Ivo Pogorelich belongs to the artists who create extreme feelings among the audience. There are auditors who are passionate with his daring artistic choices, while others are more reserved towards them; yet nobody can remain indifferent about his performances, way more when it is a great concerto such Second Concerto by the "poet of the piano", Frédéric Chopin, which accompanies the pianist ever since his early youth. Then the much sought-after French maestro Philippe Auguin leads the performance of one of the Romantic repertoire’s most iconic and evergreen works, Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique.
