Ivo Pogorelich

[kreso]

Hy, I'm interesting to hear:

What do you think about Ivo Pogorelich-his records, concerts..?

Here in Croatia, a lot of peple doesn't like his new stile of playing , so I'm interesting to hear has anybody listen his last concerts...
(I heard that he had a tour in SAD I think this year..)

I just type his name in Piano Street "Search" and found I lot of intereseting things from his concerts, so I found out What I was looking for....

just as with many concert artists, some like some of the music, but not all.  i LOVE his scarlatti!  and, actually, most everything i've heard.

Yes, everything he touches is so interesting and unique..

As one critic said: Love him or hate him, Pogorelich guarantee a reaction!

What is different about the "new style"? I liked the "old style"...

Well, now he plays extremely slow tempos (in Zagreb he played Beeth. op.111 for one hour), and this is the main thing why some people who like him before, doesn't like him now.

But. now he is much more ripe, and you can hear that in his way of playing-
there are thousands colours which he can get which each finger and sound is so beautifull, aspecialy his pianissimo trills in the last page of op.111-there were so quite and you could feel the magic in the air....

you have to hear and feel that, there are no words for describing his art...
