Free Music Review: Sheer Perfection
Hit: 5 Stars
It seems that the Bach English Suites Nos. 2 and 3 are the only works of Bach that Ivo Pogorelich has recorded.
Being a pianist with a pre-dominantly romantic repertoire, it comes a little bit unexpectant that he could come up with such a perfect performance of baroque works as well.
Expecting or not, the performances of these baroque pieces are for many many years the best I have heard. Even if Angela Hewitt made a whole compilation of Bach's works, I would still hesitate to say that she could surpass Ivo in his artistry demonstrated so early on in his album.
The preludes to the two suites were simply played to perfection - I cannot choose another word. The dances of the suites have the absolutely appropriate lilt, nuance, touch, musical taste and melodic lines. The contrapuntal lines are so well grasped that you would only expect from a top-notch baroque interpretor. And even top-notch interpretors may not necessarily have the ability to display the lines in such a manner as Pogorelich does. His ability to understand, to display, and to re-live the music in these works is simply stunning.
Whether you are a beginner of Bach and Scarlatti, or a seasoned expert in such works, you will surely love this disc like no other.
Bach: Englische Suiten 2 & 3; Scarlatti: 4 Sonaten Poster
While Ivo Pogorelich Established his Reputation Performing Mainly Romantic Repertoire, his Few Forays Into the Baroque Reveal Him to Be an Equally Engaging- If Not Eccentric Musician Here as Well. In Quicker Movements, Such as the Opening Preludes of the English Suites for Instance Pogorelich's Rhythmic Control and Contrapuntal Clarity Are Simply Amazing. Slower Movements Likewise Are Handled with Remarkable Intensity and Delicacy. Pogorelich's Performances of Four Scarlatti Sonatas Concluding the Program as Well Are Wonderfully Animated and Knowing.Classical Music CDs
