From Claudio Abbado to Pierre Boulez, from Bach to Verdi to Schoenberg, Nono and Stockhausen: A musical profile of the important milestones in his career, the musicians he has known and his varied repertoire.

There were several compelling reasons to make a film portrait of Maurizio Pollini: his immense talent as a pianist, his rare personality, his affability, intelligence and the desire he himself expressed to submit to this exercise for the very first time- probably because at the age of over 70, he felt that it was time to consent to a film portrait.
Based on an extended interview, the film also includes archival footage and excerpts from concerts and documentaries.
Original title: Maurizio Pollini, De main de maître - A musical profile of the famous pianist
Directed by Bruno Monsaingeon, 2014.

Un gran gran maestro siempre me gustó mucho escuchar sus interpretaciones 👏👍👍👍👍👍💞💞💞

[@onofrioscriba]

La sua pronuncia e i suoi parole sono chiarissimi anche per me. Per me esistono solo C. Voiteh, Mewton-wood e Pollini come pianisti.

Saw him in Brussels when we were about 20. " Beestachtig goed" said my friends on the " Muziekkamp Jeugd en Muziek" in Genval. Very good, indeed. But music and politics must be separated, except for composers.

Re 0:30..., how can I take anyone like this seriously ?

[@gjeacocke]

Why do you need to take mr pollini serious every piece he plays? My father does not take me serious when i swear but he doesn’t abandon me. Should a thump on the piano be taken so serious?

[@chopin4525]

@Mike Daniels You can't if you have a short attention span.

[@nikb6176]

Stockhausen has been a well known composer for many years now, have you been living under a rock? How can I take you seriously as any scholar of music? (based on your comment of course 😂)

[@phillipecook3227]

Stockhausen wrote this piece one morning when he couldn't find his sock.

[@elisabetta5044]

As a matter of fact, you don't know Stockhausen...

Not so long ago, I expressed my admiration for the Master for his wonderful, masterful playing, mature, full of life, enthusiasm and brilliance. A great virtuoso interpretation. I eagerly came back here to admire the Master, his wonderful playing, which provided us with so many emotional experiences, emotions, elation, inner strength and a sense of great beauty. Unimaginable sadness and grief overwhelmed me when I learned that he was no longer with us. It brings tears to my eyes and those who adored him. Disbelief... We have lost one of the greatest pianists in the world. His wonderful concerts remain... How difficult it will be to listen to them now, knowing that He is no longer there :( . His great talent will remain in the hearts of all of us. Rest in peace and keep playing for the Angels and those who have passed away...❤🕯🙏🎼🎹🙏🕯. ..I express my sincere condolences to his Family and loved ones .... Piotr Poland

So privileged to have met you finally through your music, your touch, your home grown and deeply nurtured passion for your instrument. What a gorgeous trajectory it seems, but we know the sacrifices and toil of such a talent. What a time you came up in and what relatives with extraordinary lives you had around you. What a truly great musical life you have had Sir, and have given out to the people of the world ,so generously with such heart and soul. Such a honour, and still such a mentor for us all. Thankyou so much. RIP X0

Gracias por la entrevista tan estupenda.

[@frederickfrederikfre]

Meravigliosa intervista. Il Maestro Pollini, grande Musicista e sublime Interprete. Grandi e notevoli le sue esecuzioni, in particolare ho sempre apprezzato, si da piccolo, il suo Concerto N.1 di F. Chopin. Una interpretazione, per i miei gusti, unica ed insuperabile.

[@shupingwang3392]

You recognize him from his unique sound : clear, with elements of glas, steel and wood. Stable tempi. Not more than what is in the text. We used to call that Roman clarity. He is immortal because there is no substitute for Pollini. Never will. He mentioned, among others, Walter Gieseking, which I find interesting .

[@ljyhljyh8178]

Chiselled marble is what I think of his sound and solidity of form. A universality that stems from the finest Italian sensibility.

[@shupingwang3392]

@@ljyhljyh8178 Agreed. I remember the distinct impression that he never showed all he could do in his recitals. There was a sense of modesty, but not false modesty, about him.

[@onlythesongsilike4856]

sono molto contento di poterlo finalmente vedere dal vivo a londra il mese prossimo

[@massimourban]

Great man! I personally love the way he sings while playing, it is a clear representation of how he researches the sound of his music, from his soul to the hands and the hears. Thank you for this precious documentary!🎶

A 3’ parla del fratello di suo nonno, che nel 1800 aveva 16 anni e che partecipò alla battaglia di Mentana che però avvenne nel 1967. Quindi il personaggio mori’ soldato a 83 anni??? 😂😂😂

[@MaScalo4508]

Non pensi che intendeva 1800 come periodo storico????

[@Theredundantrose]

@@MaScalo4508 Nel 1967, come scrive @cosimogigante5085 erroneamente, NON c'è stata nessuna battalia di Mentana - nel 1967 si era, in Italia, più o meno in pace. 😉 Mentana è una battaglia del 'Risorgimento italiano'... possibile sia una svista quella del del signor gigante, anche se l'errore suo è più evidente di quello che 'imputa' al Maestro Pollini 🤭
