"Critics are not paid to be lost for words. But then human beings are not supposed to be able to play the piano like Pollini." He got that right, spot on!

Martha Argerich claimed that very few people impressed her in her life, "Bruno Gelber when I was little, then Pollini and then Nelson Freire"

One of the most technically difficult piano tune in piano literature played with an incredible accuracy .In this kind of piano music Pollini is really one of the best if not the best .Perfect .Written for Arthur Rubinstein is incredibly demanding,the benchmark for virtuosos .The other incredible gift of Pollini was to remember contemporary music by heart that was so insane to remember .For instance Pierre Boulez . I played Petrucka and i remember how difficult and demanding technically was .Precision and speed ,hands jumping ,tempo changing .So difficult.Pollini shows a superb control.Technically sensational. Rest in peace maestro

Saw him play this in the RFH in 1992. Phenomenal and just as in this recording. Wholly inside the music. He played Debussy's Etudes in the same recital.

Scarily clean and the best inner voicings I've ever heard performed for this piece. Aside from randomly playing forte before the poco meno mosso section, incredible recording and performance! ❤

Starting around 8:00, the music builds up to expression of great joy- the old folk melody was written a very early aeon by a Saintess, Qeklevtha, in the Hebrides region.... it was named after Uinllean, great joy. The name Stravinsky means the same as Nantosuelta, a kind of free-flowing river... *Uinnlean Am Pakht*

M. Pollini gave the perfect performance with a playful, humorous work that overwhelms the overall atmosphere of this work, with ballet music based on the psychological depiction of the puppet Petrushka, who must go through pain and tragedy. Thanks, David!

Incredible the ease with which Pollini is tackling this 'out of the ordinary' composition. Incredible of Stravinsky to come up with a piece like that, Incredible of 'davidhertzberg' to keep up with turning the pages . . . I have a playlist for that >>>sophisticated and/or out of the ordinary

Wunderschöne und spannende Interpretation dieses technisch anspruchsvollen und perfekt komponierten Klavierwerks im veränderlichen Tempo mit entschiedenem doch präzisem Anschlag und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Die Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als eine Kassettenaufnahme von mehr als fünfzig Jahren vor. Wahrlich intelligenter und unvergleichlicher Pianist!
I saw him perform this live in 1979 in Milan and, believe you me, it was just as perfect as the studio recording. By the way, Pollini posses a photographic memory as stated by the Italian pianist and great pianists biographer, Piero Rattalino.

Smooth, easy technique -- quixotic moods. Makes exciting child's play of this fabulously difficult piece. Wish I could have been inside this great pianist's head as he learned this piece. How he approached it. Did he visually memorize it first, as some artists do?!

Not sure.. I have always wondered the same thing. I suspect that Pollini becomes one with the music... there is no other way to play a work like this.
