This is a lot better than I was expecting. But holy shit, homey needs to wear a hat or something.
Sgouros tween years pretty legendary. Somebody posted a live rach three with the most insane big dick chordal playing ever in first mov cadenza.
He played Rach 2 in Zagreb some 13 years ago. It was ok but boring…
In all honesty I never think he was particularly good. Lots of talent, but no real musical mind guiding it to do something useful.
I used to have a friend who had his lessons (at the RAM?) right after Sgouros. He said it was very embarrassing! He also said other things…
Elaborate
It was ages ago, but I remember he said Sgouros never wore socks, and apparently wasn’t a fan of wearing clothes at all when he could get away with it. Other similar things, he was apparently a bit weird.
True, this must have been at the RAM. My friend was British, and I see Sgouros did study there.
Wonders of the digital age - I actually just found the Sgouros conversation (from 2001!). I haven’t figured this out yet, is what I post here restricted in some way or open to everyone? Will google pick it up?
Edit: nevermind actually. The gist of it is that he was very odd, and had remarkable musical gifts - which I suppose everyone already knows anyway.
Randomly da Sgouros still hot.
I firmly believe dat men get mo attractive as dey age, dem chix dig dat balding as fuck look.
It means you got high T levels.
Dey can judge yo fingah speed based on yo tube vids, den check out yo bald scalp - and rest assured dat you will step up to da plate (oh fuck, not DAT plate) n satisfy dem every taime.

Hell, I’m pasting in the Sgouros conversation anyway since it has some amazing claims. Please forgive the overexcited little teenage xsdc.

----- 2001-09- 20:59 I've decided that I'm going to buy the Shelley
series. He's not consistently wonderful but I
think he's worth paying for.
Christian 2001-09- 21:00 Cool!
Christian 2001-09- 21:00 Well, it's not that many vols left, is there. The
Sonatas, the other Prelude volume, and early
pieces................that's it, isn't it?
----- 2001-09- 21:00 Did you know that Rachmaninov wrote the whole
op.32 set in 19 days and that he wrote three of
them on the same day???
----- 2001-09- 21:01 Yes, there's a 2-piano one as well.
Christian 2001-09- 21:04 Wow!!
No I didn't! People say Volodos learnt the Rach-3
in 3 days. Some critic said he probably learnt
the 3rd concerto in 3 days, the 2nd in 2 days,
the 1st in one day and rested on the 7th day.
A religious critic for sure. :)
Christian 2001-09- 21:05 I have Demidenko's and Alexeiev's 2 piano CD,
coupled with two works by Medtner. I can send it
if you want to. It's fabulous playing.
----- 2001-09- 21:05 Dmitri Sgouros learnt Rachmaninov 3 in a weekend
and played it in concert with Rostropovich the
next night!
----- 2001-09- 21:06 Yes please. I'd like that.
----- 2001-09- 21:07 I once saw Sgouros sight-reading the
Transcendentals.......!
Christian 2001-09- 21:08 They are responsible for the by far best Second
Suite I've ever heard. The entire CD is
absolutely amazing really.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is he??? I haven't even heard of him!
----- 2001-09- 21:09 He was a Greek child prodigy. We had the same
teacher at the Academy. Unfortunately for me, I
had my lesson straight after his. Very
embarrassing!
Christian 2001-09- 21:09 !!!!!!!!
Christian 2001-09- 21:09 So you met him several times then?
----- 2001-09- 21:11 I never knew him. he used to have his lesson and
leave. I remember as he was reading the
Transcendentals, my teacher was giving him
corrections - he just carried on playing and then
repeated them with all the corrections. It was
incredible. Not a single wrong note either (even
1st time around).
Christian 2001-09- 21:11 That's really amazingly amazing!!!
Did he record anything?
----- 2001-09- 21:12 Yes, Rachmaninov 3, Brahms 1st, Paganini Etudes
and maybe some other things.
Christian 2001-09- 21:12 Have you heard any of these?
----- 2001-09- 21:13 No but I did see him in concert. He's actually a
crap pianist :-)
Christian 2001-09- 21:13 :)
Only good as a child?
----- 2001-09- 21:14 he just had an amazing facility - a freak gift. I
don't think he was much of a musician and I
remember he made a horrible sound.
Christian 2001-09- 21:14 Ok.
Christian 2001-09- 21:15 Have you heard Kullak's concerto?
----- 2001-09- 21:15 He was a bit odd too. He never wore socks and
apparently didn't like wearing clothes at all.
Fortunately he wore them at the Academy though.
Christian 2001-09- 21:15 :))
----- 2001-09- 21:16 Never - I'd like to.
Funny the Demidenko/Alexeev should turn up here as well incidentally. Tru, a fan already then.
That sums up my Sgouros experience pretty well. 
Yes, mine too. I have listened a little bit at least to Sgouros since this conversation, and I think my friend was spot on. A freak, as it were, but a rather inconsequential one.
Rubinstein said he was the best pianist he’d ever heard, including himself. Da ruby’s ears a bit fucked up in old age, tru. And tru ICQ! That brings me back.

Well, he said similar things about Fialkowska, Tomsic. And this was also while Sgouros was still a child. For his age he must truly have been impressive.
