About Ivo Pogorelich
Artist Biography
Ivo Pogorelich is among the most provocative pianists on the modern scene, known for entirely original interpretations that may be ungrounded in the notation of the work being played. At the top of his powers, he can impart rhythmic drive and intensity matched by few other players. Pogorelich made his debut at Carnegie Hall in 1981 and was signed to the Deutsche Grammophon label the following year, making his debut with a well-regarded recording of Prokofiev's Piano Sonata No. 6 in A major, Op. 82. To aid younger pianists, Pogorelich established an Ivo Pogorelich Foundation in Croatia and an Ivo Pogorelich Piano Competition in California. In 2019, he released an album of Beethoven and Rachmaninov piano sonatas, and in 2022, he issued the recital album Chopin.
