Free Music Notes for Bach: Englische Suiten 2 & 3; Scarlatti: 4 Sonaten Album
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.
