Pogorelich is a living piano legend by virtue of his unique interpretations of the principal pieces of the piano literature – renowned is the incident in 1980 when Martha Argerich quit the Warsaw Chopin Competition jury as a protest when Pogorelich did not win. “He is a genius,” was her verdict.That is what you still hear whenever Pogorelich performs, be it solo or with leading symphony orchestras. His playing is surpassingly brilliant and can be enjoyed in innumerable recordings from, among others, Deutsche Grammophon.At Mogens Dahl’s he will be playing feisty Liszt, languishing Schumann as well as audience favourites by Stravinsky and Brahms.
