🎤 Ivo Pogorelich

About

Ivo Pogorelich is a Croatian pianist known for his highly individual approach to the classical repertoire. He trained in Moscow under Aliza Kezeradze and came to international attention after his controversial elimination from the 1980 Chopin Competition in Warsaw - a decision that prompted jury member Martha Argerich to resign in protest. His playing is marked by bold tempos and a striking personal voice.
