1:10:26 is unbelievable. No one played this Variation like Pollini. It's so mysterious and pure at once!

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

Ever heard of Pogorelich ?

[@hestontan555]

I do. Pogo is not famed for German repertoire, though.

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

@@hestontan555 He sure is famed for Schumann's Symphonic Variations (and Toccata).
His Mozart album is outstanding. And his Brahms album. And his Bach album. And his op. 111 studio recording.
His later renditions of opp. 31/2, 54, 78, 90 are stimulating at the least. His Paganini Variations (Brahms) are... interesting. His Schumann Concerto and Fantasy are, ahm, unique, not only in the good sense.
So German music is very much at the core of his repertoire, on par with Chopin and the late Russian romantics.

Greatest Of All Time, Maestro Maurizio Pollini! Thank you for always sharing precious historic materials!

[@robinmiller9865]

ONE of the greatest certainly.

JohannesVanB, this outstanding listening, but PLEASE go back to your upload so as to insert timing indic- ations so that a desire to listen to selections that begin at later times can be accessed with much more ease. Thanks!

What a robust, masculine interpretation of the Op. 31 sonata! I agree - he is at his height here.

[@НатальяМатусова-ъ9х]

Божественное исполнение. Я готова слушать его снова и снова. Необыкновенный музыкант. Он увлекает своим исполнением. Всё так просто, естественно, забываешь о технических сложностях. Он просто разговаривает с нами.

[@heinz-adolfhetschold7720]

In der Regel ist Ruhe in Pausen…. ich habe noch nie soviel gehört und erlebt wie in seinen stimmlosen Spannungsbögen…Hoffnung gebend, fragend, und dann geht es zum Neuen weiter..
Zeit und Raum..so eng, wie physikalisch vereint..

[@ВладимирАнатольевичЧернов]

Открыл для себя ранее неизвестного прекрасного музыканта. Спасибо. Интересно.

[@Natalya_p01]

Спасибо за предоставленное наслождение услышать игру МАЭСТРО❤❤❤

[@astrasfo]

His performance of the arabesque is luminous and heartfelt, yet without sentimentality.

Maurizio Pollini au sommet absolu de son art en plus dans son répertoire de prédilection en dehors de Chopin et quelques autres

[@renaudpontier]

Remarquable interprétation. On sent une compréhension profonde de l'œuvre servie par une technique impeccable. Peut être le final est pris sur un tempo un peu trop rapide.

[@guileguileguile8177]

quel final ?

[@renaudpontier]

@@guileguileguile8177 Je parle du troisième mouvement.

[@astrasfo]

@@renaudpontier De quel sonate?

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

Il parle de la conclusion, c'est pourtant clair 🤪

[@goflowjoe]

Why won't he stop looking at me?

[@davidgoulden5956]

You are so witty. Clown.

[@charlottewhyte9804]

tempest too fast.

[@simonperry9718]

Then just how "slow" should a "tempest" be then? Seriously?
