, including the Henle's one. I find that such a spurious addition is absolutely inappropriate for Scarlatti´s style, it's just a capricious gesture, even in bad taste - really surprising when it comes from such an elegant pianist. By the way, I prefer the quite slower tempo of Emil Gilel's interpretation of this sonata (even if the tempo prescribed by the composer is Allegro).

[@federicosavio]

Me too, I absolutely prefer the Gilels interpretation of this magnificent Sonata. It is extremely expressive, it put it in another dimension.

[@camitful]

Comunque il confronto Michelangeli l'ha già avuto con i pianisti suoi contemporanei : Richter Rubinstein Kempf ed altri di questo calibro che talvolta eseguivano anche in diretta radio o TV i loro concerti. Comunque Michelangeli ebbe occasione di essere ascoltato da 20.000 persone nel concerto in Vaticano nella sala Nervi ( mi raccontò la collega di inglese che lo ascoltò dal vivo andando ad ascoltare il concerto).
