Ivo Pogorelich
In 1980, when he was still relatively unknown, Ivo Pogorelich entered the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw. His elimination after three rounds provoked the resignation of jury members including
Martha Argerich and made his name famous overnight. Today, Ivo Pogorelich talks to Joan Bakewell about his experiences at the competition and about its effect on his career. He reveals what he believes was behind the decision to eliminate him - laying the blame firmly at the door of the Soviet authorities.
