Ivo Pogorelich

In this documentary from 1983, pianist and “enfant terrible” Ivo Pogorelich is seen in the intimacy of his home, learning and rehearsing Joseph-Maurice Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit (after a prose poem by Aloysius Bertrand), this piece being one of the most outstanding demonstrations of his virtuosity.

In 1981, piano virtuoso Ivo Pogorelich took the stage at New York City's Carnegie Hall, and a musical star was born. This concert video features the pianist performing works from some of the world's greatest composers, including Johann Sebastian Bach's "English Suite No. 2 in A Minor" and Ludwig van Beethoven's "Fur Elise in A Minor." Pogorelich also plays selections from Frédéric Chopin, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Sergey Prokofiev, among others.

At the peak of his career, Ivo Pogorelich was filmed at Racconigi Castle in Italy playing four major works by Chopin as well as sonatas by Haydn an dMozart. Director Horant H. Hohlfeld captures the pianist's virtuosity in revealing close-ups.
