About this Performance
Ivo Pogorelich excites debate and discussion every bit as much today as he did when he burst on to the scene at the International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition in 1980. Described as a genius, he brings his own very distinct interpretations to well-known piano works such as Chopin's Nocturne and Liszt's Mephisto Waltz and a huge wealth of colour from the piano in works like Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit.
'Sensitive to the music's shifting moods, Mr Pogorelich is muscular and virile one moment, delicate and pristine the next' The New York Times
'technically astounding, deeply personal and unabashedly eccentric playing.' The New York Times
