I wasn't aware that he would take quite *that* much liberty with the original score. I didn't think people did that with Balakirev. It works, but the changes at around 1:00 caught me very much by surprise.

Astonishing that this is humanly possible. However, what I notice the most in following the score is how I P ignores the dynamic contrasts requested by the composer. No doubt those passages are harder to play p or pp than f, but his way, they all sound the same.

Hard, but far from top ten. Probably not even in top 100, if you consider Stockhausen, Finnissy, Ferneyhough, Sorabji. Here are some harder pieces that are also actual music: Alkan's solo concerto, Le Festin d'Esope, Liszt's Beethoven transcriptions (not sure if all of them), Feinberg's sonatas, Szymanowski's sonatas, Ives' sonatas, Mereaux' etudes, Liszt, Gaspard de la nuit, Alkan's Trois Grandes Etudes, Le Preux, Comme le vent, Godowsky's Chopin etudes, Fantasia Contrappuntistica, Liszt's Spanish Fantasy and Spanish Songbook, Liszt's transcription of Symphonie Fantastique, Beethoven's Hammerklavier, Alkan's Scherzo Focoso, Brahms' Paganini variations, some of Scriabin's sonatas, Rachmaninoff's 1st version of the 2nd sonata, 3 Movements from The Firebird. And there are many more, of course.

This may well be the definitive recording of this piece, but you owe yourself to listen to the Horowitz recording. It's more of a "Horowitz-Balakirev" piece, but it's worth a listen. I also expect with the new crop of pianists out of the orient, we'll see new recordings which will show additional facets of this marvelous piece.

I had the pleasure of being at this performance at Carnegie Hall. It was incredible. However, recently I experienced Masaya Kamei's performance of Islamey during his Semi-Final at The Cliburn, and actually like it far more. Seems more modern, cleaner, and more respectful of the beauty of the composition, less about showboating and being bombastic. kzitem.info/news/bejne/mI1tk2uuj4yfY6w Islamey starts at the 49:40 minute mark in the link.

While I do agree with your opinion, I think there's something ballsy about this kind of "old school interpretations" (Pogorelich is not really old school, but his playing resembles it somewhat) . This kind of "giving no fucks" interpretation is usually missed in today's time, where we have switched to a more academic approach of pieces rather than each pianist having a unique, more aggresive personal style. In my opinion, it is more pleasant to listen to this pieces played the way they are played now, but I do enjoy hearing a different interpretation every now and then. For example, see Hoffman playing Ballade 4 or butterfly etude. kzitem.info/news/bejne/x6eGtGidkatpZmk kzitem.info/news/bejne/lomkqadqhIxlfX4

@@kalikatespeliculero4771 Pogorelich was incredible in concert. I think that wild abandon suits a live in-person performance. It's exhilarating. But when it is recorded via audio or video, I appreciate a more accurate playing of the compositions. Masaya Kamei also has a softer and more poetic approach in his playing, which I am more drawn to these days. With all the craziness happening in the world, I appreciate a more sensitive, almost vulnerable interpretation.
