Maurizio Pollini ~ Schubert Sonata D.959 | Beethoven Sonata op. 109, op. 111 ~ 1973 live

Desde siempre Pollini ,es de lo mejor del mundo. ❤

Ah... Pollini il the 70’! The greatest control and the greatest abandon at the same time... n.1!

[@paolobaroni8986]

Pollini in the seventies-early eighties, at least for what we can hear, was a singularity in the pianism history. Nothing closely comparing. Not saying that was the best pianism of all times, but...

The greatest 😢!

I absolutely love MP's Schubert. To me he is the best Schubert keyboard interpretor. Best, not one of the best.

Che meraviglia. Ma sono pubblicati in disco tutti questi concerti da qualche parte?

[@christian-johansson]

So when did you become a Pollini fan? =)

[@Amanuensis]

His live Chopin PC 2 (from Dubrovnik) has always been my favourite recording. Also Pollini's studio op. 111 was what I imprinted on - I used to walk around Soho with it rattling round my head. It still sounds great. We are waiting for you, Mr. CJ, to upload some rare Pollini.

@@Amanuensis Indeed. My memory was that you couldn't stand his playing!

[@Amanuensis]

I'm not sure I feel that way about anyone. Perhaps K.Buniatishvili at times (and obviously LL), and I can't say I'm fond of any of what I'd call (rightly or wrongly) the straighter players, i.e. Brendel and Perahia, and I don't understand the admiration for Firkusny, but that's just a matter of not being interested in them. My issue comes when someone dumbs down the music through performance or spectacle.

[@christian-johansson]

@@Amanuensis As so often is the case we feel the same. I confess to having been converted with both Brendel, Perahia, Firkusny and Schiff over the past decade however. Not that I like everything they do, or even most of what they do, but I have heard playing from all four I think could only have come from a great musician. I have to say the one who fares the worst with me right now is Schiff. Just three or four years ago a friend in the US taped an excellent concert with him, but practically everything I've heard from him since has made my stomach turn. I've always had difficulties with playing which is ingratiating or which tries too hard to be pretty, and that's where he too often makes himself guilty.

[@Amanuensis]

Whenever you mention Schiff I think of that wonderfully colourful op.111/2 which you sent me long ago. I hope you're well.
