Ivo Pogorelich the consecration of music

<p>Between silence and thunder Ivo Pogorelich has always walked alone.</p><p>Neither prodigy nor rebel by design he is one of those rare musicians who do not seek to seduce but to reveal. With him music ceases to be performance and becomes a place of risk of tension of almost sacred exposure. Each tempo stretches time each pause questions our listening habits each interpretation opens a fault line beneath the familiar.</p><p>In <em>Ivo Pogorelich The Consecration of Music</em> Christian Soleil approaches this singular figure with the precision of a musicologist and the sensitivity of a writer. He retraces a journey shaped by absolute demands solitude and an uncompromising vision of art where fidelity is never obedience and freedom is never comfort.</p><p>This book is not a portrait frozen in admiration. It is an invitation to listen differently-to accept that music when taken seriously can unsettle disturb even divide and that this is precisely where its truth lies.</p><p>To read these pages is to enter a rare space where interpretation becomes an act of faith and music once again is consecrated.</p>
