I heard Pogorelich play Gaspard de la Nuit at the Sydney Opera House in the early 1980s. That night, he revealed an Aladdin's Cave of such musical wonders to the audience, that no one left the Concert Hall as they had first arrived. Following the death of his wife, a certain "distortion" set in to see his playing change, that he suffered even further through the criticisms of detractors who as always, knew no better. The two performances that I attended may well be the greatest experiences of my musical life. Take him or leave him, one thing you can never do, is forget him. He is, as was the dancer Rudolf Nureyev, an artist of the highest order, who sprays his work with his blood.

His pacing is just right, the mood is right, for after all let's not forget what "Scarbo" is... (one needs to read the poem). There is however one thing where you are wrong: Ravel died in 1937, and Pogorelich was born in 1958... so Ravel could not have said anything to Pogorelich, as they never met. Best wishes!
