Ivo Pogorelić at the Chopin Festival in Warsaw

Jonathan Sutherland, 20th August

Ivo Pogorelić’s return to Warsaw thirty-five years after his triumphant failure in the 1980 International Chopin Piano Competition should have been an occasion for great expectations. Sadly it was more like Hard Times.

Alain Matalon, 26th March

Ivo Pogorelich returns to Istanbul with an utterly arduous programme. Mr Pogorelić may have his adversaries and his admirers, but this was a triumphant evening for piano music.

Philharmonia and Pogorelich perform an all-Russian programme

Hannah Gill, 25th November
