CD Reviews

Superb Piano playing
07/14/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Unfortunately, there's no way to give 6 stars to this recording. Mr Pogorelich has an incredible command, being able to mantain speed, control of rubato, etc, giving a super polished performance. Of the many versions, including Horowitz, Argerich, Gilels, and others, his vision is quite impressive. I have listened to many of his rehearsals and enjoy this CD since 1986. Anyone that buys this recording is not spending, but investing in a future of pleasure and constant learning with astonishment assured."
Finally, a warhorse reborn.

"If you are anything like me, the most difficulty recordings to buy are the old warhorses, which everyone think they know how to play and every listener think they know how it should be played. And that is precisely the problem. Finally, this perfect pairing of pianist and conductor came along, who instead decided to re-look at this piece as if they were looking at it for the first time. I have never found Tchaikovski to be more enjoyable. Finally, someone looked at this piece knowing that there is a brain amids the pounding of the keyboard. And that when the pounding stopped, or in this case never started, you can actually hear the music behind it."
Why can't we, the listeners, at least try?

"If you gather up all of the reviews and comments (both positive and negative)about Pogorelich, you'll think that you are quite familiar with his style. But it's quite a different sensation to actually listen. "Eccentric", "Erratic", "Unbelievable", "Ponderous" were becoming cliches. But how many have actually sat down to listen, listen within the music? There is someone who is trying to communicate one's deep feelings and emotions, he should deserve more understanding from us. As beings with high intellectual emotions, this is the best we could do?



If you are just looking for music that will please your ears or to lighten up the background, then Pogorelich's recordings are not the only recommended ones. But to really analyze something, to find a new dimension, he's up for it.
