Maurizio Pollini A Musical Profile 2014

[@facundoramirezpiano1965]

Maestro, hoy acaba de partir de este mundo. Pero su música estará presente para siempre en nuestra memoria. ¡Gracias!

[@julianmarcusong5176]

Rest in peace to such a legendary pianist.

[@filippomeoni9716]

Maestro, lei rimarrà sempre una delle mie più grandi ispirazioni. Che la tua anima possa ancora gioire nella musica e con la musica. La tua musica vivrà in eterno. Grazie

[@onlydl1394]

Grazie di tutto Maestro Pollini❤️ Possa riposare in pace in eterno con la sua musica amen 🙏❤️🕊️🌹

As with Busoni and Toscanini, we never turned to Pollini to be charmed, to be seduced , to be ravished. All three of those giants - spiritual descendants of the Italian Renaissance - sought and achieved clarity, reason, truth. Toscanini’s highest compliment was to say that a performance was “like reading the score.”Critics called that mechanical. For Toscanini it was reaching for the ideal. In their time everyone agreed that Busoni and Toscanini had immense personalities. In our more superficial time Pollini was called cold. There was nothing cold about the High Renaissance. And the Mannerist artists who followed - even the late Michelangelo of The Last Judgement - were not greater for their melodrama. Pollini at his best - and like all artists he was variable - did not perform. He revealed. I heard him live only once, in 1974. Along with Richter’s four years earlier, one of the greatest recitals of my life. Rest in peace.

Grazie per questo bellissimo documento su questo straordinario pianista, grande artisticamente, grande umanamente e dotato di una rara umiltà. Rimarrà sempre nei cuori di tutti coloro che amano la Grande Musica ❤

[@johnschlesinger2009]

A wonderful documentary about this great pianist and musician. His integrity shines through, and there is a delightful ease and lightness as well.

[@josephleokoerner2977]

For me personally, after decades of listening with devotion to Horowitz, Richter, Argerich, Perahia, and many others, I am so thankful for this, also my favorite pianists' filmmaker's account, of Maurizio Pollini, the ultimate master of the volcanic, big-picture performance.

A wonderful profile. In the 1980's I used to go hear him play every year at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. It was the musical highlight of the year. What a gift he gave, and continues to give, all of us.

[@NYCBG]

So, we were there ... together? Beautiful. Unforgettable nights.

[@retrogamerdave362]

What a guy. I have admired him for a long time. The more I learn, the more I respect him and his approach to music. RIP my friend

[@FranciaVideo]

Elegance, modesty, sophistication ... what a great, great man.

[@crepesuzette28]

Pollini est non seulement un IMMENSE pianiste, qui a apporté des heures et des heures d'émotion et de joie profonde, mais ce reportage confirme qu'il est en outre un homme très attachant, doté d'un charme fou, et d'une modestie presque inhumaine. Quel grand homme! Et quel scandale de voir que si peu d'Internautes ont regardé ce reportage..

[@PhedraBcn]

Documentario straordinario su uno tra i più grandi pianisti e musicisti di tutti i tempi!!!

[@Eaglejorge]

I like how in interviews he always calls our attention to modern master composers like Karlheinz Stockhausen, for example.

[@serassone346]

Uno dei più grandi pianisti in assoluto! La mia passione per il pianoforte è dovuta molto anche a lui

[@mckavitt13]

I absolutely love this man... a powerful & powerfully poignant pianist. ❤❤❤

[@PhedraBcn]

Bellissimo filmato, bello sentire da lui stesso il racconto della sua vita e vedere e ascoltare molti video della sua giovinezza.

[@mariesabineclemencon]

Magnifique reportage émouvant merci bel hommage 🙏🏻

[@metphmet]

Décidément Bruno Monsaingeon a le génie pour nous faire mieux connaître tous ces grands interprëtes que nous aimons. Ses documentaires nous font découvrir beaucoup choses , d’histoires , de details mais au fond on y retrouve les traits de personnalité qu’on decèle quand on les écoutent jouer.. Pour arriver à ça il faut une grande sensibilité et un amour de la musique et des musiciens. Merci Bruno Monsaingeon.

[@giuseppinaabbate2047]

AUGURI di cuore❗🇮🇹 Maestro Pollini !!! Grazie infinite

[@mikekarren5010]

Many years ago I discovered this phenomenal pianist when I was comparing several recordings of the Chopin Scherzi, and his was the best! Then I learned that he ventured into some of the most difficult piano pieces with ease, clarity, and such beauty. Truly he is in a league with the very most gifted and accomplished pianists; Horowitz, Arrau, Hamelin, etc.

[@chrismiles8822]

His Stravinsky PETRUSKA is the recording that made me listen to him. To say he is an intellect of the highest order is an understatement.

[@tubopezzato]

I started with his Scherzi too!

[@cicir423]

What a wonderful portrait of an amazing man! I so enjoyed seeing how his personality melts into his playing. Intellectual, thoughtful but convicted, elegant, no cheap thrills...His restraint has never bothered me, as I can still hear his very deep emotions in his interpretations. Just a unique person and musician, that to me is a giant!

[@kimsommerschield9600]

Everything he says, like everything he plays, expresses something very true. Such a unique gift...

[@Perkeno]

Un grand artiste. Et le plus merveilleux c'est qu'il joue encore aujourd'hui.

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

Oui enfin... Il joue, mais ce n'est pas comme antan. Loin de là...

[@kimweonill]

I can't say enough how this documentary helped me understand what the pianist's life is like and the extent to which the musical scope of the pianist can expand. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@Thierry.pianiste]

Di Pollini me ne parlò il mio maestro Ernesto Esposito al Conservatorio di Milano, anche lui allievo di Carlo Vidusso e purtroppo scomparso. In questi bei anni di immersione nello studio del pianoforte , scopri con incanto la meraviglia di perfezione degli studi di Chopin, delle sonate di Beethoven. Non avevo mai ascoltato queste interviste di Pollini una persona alla fine semplice e gentile. Ne riconosco la serieta intellettuale, l'onesta e nello stesso tempo umiltà che si apprendeva nella scuola pianistica milanese. Ambiente assai diverso di quello sperimentato nei miei primi anni all"Ecole Normale Alfred Cortot di Parigi dove regnava un po piu di legereté quasi letteraria e preziosità parigina. Un ricordo commovente a Maurizio Pollini che ha accompagnato questi anni di giovinezza con le sue magnifiche interpretazioni di Bach, Chopin, Beethoven. Grazie maestro per aver reso questo mondo un pò piu bello!

[@class87srule]

Had the pleasure of attending a performance by Maestro Pollini years ago at the RFH, London. Technique always in the service of the music and effortless interpretation. I still rate his Brahms 2 as the finest around and the yardstick for all others.

[@lucarizzardi6139]

Precious Documentary!

[@carlamagini]

Ascoltare questi brani della sua vita mi ha emozionata molto. ascoltarlo mentre spiega e mette in atto la spiegazione è veramente un gran privilegio.come ripeto ,il suo ascolto m'emoziona.

[@1trschaefer78]

Great documentary. He really knows himself well, which I believe makes him an even greater musician.

[@Highinsight7]

one of my favorite pianists... and... one of my favorite personalities... what a guy!

[@philipelwell4214]

Anyone who can produce such a magisterially commanding sound through the technique MUST be a genius. Once somebody told me that genius is the capacity for taking pains. Dead right. Say what you want about Pollini's interpretive coolness perhaps, it's so impressive. How far this guy has developed. Unbelievable.

[@johnblack8036]

Wow, this is great. "Obviously, I had some aptitude." Master of the obvious.

[@ntarrexs9478]

В 1978- м Поллини приезжал в Москву. Я слушал его сольный концерт в Большом зале конс ерватории. Среди прочего он играл 32 сонату Бетховена - очень свободно, феноменально технически и всячески подчеркивая, выявляя черточки будущего во второй части. Помню что после биса ("Порыв" Шумана) многие бросились в артистическую поблагодарить лично и взять автограф. Маурицио выглядел очень возбужденным, видно, что очень волновался, и не совсем довольным. Я тоже просочился в артистическую, пожал ему руку и сказал "Грацио ,Сеньоре". Но Многим музыкантам очень не понравилась, что он перед Беховеном играл Шенберга и вариации Веберна. Это сочли за эпатаж в стиле Гульда, тем более что в СССР никто никогда такого не делал. Но критики всё-же отдали должное уровню пианизма и великолепному таланту Поллини

general orchestral musicians have the score to look at, but how do Pollini and other pianist commit to memory their entire part? Its amazing. Watching opera too, those singers and that memory... it takes me months to remember my phone number.

[@lejeunecolette7816]
