Biography

The legendary pianist Ivo Pogorelich has marked the classical music scene of our time. His unique musical talent and innovative approach have placed him among the most original music minds of today. Pogorelich’s adventurous spirit, valued for the lucidity in his discovery of new capacities of musical expression, is cloaked in pianism of the highest aesthetic value, inimitable virtuosity and technical mastery. His evocative interpretations, shaped by a refined music taste, the likes of which are rare in our time, have broadened the horizons of the interpretation and understanding of piano literature by setting new standards for pianistic interpretation. Thanks to his uncompromising artistic criteria and dedicated search for the ideal of music expression, Pogorelich has, in over four decades of playing, realised authentic achievements, appreciated by both audiences and critics alike, while his concerts all over the world have gained the status of eagerly-awaited cult events.

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.
