L'absolue perfection sur tous les plans...

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...........

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!

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

I enjoy *this* performance of Michelangeli playing Scarlatti's K27 sonata than another one of his on KZread. 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.

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.

E Van Cliburn, não foi um gênio?

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).

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).
