	Music \| Glittering continuities (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the Maurizio Pollini Edition, a new Deutsche Grammophon 13-CD compilation of his recordings (mostly from the 1970s), there’s a live performance of Chopin’s First Piano Concerto from the 1960 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw, when Pollini was only 18.
		Pollini was the second of the only two major pianists to record the complete solo piano music of Schoenberg, including the Piano Concerto (Glenn Gould beat him by a decade).
		Pollini takes it as marked, but this time, in Beethoven’s turn from inward contemplation outward to the world, he shows us Beethoven opening his eyes, gradually but deeply taking in the vast expanses of the world’s loveliness.

	classical music - andante - maurizio pollini at the apex of his powers
		In the opening measures, Pollini introduced the composer's trills, the incisive four-note motto which pervades the first movement, the arpeggios and the heavy chords in a manner that stunned the listener and shook the keyboard from one end to the other.
		Pollini was equally successful in the slow movement, making it sound like a prayer that fails to rise to its intended purpose — thus setting the stage for the pandemonium of the finale.
		While Pollini never failed to articulate the music's darkly powerful argument, some might have thought that, with his scorching tempo (the running figures sweeping up and down the keyboard were like molten lava), he was ignoring that cautionary "ma non troppo.

	MUSIC: MAURIZIO POLLINI CONDUCTS - New York Times
		Maurizio Pollini, the Italian pianist, has toyed with conducting since about 1976, but last night at Symphony Hall constituted his American debut in his new and unaccustomed craft.
		Pollini makes clear that conducting will be an occasional sideline - one in which he fulfills the old 18th- century role of conductor-at-the keyboard.
		Pollini's pianistic colleague, Vladimir Ashkenazy, is a more serious - and more successful - conductor, yet both men bring qualities to the orchestra quite different from their instrumental styles.

		Weil Pollini weltberühmt ist, sind seine Konzerte ausverkauft, auch wenn er in seine Programme Werke der neuen Musik aufnimmt (und dafür immer wieder heftig ausgebuht wird).

	Maurizio Pollini - The late Beethoven sonatas
		When Italian pianist Maurizio Pollini made the two recordings of Beethoven's five last pianosonatas in 1976 and 1977, he did so in an immortalizing manner.
		Pollini pulls with him the beauty, the sorrow and the terror from the depths of his readings and presents them to us in the most sublime manner.
		Pollini as Beethoven himself, presents us with mere glimpses of absolute beauty, melancolia and rage; you can just barely make it out in the white of your eye.

	DCist: Maurizio Pollini at Strathmore
		Maurizio Pollini's recital at Strathmore last night was one of a limited number of appearances he is making in the United States this year, after Boston, Carnegie Hall, and Chicago.
		Pollini devoted the first half of his program to Chopin, particularly four of the nocturnes from his new CD, released last month.
		Pollini seems to react well to the pumping of adrenaline, the spontaneous challenge of something new, which is perhaps why he is sometimes more engaged and immediate during his lengthy encores than during the announced program.

		Pollini is so much a part of the contemporary music scene that it's amazing to realize that the earliest material on this disc (Stravinsky and Prokofiev) dates to the 1940s.
		Pollini's performance of these three movements from Stravinsky's Petrouchka and Prokofiev's Piano Sonata no.7 were recorded in 1971, and his performance of Webern's Piano Variations and Boulez's Piano Sonata were recorded in 1976.
		Pollini's Petrushka is thrilling beyond compare, and the Prokofiev sonato is a powerhouse performance, sure to quiet the chatter of any party with its stunning emotional weight and flawless timing.

		Robert Schumann was a Hoffmann admirer, and this madcap suite of eight pieces, which he wrote in 1838, captures Kreisler’s sarcastic/sentimental personality; the writing is grounded in Bach, but the tonality hovers between B-flat major and G minor, left- and right-hand parts seem to have different bar lines, and some pieces evaporate on half-cadences.
		This new recording from Maurizio Pollini is as contained as (and at 29:08 a shade faster than) the 1982 live Salzburg performance that turned up briefly (and almost certainly without authorization) from Exclusive in 1994.
		It’s Pollini as Florestan, the impulsive half of Schumann’s alter ego, but not the dreamy Eusebius.

	Concert Review: Extraordinary Pollini - The Tech
		Chopin virtuoso Maurizio Pollini, however, led me right past this difficulty during his April 30 performance at Symphony Hall; his performance of pieces I loved both satisfied and surprised me. His five encores suggest that the rest of the audience agreed.
		The scene got even darker when Pollini moved into La Lugubre Gondola I. Written for a funeral gondola Liszt saw outside of Wagner’s window, La lugubre gondola was Liszt’s lament at Wagner’s then-rapidly deteriorating health.
		Pollini teased out the animated and energetic chords, but was also able to portray the relaxing, beautiful parts of the piece.

		Maurizio Pollini's decades-long career has been so closely linked with the music of Chopin that it might seem an odd oversight that the pianist has neglected the Nocturnes until now.
		Instead, Pollini emphasizes the latent drama Chopin infused into his small forms, often revealing the Nocturnes' affinity with the Ballades.
		While an Olympian purity shines forth from Pollini’s playing throughout this set, he is also keen to the darkness of Chopin’s muse....

	Maurizio Pollini, Giving His All
		Maurizio Pollini used to be among the most tightly wound of great musicians -- a man who never gave interviews, avoided all public attention when he wasn't onstage, and always seemed ready to flee even as he stepped before the footlights to play the piano superlatively.
		Pollini played the sonata very quickly, in about 25 minutes, and he refused to dawdle over Liszt's more sentimental themes, keeping them, for once, in careful proportion to the whole, strengthening everything in the process.
		Pollini, based in Italy, now spends a good amount of time in New York; how extraordinary if we might bring him down to the Kennedy Center or Strathmore every year.

	Chopin: Polonaises / Maurizio Pollini : Music
		Pollini views the seven mature Polonaises of Chopin as militant works expressive of Polish fire and pride.
		Unlike, say, the mazurkas, which must be played a clear sense of their unlying dance rhythms, or even the composer's own earlier works in this genre, Chopin's 7 mature Polonaises are epic pianistic tone-poems expressing his Polish nationalism.
		Pollini far transcends those pianists who believe that Chopin's music is romantic - Chopin never exaggerated anything (as in the normal Romantic Era tradition).

		Pollini truly believes in the beauty and terror of this music; it is an immaculate and inspired performance, full and bursting with fiery energy and sudden, unpredictable humanity.
		There is little I can add to previous reviews here, except to note that DG have reissued this recording as part of the Maurizio Pollini Edition at the same price with the addition of the piano concerto and of Webern's piano variations, also in outstanding recordings.
		Pollini's playing is outstanding for almost the whole disc, and can be easily recommended--but you might as well get the extra couplings at no extra cost.
