If you're a purist, stop reading now. This is a bit like Glenn Gould playing Beethoven Sonatas. But I think there's really interesting stuff here. From the poster's comments:

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

For me it is all about expression. One could argue that is because I lack technical skill, but there it is. |

Finally

Just breezin' through some of them. #3 #2, was it just my old ears, or did he delay the right hand's entry on some of the phrases just *that* much? He does that a bit in #15 as well (last measure of the first line on the 2nd page). Lots of fluid tempo in #15's middle section, I might add. Quality of the recording seems pretty good, by the way. Nah. Gould went out his way to be weird (see his recording of the Mozart A - Major (K 331) (theme and variations movement). His phrasing is *all* wrong. His tempo is just odd for the sake of being odd. For example variation 5, marked "Adagio" is played "Allegro," if not faster. Here, at 6:20: But, sorry for the hijack. I think Pogo is more true to the music, and more true to the intents of the composer than Gould ever was, despite his own idiosyncrasies. |

HOLY CARP!!!

Thanks for the link. I'm a big fan of Pogorelich. I love his Scarlatti recordings a lot. I listened to the first half so far. Pretty good. Not particularly extentric imo. Incredible voicing in no. 6. Didn't like #8. Too slow and mushy. |
