Chopin: Nocturnes»rank: 21162from: Deutsche Grammophon
0ur opinion: :Pollini's traversal of Chopin's 19 Nocturnes (he leaves out the pair of posthumous ones) is one of his finest recordings in years. His long-lined yet detailed performances are comparable to the very different ones that have long stood at the pinnacle of recorded sets. Not as serene as Artur Rubinstein's, not as philosophical as Claudio Arrau's, nor as warm as lvan Moravec's, Pollini's interpretations have their own allure. 0ne is the way he shapes the melodies with a natural ...

Beethoven: Die Späten Klaviersonaten»rank: 13053from: Deutsche Grammophon
0ur opinion: essential recording:Pollini's performances of Beethoven's last five piano sonatas have assumed almost legendary status, and this reissue at midprice in improved sound ought to win them many new friends. Sometimes considered a cold interpreter, Pollini here pays scrupulous attention to Beethoven's instructions, an attention that never gets in the way of sincere expression. There's a lot to be said for approaching this music with a maximum of clarity and simplicity, and a minimum of Romantic panting and heaving. ...

Chopin: Etudes/Preludes/Polonaises»rank: 24129from: Deutsche Grammophon
0ur opinion: essential recording:Chopin may have distrusted romanticism, yet no other romantic composer has worn as well. His music both stings and sings with harmonic adventurousness, together with an uncanny instinct for the geography of the keyboard. The 0p. 28 Préludes exemplify Chopin's genius for telegraphing big ideas into snug spaces, while his Études provide an index to his pianistic idiom. Pollini fares best in the Préludes, where his aristocratic pacing and cool control allow the music's mood swings to ...
