Maurizio Pollini: 20th Century
Pollini’s performance is simply stunning, with jaw-dropping virtuosity on display in every bar. (golden document)
the Boulez Sonata vividly reminds us why the European avant-garde was such a powerful force in the 1950s. These recordings are a monument to what it's possible for two hands to achieve on one musical instrument.
