Maurizio Pollini plays Chopin Piano Concerto no. 1 - live 1960

[@lejeunecolette7816]

Rubinstein said that Pollini first became known for his Chopin concerto 1. Obviously, we can hear more romantic interprétations , but here it the freshness and enthousiasm that dominates in this young man of 18 who is the age of Chopin when he composed this masterpeace. I, i like it a lot and that’s how the public received it!

Абсолютный гений! ❤ при всей известности удивительно скромный человек. Вечная ему память!

He brings everything to the fore, I heard things I hadn't heard in any other performance 🥶😱

[@נפתליגרינבלט]

Really mind boggling, even better than his famous cd record

[@leonardodelyrarodrigues3752]

18:00 He plays this Trill 10x times faster than any other human or alien in history That I have never seen in my life

Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying to Bashkirov the most important lesson is the love of beautiful colorful piano sound! More colorful beautiful piano sound than Pollini=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Pollini=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Stanislav Bunin Maria Grinberg Murray Perahia! More powerful louder than Pollini=Mikhail Pletnev! The Second Loudest ever was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi! Horowitz his technique attack better than Pollini's technique!!

He had planned to visit South Korea 2 times, but due to his health issues both concerts were cancelled. So I’ve never been to one of my favorite pianist’s concert. Quel dommage. Personally I love his Schumann very much. His Fantasy is my favorite, the only one.

3:26-3:39 Nobody plays this way anymore, violins sound like they sing with a human voice.

This isn't my favourite performance, but not every performance of this work needs to be ultra (or excessively) refined and sensitive like Sokolov or Kate Liu. A certain harder drive like here has its own appeal. In any case my favourite performance of PC 2 is Pollini's live recording (the one I uploaded with Mehta).

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

@@ADGO I mean, Gilels or Lipatti had a harder drive too. But they lacked Pollinis glass & steel prosaism and his blue-faced hypoxia. Luckily, may I say.... 😉

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

@@ADGO Wait, your favorite #2 amongst all #2 ever recorded is that Pollini & Mehta?! Or is it just your favorite Pollini performance of a Chopin concerto?

[@ADGO]

Yeah Pollini/Mehta 2 is my favourite rec of Chopin's PC 2. I love its drive and intensity - the poetry is in how exciting it is. I definitely don't need a soft performance of that work (whereas I love Sokolov's early studio recording of PC 1).

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

@@ADGO I'm gonna have to give it another listening. Somehow, I doubt it'll surpass Rubinstein, Pogorelich or Zimermans second studio recording...

[@МартаФилиппова-с2ф]

Что за марш?????? Это СОВСЕМ не свойственно Великому Фридерику Шопену 😢

[@ElenaSinan-g7n]

Вы не слушали наверное произведение полностью.. Поллини в том году взял первый приз на международном конкурсе в Варшаве. Он был самым молодым исполнителем..

[@jozefponiatowski-cr7ud]

Studying with Michelangeli ruined his unique style

[@MaScalo_MuSic]

I highly doubt that
