Born in Belgrade in 1958, the son of a musician, Ivo Pogorelich started his musical education when he was seven, making, his solo concert debut at the very young age of 10. After his initial musical development in Belgrade, he moved to Moscow in 1970 to continue his education. He spent the following ten years there, first attending the Central Special Music School at the P. I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory, and then, between 1975 and 1980, studying at the Moscow Conservatory. A radical shift in his artistic development occurred after meeting the prominent Georgian pianist and pedagogue, Alisa Kezeradze, with whom he began an intense and fruitful professional cooperation in 1976. Thanks to her instruction about the basics of the Western tradition of the Russian pianist school, the foundations for which were set at the end of the nineteenth century by Liszt’s last pupil, Alexander Siloti, which Nina Plesceeva and Alisa Kezeradze built upon in the twentieth century, Pogorelich redefined his technique by adopting the knowledge gained from the many layers of experience of various generations of prominent piano artists. The exclusivity of this acquired knowledge, based on the generational line, the seventh after Beethoven and fifth after Liszt, would make Pogorelich stand out and guarantee him a special place in the historic constellation of world pianism.

Pogorelich experienced the first in a series of major successes as early as the mid-seventies, when he won a state competition in Zagreb in 1975, closely followed by the recording of his first LP album for the Jugoton recording label with performances of works by Debussy, Prokofiev and Kelemen. Pogorelich intensified his concert activity in 1978, when, as a soloist, he went on a two-month tour around the USA with the Dubrovnik Festival Orchestra. Only a few months later saw his first important international achievement when he won the Alessandro Casagrande Piano Competition in Terni. This victory paved the way for a variety of concerts throughout 1978 in Italian music centres such as Naples and Milan, at the Spoleto Festival, as well as numerous others.
