I just read about this. It seems so wrong.... and what was the age difference?
I did hear a report of a bald headed Pogorelich playing Beethoven's op. 111 in Chicago stating it was a juvenile effort, musically and technically atrocious, and an offense to the piece. I was not present and have not heard any recording to confirm or deny the assertions myself, but hasn't Pogorelich always been an odd and provocative artist? I guess that can be good and bad.
Why wrong?
