Thank you for remembering my great countryman, the greatest living Croatian musician.
Not to be confused, it's true, Ivo was born in Belgrade, Serbia, ex Yugoslavi, but his father was a Croat, and after 1980 he was living in Croatia - besides London, Lugano etc. - and since Croatia got became independant he is Croatian citizen.
Nevertheless, maestro Pogorelic and his art belong to the whole world and he is true citizen of world. I will enjoy his concert in Milano on 22 Oct at La Scala (Rachmaninoff 2 with Filharmonica della Scala and maestro Myung-Whun Chung)
