- THE KING OF CHESS - You are the protégé of Death contemplating nailed in your Grave the game of Life. You're the one with the eyes on the nails of a Cross. Your hands caress tenderly the blind backs of your soldiers. Your armed and soulless guardians they ask you kneeling that you nail a cross to their chests because they are afraid of not being crucified at the desired time. Loyal painters advance drawing you the secret roads of Death. Your steel tears destroy when they fall the bare toes of your feet. Over the Earth keyboard the rain unearths the thousand hands of war. ! Oh King of Chess living pain of your childhood! ! You die for not winning and you also die to win! Alvaro Serralta - EL REY DEL AJEDREZ - Tu eres el protegido de la Muerte que contemplas clavado en tu Tumba el Juego de la Vida. Eres el que lleva los ojos en los clavos de una Cruz. Tus manos acarician con ternura las espaldas ciegas de tus soldados. Tus guardianes armados y desalmados te piden de rodillas que claves una cruz en sus pechos porque tienen miedo de no ser crucificados en el momento deseado. Leales pintores avanzan dibujándote los secretos caminos de la Muerte. Tus lágrimas de acero destrozan al caer los desnudos dedos de tus pies. Sobre el teclado de Tierra la lluvia desentierra las mil manos de la Guerra. ! Oh Rey del Ajedrez dolor vivo de tu niñez ! ! Tu mueres por no Vencer y también mueres por Vencer ! Alvaro Serralta "Chopin´s playing evoked all the sweet and sorrowful voices of the past. Chopin sang the tears of music...in a whole gamut of different forms and voices, from that of the warrior to those of children and angels..." Bohdan Zaleski, polish poet, personal diary 2 feb 1844. "Under the fingers of Chopins´s hand the piano became the voice of an archangel, an orchestra, an army, a raging ocean, a creation of the universe, the end of the world." Solange Clesinger. Ivo is the archetype of the modern artist, the isolated and courageous master, who finds his own way to new heights of expression, no matter the prejudices or the barriers of misunderstanding raised against him. He stands alone at the beginning of a new epoch like a prophet, mapping the routes that art would take. Pogorelich´s cathartic and mystical sound, is concerned with the ultimate mysteries that transcend this world. His grandiose, colossal and majestic art, symbolizes the struggle of the human soul to find release from the bonds of its material body. His exquisite and overwhelming music continues to echo throughout the entire performance and beyond, so the action is at once momentary, eternal and complete. Pogorelich´s interpretations are indescribably beautiful and irresistible. His sound is pure poetry and extremely emotional, yet entirely unsentimental. We are hypnotized by his new and radical naturalness, by his nobility, dignity, severity and sobriety; transporting us to states of wonder, ecstasy, meditation, redemption, love and compassion. Sound and Silence, Life and Death, Time and Space; collapse into the Eternal moment of Infinity.

I heard the door to hell opened. I also heard the door to heaven opened. I couldn’t stop but listening to the end. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Heartrending, unreal, unearthly. Ivo is beyond our limits. Love is a miracle.

Better than his studio recording! The intensity is outstanding! You can't avoid listening to the whole interpretation! What a genius!

This is one of the last great pianists of all time... they just don't come like this anymore. Truly wonderful artistry & technique as we have become accustomed to from Ivo.

yes, ivo is the greatest, at the same level as horowitz

The man literally lives through the music. Look at the octaves and nuances between 03:22-04:37 and 11:26-12:06. Simply dazzling... Yes, the piano seems out of tune a bit (especially at higher registers). But I wish I had been there to see this and hear that one chord at 18:25. This intensity and clarity in piano playing remind me every time why Pogorelich will always be one of my favorite pianists of all time, no matter how people criticize him for his unique interpretations like this one.

ivo is way beyond sound, ...pogorelich has the most powerful and perfect union of form, harmony and melody, i have no doubt he is the best interpreter ever, surpassing maria callas and horowitz, and at the level of the greatest composers to whom he seems to play for.

Graxieee eternas..

Jesus, in his contrasts and diversity he was really the greatest. I enjoyed every part of this performance. Thanks.

Liszt was a piano teacher in París in 1831-1832, among his pupils there was Valérie Boissier, whose mother, Caroline, kept a diary of her piano classes. Thats why we know that: " M. Liszt's playing contains abandonment, a liberated feeling, but even when it becomes impetuous and energetic in his fortissimo, it is still without harshness and dryness. [...] [He] draws from the piano tones that are purer, mellower and stronger than anyone has been able to do; his touch has an indescribable charm. [...] He is the enemy of affected, stilted, contorted expressions. Most of all, he wants truth in musical sentiment, and so he makes a psychological study of his emotions to convey them as they are. Thus, a strong expression is often followed by a sense of fatigue and dejection, a kind of coldness, because this is the way nature works." Liszt fue profesor en París. En 1831-1832 entre sus alumnos, se encontraba Valérie Boissier, cuya madre, Caroline, escribió un minucioso diario de las lecciones. Por ella sabemos que: " La interpretación de M[onsieur]. Liszt contiene abandono, un sentimiento liberado, pero incluso cuando se convierte en impetuoso y enérgico en su fortissimo, sigue siendo sin dureza ni sequedad. [...] Obtiene del piano tonos que son más puros, suaves y enérgicos que los que nadie ha sido capaz de conseguir; su toque tiene un encanto indescriptible. [...] Es el enemigo de las expresiones fingidas, forzadas o retorcidas. Sobre todo, quiere la verdad en el sentimiento musical, y por eso hace un estudio psicológico de sus emociones para transmitirlas como son. Así, a menudo una fuerte expresión es seguida por una sensación de fatiga y abatimiento, una especie de frialdad, porque esta es la forma en que funciona la naturaleza. "

Thank you for breaking the code and filming this because it’s truly wonderful. The first time I realised Liszt wasn’t just about furiosity and showmanship. But you have here one of the greatest pianists too. It’s as much about Pogorelich.

Holy Molly, that's the best live interpretation I've heard of this sonata, and I've attented to many (including Hamelin). I need to listen more of Pogorelich stuff !

Even though the piano starts to go really out of tune this is one of the most epic live performances I've ever heard. The phrasing is unequaled except for maybe Horowitz.

I am so grateful for who taped this recital! Thank you from the depth of my heart! Ivo transports us to the interface of divine Geist with human Geist where the composer’s genius is faithfully understood and presented with perfect expression and skill by the genius of this unique interpreter guided reverently by a superb teacher, Aliz Kezentze- May her memory be a blessing for Ivo and generations of music lovers- what genius and integrity can do! I feel like Liszt did in Paris when at 20, he listened to Paganini and it blew his mind! Thank you again for bringing God on Earth and into our Geist!

La migliore sonata di Liszt che io abbia mai sentito!

Most beautiful cantabiles ever played or dreamed.. only Horowitz reached this level of purity.. this playing is probably the best ever of pogorelich.. he was so focused and relaxed.. best physical shape ever.. has the spirit and muses and angels of liszt.. beethoven.. chopin.. of all the greatest composers.. ivo is an angel fighting demons... has the force of creation .. the force of the universe.. of god... creates birth from eternity... fight.. passion.. love .. sadness .. redemption.. death.. resurrection.. eternity.. he is the proof God exists.. revealing Him trough music and beauty.. infinity.. eternity..catharsis.. extasy.. love.. sound and silence

Ivo Pogorelich was born in Belgrade in 1958 as son of a musician. He received his first piano lessons at the age of seven and went to Moscow at the age of twelve to study at the Central Special Music School and then at the Tchaikowsky Conservatory. In 1976 he began intensive studies with the renowned pianist and teacher Aliza Kezeradze, with whom he was married from 1980 until her untimely death in 1996. Mme. Kezeradze was able to transmit the spirit and matter of the school of Beethoven and Liszt, the tradition of the Liszt-Siloti school, originated in Vienna and than carried through to the Conservatory of St. Petersburg, flourishing towards the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th. Century. Pogorelich´s sound, concerts and recordings pay homage to this exceptionally refined, visionary, and truly revolutionary woman, who so lovingly made Pogorelich a unique artist of genius. Ivo Pogorelich won the first prize at the Alessandro Casagrande Competition at Terni (Italy) in 1978 and the first price at the Montreal International Music Competition in 1980. In October of the same year he entered the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw where, when prevented from participating in the final contest as a soloist with the orchestra, a fierce controversy resulted in the renowned argentinian pianist Martha Argerich, a member of the jury, protesting and leaving the competition, joined by other members of the jury panel, with the words “He is a genius”. The New York Times once wrote “He played each note exactly, with such a feeling, such expression, he was an entire orchestra- it was as if he played 200 years ahead of our time”. In this spirit Ivo Pogorelich is known today as a poet of the instrument. Ivo Pogorelich is not only an artist of the highest caliber, discipline and musicianship, but the archetype of the modern artist, the isolated and courageous master, who finds his own way to new heights of expression, no matter the prejudices or the barriers of misunderstanding raised against him. He stands alone at the beginning of a new epoch like a prophet, mapping the routes that art would take. Pogorelich´s cathartic and mystical sound, is concerned with the ultimate mysteries that transcend this world. His grandiose, colossal and majestic art, symbolizes the struggle of the human soul to find release from the bonds of its material body. His exquisite and overwhelming music continues to echo throughout the entire performance and beyond, so the action is at once momentary, eternal and complete.

We are hypnotized by his new and radical naturalness, by his nobility, dignity, severity and sobriety; transporting us to states of wonder, ecstasy, meditation, love and compassion. -- Sound and Silence, Life and Death, Time and Space; collapse into the Eternal moment of Infinity. -- ----------------------- "you have to get into the phycological frame of mind in which composers wrote their works in order to discover its secrets. virtuosity comes from the greek origin virtue. original is finding the origin Gaudi said. rachmaninov had arthritis at the end of his life, he was so weak that his sound was very short, that is the reason he played fast, to fill the vacuum. if you have long sound you are in command to achieve clarity and the hypnotic sound between the notes. the problem was always the conflict and the difference between the absolute and the relative quality. beauty in music is like in diamonds, the purest diamond in the world is the Koh-i-Noor, it is the absolute beauty to which others with relative beauty are compared. work as hard as a galley slave. one should always try as much as possible to rediscover music as though one is hearing it for the first time, searching everywhere for new meanings and new depths. the highest function of the artist is to release the spirituality and the emotional immediacy that lie within the score. sound becomes metaphysical only when you have completely explored all physical possibilities. you should explore until reaching the absurd. music takes you to another universe of eternity that remains with you after the concert is finished."

Javier Serralta San Martin thank you for this video offering this wonderful offering from Ivo Pogorelich -much criticised unfortunately, but perhaps this will save his wonderful talents. He is so truly wonderful, hoping he can both give and protect himself from giving in to ... what!? commerce, and still hopefully be heard/experienced by as many people as possible. Best and warm wishes to Ivo Pogorelich from Martine.

pogorelich wise words: many many hours of academic hard work is the secret. find inspiration after 8 hours of work like Picasso. first you have to be a servant...then comes the rest. sacrifice is the key. the substance is already there, but is dead until your work makes it alive. always fight against the worst enemy, routine. always have inspiration. warm the instrument before a concert like a car in winter... fight and find the substance. playing in public is transcendental. music takes you to another universe of eternity that remains with you after the concert is finished. virtuosity comes from the greek origin virtue. original is finding the origin Gaudi said. fight to achieve quality, go deeper...find the origin of the sound. technique is not just fast and slow...is the sound, the long sound, the palette of colors, is entering a different space, reaching the diversity of sound. rachmaninov had arthritis at the end of his life, he was so weak that his sound was very short, that is the reason he played fast, to fill the vacuum. if you have long sound you are in command to achieve clarity and the hypnotic sound between the notes. the problem was always the conflict and the difference between the absolute and the relative quality. beauty in music is like in diamonds, the purest diamond in the world is the Koh-i-Noor, it is the absolute beauty to which others with relative beauty are compared. ----- i love the immense range of the tragic and mysterious, in part demoniac, qualities in pogorelich´s music which defy analysis. i love his aspiration to reach the greatness of soul of composers and creators. once he said most music he could hear was an ostentatious circus act of virtuoso pieces for up-and-coming pianists, tests of finger dexterity, not art. ivo said you have to get into the phycological frame of mind in which composers wrote their works in order to discover its secrets. advices to work as hard as a galley slave. love his ability to achieve overwhelming, unique and intoxicating climaxes as well as subtleties of tonal shading. pogorelich shares with horowitz an immense creativity and an unprecedented technique. sound becomes metaphysical only when you have completely explored all physical possibilities. you should explore until reaching the absurd. one should always try as much as possible to rediscover music as though one is hearing it for the first time, searching everywhere for new meanings and new depths. the highest function of the artist is to release the spirituality and the emotional immediacy that lie within the score.

Amazing melody and performance ;-) Bravo !

This is unique interpretation of Listz Sonata... Che passione... Neponovljivo!

"One thing we can say about music is that we can do our best to grasp it and teach it, but there will always be one thing missing this way - grace - the unexpected miracle which gives music its true worth. This ‘je ne sais quoi’ is what drives the composer to compose. It is grace which invites the musician- body and soul- to master his instrument and deepen his understanding. It is grace which attracts music lovers to come to concerts, to be part of a precious and unique event: the communication of this certain something, which is part of everyone’s make-up. The requirement for this ‘transmission’ is not only aesthetic, but ethical: music, like all art, is part of the mystery that shapes humans." [Maria Joao Pires]

My goodness, thank you.

un artista, y un musico todavia mas, que quiera ser digno de este nombre y de esta profesion, ha de ser por naturaleza, por vocacion y por devocion un ser de amor, para el amor, portador de armonia, de belleza y de paz. me sorprende cada dia mas ver la gran cantidad de personas que intentan ser artistas pero no pueden...hoy es ya muy dificil encontrar un musico tan autentico como este.

BRAVO!

For those of us who missed Liszt himself play, I think Pogo is the next best option.

ivo has the most beautiful and perfect equilibrium of the 3 elements of music ...melody, harmony and form. ivo has the highest internal discipline possible, which is the ability to identify, discern, and take action on the particular thoughts in his head that are actually aligned with his life vision and goals. has infinite hard work and sacrifice, pogorelich once said he worked like a galley slave, i believe him, the result is this, the most perfect and beautiful piano playing ever. " SIMPLICITY IS EVERYTHING, IT IS ART¨S FINAL OBJECT. ONE HAS TO HAVE STUDIED A LOT, TREMENDOUSLY, TO LET SIMPLICITY EMERGE WITH ALL ITS CHARM, GRACE AND MAGIC. PLACE THE HAND AT EASE, WITH A MAXIMUM OF SUPPLENESS AND FLEXIBILITY, -- ( FACILEMENT, FACILEMENT ) -- EASILY, EASILY. TO ATTAIN GOOD TASTE, NATURALNESS AND PERFECTION IN PIANO PLAYING, LEARN FROM THE BEST OPERA SINGERS, LISTENING CAREFULLY HOW THEY BREATH. " - CHOPIN - " The Ideal of great Art is supreme serenity. " - Franz Liszt - " MUSIC SHOULD FLOW LIKE OIL, NOTES SHOULD GO AS SMOOTH AS OIL " - MOZART - " MUSIC WAS BORN FREE; AND TO WIN ITS LOST LIBERTY IS ITS DESTINY. " - F. BUSONI -

Thanks, this video is unbelievably epic.

Bravo!

Was Liszt that rigid about his tempi? I guess not, as I have been reading about this in the autobiography The Hungarian Rhapsody. Ivo is beyond ingeniousness. This is the best. Surpassed Horowitz and Argerich. This is it; this is Liszt+. The renaissance of the sonata.

this is exquisite music, visionary and pure genius, like all pogorelich interpretations, which transcend and stretch beyond reality, beyond the present moment, and beyond beauty. his art of interpreting is almost subversive, bold and pushes the boundaries of what is acceptable, after listening to ivo i just can,t avoid see many interpreters a bit or a lot inferior or vulgar...the talent and genius of ivo, pianist of pianists, artist of artists, can´t be compared well to other pianists, belongs more to another more creative sphere, that is why he reminds and resembles me to some of the greatest geniuses like rembrandt, goya, velazquez, da vinci, michelangelo, van gogh, vermeer....they all captured and immortalized the noble and the universal of art. pogorelich also achieved this rare and beautiful capturing of the human soul with all its nobility and universality ... thank you ivo for enduring and for persisting a bit more, you are so alone...you are the only one with enough talent to take art beyond....you are an honor to music.

el inefable arte de ivo, porque realmente es indescriptible, su arte y su sonido de de antes, de ahora y de siempre, se intenta describir algo en esta critica de xavier pujol de un recital en barcelona en mayo de 2015, " - EL PIANISTA SERIO - El Ivo Pogorelich (Belgrado, Yugoslavia, 1958) de hoy tiene poco que ver con aquel enfant terrible del teclado de hace treinta años. En aquellos tiempos ya era un pianista serio, pero ahora es un hombre de una seriedad absoluta, granítica, rayana en la adustez. Pogorelich no sonríe ni cuando saluda y saluda con la soltura y el garbo de un embajador en una presentación de credenciales. Toca Pogorelich abstraído, ajeno casi siempre al público, como si entre él y la sala hubiera un muro. Su tocar es impecable e implacable, rotundo, percusivo en los pasajes de agilidad, imponente, exacto, deslumbrante. La posición es hierática, el gesto inexistente, la expresividad gélida, la implicación emocional, desconocida y, sin embargo, todo está en su sitio, todo perfectamente calculado, todo minuciosamente preparado y ejecutado con una seriedad y una solvencia absolutas, sin trampas ni recursos o efectos engañosos de cara a la galería. Al final de su actuación hubo dos tipos de reacciones: una parte importante del público aplaudió cortesmente pero se marchó enseguida, no podían más, les habían apabullado con un torrente de notas interpretadas magistralmente por un individuo que, eso sí, apenas si había reparado en la existencia del público. Otro sector se puso en pie y aplaudía enfervorizado a un artista que emanaba poder, autoridad, capacidad, solvencia y rigor, un hombre de una personalidad insólita que sabe mucho de la soledad del artista y que no tiene nada que ver con los productos prefabricados que salen hoy con asiduidad de los departamentos de mercadotecnia de las discográficas. Todos tenían razón. Ivo Pogorelich es un pianista muy serio."

He is music.

Sound and Silence, Life and Death, Time and Space; collapse into the Eternal moment of Infinity. MUSIC SO BEAUTIFULLY UNBENDING, SEVERE, RELENTLESS, IMPLACABLE, INEXORABLE.

i think i finally solved the mystery of ivo...i just red that Music therapy is music performance without the ego...that`s what ivo is and does...simple music therapy...with no ego at all...first for himself...and it works for him and for many of us.

Gracias Caballero d Fina Stampa..

Pogorelich honors music...resurrecting his soul, his spirit....like no one. "Chopin´s playing evoked all the sweet and sorrowful voices of the past.

I think in the realm of art each has his/her own preferences. When someone says it's wrong, it only means relatively: not absolutely. This interpretation is very interesting to me as it shows a point of view that's intensely thought and felt albeit against the norm. Who are we to assume exactly the true motivations of Pogorelich's performance decisions? Bravo Pogorelich!

MERCI

Wow!

Recording dedicated to the memory of Pogorelich`s mentor, teacher, and wife, Aliza Kezeradze, who lovingly passed on to him the tradition of the Liszt-Siloti school, before her untimely death in 1996. This recording pays homage to this exceptionally refined, visionary, and truly revolutionary woman, who made Pogorelich not only a unique artist of genius, but the best ever at the level of Horowitz and Maria Callas. Ivo Pogorelich is not only an artist of the highest caliber, discipline and musicianship, but the archetype of the modern artist, the isolated and courageous master, who finds his own way to new heights of expression, no matter the prejudices or the barriers of misunderstanding raised against him. He stands alone at the beginning of a new epoch like a prophet, mapping the routes that art would take. Pogorelich´s cathartic and mystical sound, is concerned with the ultimate mysteries that transcend this world. His grandiose, colossal and majestic art, symbolizes the struggle of the human soul to find release from the bonds of its material body. His exquisite and overwhelming music continues to echo throughout the entire performance and beyond, so the action is at once momentary, eternal and complete. Pogorelich´s interpretations are indescribably beautiful and irresistible. His sound is pure poetry and extremely emotional, yet entirely unsentimental. We are hypnotized by his new and radical naturalness, by his nobility, dignity, severity and sobriety; transporting us to states of wonder, ecstasy, meditation, love and compassion. -------------------- Sound and Silence, Life and Death, Time and Space; collapse into the Eternal moment of Infinity.

pires who is now 72, has wise comments in her new recording of beethoven piano concertos 3 and 4 in her new label - onyx -. comments about the job of the interpreter, about what she called the simple miracle of bringing and opening up the work, the score, the composer, to life...yielding to the source of all music. she talks about the difficulty of how much personality can the interpreter show in order to give life to the score...at the risk of betraying the spirit of the work; or on the contrary, showing the score the utmost respect suppressing interpreters personality to achieve a perfect but sometimes lifeless reading her thoughts made me think how brave are geniuses like maria callas, horowitz and ivo...showing their personality so much...taking high risks...receiving hard critics and envy...but never betraying the spirit of the work...thus giving more life to music than other artists anyway pires was brave enough to resign from d.g. after so many good records and years...cause she wanted to have freedom to choose her recording repertoire...and so she just did recently dedicating her new recording of beethoven in - onyx - to her lost friend claudio abbado so please ivo,do the same,quit d.g. and give us a few presents recording anywhere your last masterpieces, do not wait till you are 72 like pires to do it pires explained herself freer than ever in a recent interview " music should be an act and a world of purity, of serenity, it should be a mission, like teachers do, like medical doctors, actors, philosophers...who simply try to make a better world. music should not be a means of self promotion or for making money like it is now. many managers and record companies are the ones to blame. many young musicians are lost cause of this decadence. i broke my d.g. contract because of this and because in one of their cd records a d.g. artist appeared in an unmusical, anti-artistic, unethical attitude. so because of this i wrote the president of d.g. a resigning letter. that is exactly what young artists are forced to do to just sell copies for money and not for the sake and to honor what music should be. " thank you pires, and ivo, for your dignity,generosity, courage and for your life to music.

I am confused. His wife died in 1996. How come a 1993 concert was in her memory? A fantastic performance otherwise.

nO AFFECTATION EITHER: HIS BODY SHOWS THAT IT IS PART OF THE INSTRUMENT THROUGH WHICH MUSIC SOUNDS AND TAKES FORM. BRAVISIMO.

Liszt fue profesor en París. En 1831-1832 entre sus alumnos, se encontraba Valérie Boissier, cuya madre, Caroline, escribió un minucioso diario de las lecciones. Por ella sabemos que: " La interpretación de M[onsieur]. Liszt contiene abandono, un sentimiento liberado, pero incluso cuando se convierte en impetuoso y enérgico en su fortissimo, sigue siendo sin dureza ni sequedad. [...] Obtiene del piano tonos que son más puros, suaves y enérgicos que los que nadie ha sido capaz de conseguir; su toque tiene un encanto indescriptible. [...] Es el enemigo de las expresiones fingidas, forzadas o retorcidas. Sobre todo, quiere la verdad en el sentimiento musical, y por eso hace un estudio psicológico de sus emociones para transmitirlas como son. Así, a menudo una fuerte expresión es seguida por una sensación de fatiga y abatimiento, una especie de frialdad, porque esta es la forma en que funciona la naturaleza. "

Looks intense... He's a very good player.

Брависсимо, Иво- Ивушка! Звучит оркестр!❤️❤️🌻👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

Ici dans les commentaires on critique beaucoup le tempo.. vous êtes pressés? C'est monumental! après Horowitz je ne pensais pas que quelqu'un pourrait m’impressionner en interprétant cette sonate. (pour savoir sa femme était Alice Kezeradze(géorgienne) et pas Kerezade ;-)

Horowitz en 1932 ! Effectivement cette interprétation est magnifique. Pogorelich nous montre depuis quelques années déjà que le tempo est infiniment relatif.

Flipo tio.

It is called Art.

hola lore, hija mia, acabo de escuchar esta musica otra vez...ya sin duda es algo de otro mundo, esta cerquita de Dios, tu escuchala con los ojos cerrados, veras la fuerza y el don que tiene, es magica, este pianista es el mejor del mundo, va por d.f. a veces, ve a escucharlo, a mi me dio una fuerza infinita para aguantar el dolor de la vida, de tu secuestro incomunicado por tu madre, quizas nunca te vere, pero mas tarde en el cielo, si, y para siempre, de este pianista escribi en ingles ... Sound and Silence, Life and Death, Time and Space; collapse into the Eternal moment of Infinity.....me emociona pensar en el tiempo y en el espacio...11 años sin poder verte o abrazarte...tan injustamente separados por tu madre...pero algun dia el tiempo y el espacio, se haran eternamente infinitos y presentes, en el cielo, donde se unen abrazadas la vida y la muerte, alli te vere, y te enseñare musica rodeandote de los angeles y las musas que te mereces, te quiero, papa

really impressive, why studio version is not like this!!? it's really a pity...does exist a version with better audio quality?

3 dimensions of music (melody,harmony,structure) in the most perfect balance 4 elements (earth,water,air,fire) in most poetic beautiful equilibruim controlled passion to infinity ...freezes time and space..., collapses sound and silence, just a white rainbow, in a black circle, shooting burning star in slow motion.... eternity. greatest little miracle, muses introducing us to Creator.

Who was it said that the pianist should spin a threat from one end of a piece to the other, stretching it to breaking point but just, only just, holding it together (or words to that effect)? Well, that's precisely what Pogorelich does here. And anyone who thinks it's not phenomenally difficult should try it. Yes, you could quibble with this or that detail, but surely in this of all pieces it's the overall emotional punch that counts, and Liszt Sonatas don't come much more emotionally punchy than this. Phew!

EL SONIDO DE IVO DE AHORA Y DE SIEMPRE SE RESUME EN ESTA CRITICA DE MIQUEL GENE DE UN RECITAL EN BARCELONA EN MAYO 2015, "...Lo más interesante que Pogorelich nos mostró fue, precisamente, su profundidad interpretativa. Detrás de cada nota, de cada frase, de cada pasaje, se escondía una meditación intensa, una decisión consciente. Y esto se hacía patente en cada uno de los recursos expresivos que el pianista desplegó para comunicarnos sus ideas sobre lo que tocaba y sobre la música en general. La capacidad para hacer transparente el timbre de cada sonido, de desgranar el contenido de una sola nota en el conjunto de armónicos que la componen y la reverberación del espacio que lo rodea. El dominio absoluto de la frase, que se permitía desintegrarse y volver a integrar como si se tratara de un ilusionista, con una gran habilidad para crear un discurso unitario a partir de la adición de líneas melódicas. El control del toque, que supo llevar allí donde quiso: la profundidad ancha de los graves, también brillantes; los medios aterciopelados, bien resguardados por el pedal izquierdo; los agudos más tiernos y transparentes y también a los más agresivos. Una gran paleta de colores con la que Pogorelich no se cansaba de abrir mundos sonoros por donde corrían sus dedos. Más allá de la libertad métrica, los excesos de agresividad en los ataques o de la sobreactuación en la acentuación lo que más nos podía impactar a primera vista, Pogorelich demostró que la música, en sus manos, está absolutamente abierta una reinterpretación no sólo superficial, sino desde sus mismas raíces, y que la lectura de obras de más de un siglo de antigüedad puede ser una experiencia nueva y excitante. Algunas muestras. En la Después une lecture du Dante de Franz Liszt, una obra de estructura compleja, Pogorelich explotó al máximo esta idea fragmentaria, y la hizo evidente tanto en la construcción de la forma externa como en la estructuración interna de sus elementos. En la Fantasía en Do mayor, op. 17 de Robert Schumann, dibujó dos finales soberbios: el primero con cada nota y cada ataque, concebidos de manera aislada del resto, pero integrados maravillosamente en un sonido transparente y lleno de luz. El segundo uniendo diferentes voces en un fraseo común, imposible, el que hizo el conjunto realmente más valioso que la suma de sus partes. Los Tres movimientos de Petrushka, op. 60 de Igor Stravinsky, fueron leídos desde la absoluta libertad métrica, con un sonido denso y compacto dentro del cual se podían seguir todos sus elementos. Y en las Variaciones sobre un tema de Paganini, op. 35 de Johannes Brahms, el tema ya era una variación de lo que podría ser y Pogorelich decidió iluminar aquellos planes que a menudo permanecen ocultos." HAY POCO MAS QUE SE PUEDA DECIR DE POGORELICH...PROFUNDIDAD...MEDITACION INTENSA...HACER TRANSPARENTE EL TIMBRE DE CADA SONIDO...DESGRANAR CADA NOTA EN EL CONJUNTO DE ARMONICOS QUE LA COMPONEN Y LA REVERBERACION DEL ESPACIO QUE LA RODEA...DOMINIO ABSOLUTO DE LA FRASE PARA DESINTEGRARSE Y VOLVER A INTEGRARSE....GRAN PALETA DE COLORES...LIBERTAD METRICA...REINTERPRETACION DE LA MUSICA DESDE SUS RAICES...UNIR LAS DIFERENTES VOCES EN UN FRASEO COMUN, IMPOSIBLE, HACIENDO EL CONJUNTO MAS VALIOSO QUE LA SUMA DE SUS PARTES....ILUMINAR LO OCULTO...DE MUY POCOS GENIOS SE PUEDE HABLAR ASI...HOROWITZ, CALLAS...QUE TAMBIEN SUFRIERON MISERIAS, TRIUNFO, INCOMPRENSION, ENVIDIA, SOLEDAD, ABANDONO ...QUE EL TIEMPO BARRIO DEJANDO PASO A LA FUERZA, LA VERDAD Y LA ETERNIDAD DE SU MUSICA.

Such powerful playing. Very emotional but unfortunately causes the piano to fall out of tune. Do you know what other pieces were on the program?

es ist ja toll

Thank you , amazing video. Where is the Piano Tuner? Horowitz Private Collection Carnegie Hall is the bench mark.

piano was very bad.. no problem... music as great as this goes beyond... pogorelich is the bench mark in almost everything he recorded, after goes vladimir and the rest

I love the "shadiness" of this video recording. I felt like I was breaking rules just watching the video haha. Chopin4321, did you take this? :)

bueno os pongo aqui algo que opino de ivo que escribi en su maravillosa y reciente grabacion de 3 obras de granados..." la primer vez que escuchas este granados te choca, como casi todo lo de ivo...te tira pa tras y te atrae a la vez...es normal que sea asi...es un shock...es tan innovador, tan radical, y tan diferente del resto de interpretaciones del pasado... parecen casi obras nuevas recien descubiertas, que se tocan solas, tocar asi es un trabajo gigantesco de orfebre, cada nota tiene un sentido y un sitio magico y maravilloso, y limpio...decia ivo en una entrevista que tardaba muchos meses solo en limpiar, en quitar el exceso de azucar y sentimentalismo que acumulan las obras por la vulgar y pesima tradicion de tocarlas demasiado empalagosas... a pesar del talento de ivo tan grande, imagino el trabajo y esfuerzo infinitos que realiza en el estudio de todo lo que toca...una vez dijo que el trabajo de un interprete es tan duro como el de un esclavo de galeras, siempre me quedo esa imagen de rigor y de dolor en el estudio, de sacrificio y sufrimiento para alcanzar la gran belleza, como un san sebastian con sus flechas...estoico y sagrado, por eso toca tan pocas obras comparado con otros, pero mejor que nadie, ivo universaliza, engrandece e inmortaliza el espiritu, alma y arte español, aqui estan sancho y quijote, un caballero español, siglos de honor y el saber perder un imperio, goya y velazquez, el duende de lorca, el caballero de la mano en el pecho de el greco, el cubismo de picasso, el andar, mirar y estar de españa, su sabiduria, su silencio mistico y su soledad sonora. "

You just don't get this type of performance in a studio. But after hearing how far the piano went out of tune I can understand why making recordings for sale is preferred in controlled environment. Hoped they kicked the crap out of the guy who tuned this piano!

Alexandr Pushkin (1799-1837) On the hills of Georgia lies the darkness of the night... On the hills of Georgia lies the darkness of the night, Aragva murmurs underneath. I'm sad, yet light, my sorrow's bright, My sorrow's filled with you. With you, you only ... My melancholy, Nothing can torment or disturb, My heart, it burns and loves anew - because It cannot live without loving. Translated by Nick and Dimitri Derkatch На холмах Грузии лежит ночная мгла... На холмах Грузии лежит ночная мгла; Шумит Арагва предо мною. Мне грустно и легко; печаль моя светла; Печаль моя полна тобою, Тобой, одной тобой... Унынья моего Ничто не мучит, не тревожит, И сердце вновь горит и любит - оттого, Что не любить оно не может. 1829

I PREFER Ivo Pogorelich's interpretation because it's full of emotion!

Se queste non sono le capacità di un angelo...........

@Mooweedy To me, it would be harder to follow music that fast than to memorize it!

The description is much more interesting than the performance itself. Such going overboard is really amusing. As for Ivo, the man is fascinating, but I don't what sense it makes to hail him as by far the greatest genius at the piano, ever. He is not. Nobody is. It's not difficult not to respect sincerity, but it's even more difficult to appreciate his VERY unusual ideas of tempi and accents.

Thanks for the upload though I can't get it: Alize died in 1996. How can Pogorelich play a piece as a homage to her, in 1993?

+cagin no problem cagin, wellcome, you know...there is so much false and artificial music around...maybe perfect sound recordings but so cold...music without muses is not music, is just sound..., ivo here plays so natural, so authentic...one take, 36 minutes...no cuts..no tricks, no processing...and the poor piano out of tune and getting worse...but this is so real, this is music, muses all around, when i listen to this recording just can´t stop it till the final magical silence, his cd doesn´t have that mystery, other pianists are boring... the homage and dedication to pogorelich´s wife is intended by me, by making public my private recording, sharing it with you all, honoring her memory, and pogorelich, i never met her, but i heard she was one of the most refined, hard, best teachers ever, a vissionary, and this is confirmed by many pogorelich recordings which are among the best performances ever in history. i am sure almost everything ivo plays is a homage to aliza kezeradze. almost no one talks about her, i´m glad you did, god bless her.
