On the day before we began recording the concerto we performed it in concert, and then we tried to bring the same live quality to our playing in the studio. Mere routine would be especially dangerous in the case of this work. I am glad that Claudio Abbado and the orchestra fully shared my view in this matter, and that every instrumentalist gave of his best. Above all the pianist must not seek merely to dazzle, but must allow complete equality to the orchestra when a theme is taken up by the woodwind, or the lower strings reveal structural features of the music, they must really be audible – the concerto must not be swamped by the flood of sound poured out by the pianist. But it is after that that the real work begins you have to get into the frame of mind in which Tchaikovsky wrote this work to discover its secrets. It is true that you have to toil like a galley slave to master the technical difficulties of the piano part. What it needs is partnership, not ostentatious cascades of sound with humble orchestral accompaniment. It became my purpose to show that Tchaikovsky had written a genuine dialogue between piano and orchestra. Now I realized that wasn’t what he’d had in mind. It was all those up-and-coming pianists around me who had been reducing the concerto to a common denominator, subjecting Tchaikovsky to the circus act of their interpretation. It certainly isn’t the stale, self-satisfied jangle of notes which had so got on my nerves as the practice piece of my fellow students! I had thought that this concerto reduced all pianists to a common denominator, whether they were young or old, Russian or American. All I could hear was a virtuoso piece for up-and-coming pianists, a test of finger dexterity – not art.Īt last, when I was 18, I began to study the concerto myself – and to rediscover it. But then my experiences as a student gradually turned me against the Concerto. Soon afterwards I heard it at a concert – an overwhelming impression. At that time I was thrilled by the way the piano sang and swelled with sound. “I first heard the B flat minor Concerto on the radio when I was five. You could hear it being hammered out by every other student I had an overdose of this music – I’d virtually been brought up on it.” He pondered. “My teachers told me that my hands were exactly right for the concerto, all my friends played it – but I didn’t”, he said with a laugh. Ivo Pogorelich was a student at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, so when I asked him when he had first played the Concerto in B flat minor I expected a totally different answer from the one I got.
