Ivo Pogorelich (piano)About
Chopin is the composer with which Pogorelich started his recording career in 1981. At the age of 22, he took park in the 1980 International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, where his talent drew immediate attention, being described by judge Martha Argerich as a ‘genius’. In fact, Pogorelich caused scandal at the competition after he was eliminated before the final round, and Argerich left the jury in protest.
Following this, Pogorelich’s debut album became an instant bestseller. Since then, he has committed himself to offering new insights into Chopin’s world and music, through his recorded and performed works – no longer is Chopin the stereotyped salon composer.
Though this is Pogorelich’s fifth Chopin album, it is a landmark recording since it is his first in over twenty years. To Pogorelich, Chopin is able to make piano a gateway to the soul: “Chopin delivers an open invitation to penetrate human psychology. It’s a specific invitation to continually seek out and explore every possibility that the piano has to offer. That’s a never-ending process, and it will continue to challenge new generations of artists in the future too.”
For this album, he has chosen works from the last decade of Chopin’s life, the 1840s. These include the Nocturnes, op.48 no.1 and op.62 no.2, the Fantasy, op.49, and Chopin’s third and last Piano Sonata, op.58. This is a landmark recording by a globally acclaimed master – though much performed and popular, Ivo Pogorelich has transformed these works into an exciting new encounter with Frédéric Chopin.
