| I heard Pogorelich play Gaspard here in Sydney many years ago. He wrapped the audience up in the magic and warmth of his sound. It was incredible. I sometimes struggle not to say he is the greatest pianist of our time. But for me,truthfully, he is - he tells me things I need to hear. Bravo Ivo! You are much loved! |

| I think it's a little erroneous to compare Ravel and Debussy, let alone Beethoven. They are all worlds apart - yes? From Neville Cardus: "The difference between Ravel and Debussy was as great as that bewteen a solid and an essence". I adore both. The imagery of Debussy and those lean clean-cut lines of Ravel - one is satin and the other silk.Both are fine tailors! Cheers and best now.... |
| I wasn't comparing ... ( 3 months ago by johnmannno) |
| I wasn't comparing them in terms of their music, per se, because yes, they are worlds apart. However, I was comparing the QUALITY of their composition. The later piano sonatas by Beethoven are some of the greatest works ever composed. Ravel's works, though enjoyable, are not. I understand that this sentiment is against the tide of today's criticism, which seems to say that everything is equally good, however, I find it impossible to put Ravel and Beethoven on an equal footing. |
| Absolutely! The ... ( 3 months ago by PhillipLWilcher) |
| Absolutely! The later sonatas of Beethoven are some of the greatest works written. I think what neville Cardus said of Ravel and debussy was most atute. I understand what you are saying. Perhaps ravel and debussy are a little like Liszt and Chopin - I much prefer Chopin of course - he so closely aligned to Bach. Best wishes... |
| Yes, Chopin is ... ( 3 months ago by murksov) |
| Yes, Chopin is definetely underrated. "Frozen improvisation", "Salon-music" and all this stupid comments. And Ravel was a great composer who used a very definete and often "classic" structure in his works, while Debussy was a more conceptual inventor (think of the groundbreaking "La mer" and "Jeux". Pelleas e Melisande is from another world. But I would'nt judge, who is greater. They are different! |
| Agreed! Chopin's ... ( 3 months ago by PhillipLWilcher) |
| Agreed! Chopin's foundation is Bach - unquestionably. The F minor Ballade! I adore the "antiquity" of Ravel and the "imagery" of Debussy...another world, yes! |

| I know. Martha Argerich's recordings of the suite are too darn fast! Valentina Lisitsa, and one Perlemuter both play it at pretty much the same tempo as Pogorelich does here. *This* is the way it's to be played. Not blurred as Argerich does, but as you said: Ondine *should* be played fluid, smooth, and sparkling, as if one is taking an underwater stroll. |

| Wouldn't everything seem blurry to you, if you'd be taking an "underwater stroll" (lol?!)..? I think one cannot define the way Ravel, or any impressionist should be played (except of intolerable performances, like Gavrilov's). As for me, I prefer Argerich's take on Ondine, due to this blurriness; but still, Pogorelich's Scarbo is both intimidating and astounding - even Perlemuter was not able to surpass him in this piece. |

| This is a dreamy and unique Ondine, and joins my list of favorite performers of this magnificent piece: Gieseking, Michelangeli, Casadesus, and Argerich. When Pogorelich is good, he is very VERY good; check out his Scriabin on YouTube, Pogorelich has the most beautiful hands of any pianist I've seen. |

| Ivo has such fantastic control of the melody; able to let it sing and be heard without bull-horning it or killing it with the background. Mostly excellent precision. And very tasteful and moving interpretation. It's a very nice performance. Nice upload, spokoinoi. |
