Reviews

September 2019

[Rachmaninov] aggression undermines the patrician elegance of the musical message. This is an unexpectedly percussive and grumpy bear of a Rachmaninov. Whether the result sounds artificially imposed or revelatory will depend upon the taste and temperament of the listener. When tempos are not very fast, Pogorelich tends to wander as if losing interest – or losing the plot. Although capable of brilliant detail, as in the second movement of Beethoven’s Op 78, the overall approach is excessively belligerent and unruly, even for Beethoven.
