Un genio come il maestro Pollini scompare perché la vita vuole così. Ma Egli è sempre nei cuori di chi lo ha conosciuto e ascoltato. Mai avrei pensato di dover scrivere parole così dolorose per la perdita del grande pianista. Che ci rimane di Lui? Tantissimo. La sua immensità, il suo genio pianistico, la sua discografia con la quale rivivere tutte le emozioni che ha saputo darci in vita. Buon viaggio maestro. Aspettami vorrò conoscerti lassù dove la nuova vita ci attende.
The 24 Preludes are a tremendous tour de force. Many pianists do it... and few of them get to the finish unscathed. It is not exactly the technical difficulty, it is the difficulty to play, with the high standard that it deserves, each slow, fast, rhythmical, melancholic, poetical piece. It is hard, even for great pianists, to not show certain, almost unavoidable, weaknesses in expression in this or that prelude. Maurizio Pollini passes with high scores his self-imposed challenge, as many times has done, with this Op28, in his long an prodigious life as pianist. Many, many thanks for putting this great concert here. This kind of content is invaluable for music lovers.
I have only discovered you,after your distinguished life.I was blessed with a father, & a brother,whi regularly played piano in the home my siblings & myself were brought up, which was the best part to record.I adore your performances now until my death. R.I.P.
Gibt es irgendwo und von anderen noch mehr Sensibilität, die völlig selbstverständlich zu hören ist? Und den „Aha Effekt“ mit der Dauer seines Spieles wachsen und wundern lässt? Danke
Agreed. He played like an atheist. Unlike his teacher Michelangeli, who had a superhuman command, yet a true elegance and humility where you still felt divinity . I saw him live in the 90s just to see what the fuss was about and nothing except an extraordinary facility and form with no soul.
