Extractions: I already tried so see Maurizio Pollini live three times in my life. All three times the concert was cancelled due to the artists's health problems. The same happened in January. On February 16, my chance came to see him. But then, the locomotive of the train bringing me to Zurich broke down. A delay became unavoidable. I had to change to another train. Arriving in Zurch, it had begun to snow. After a record sprint to the Tonhalle, Pollini had already started playing. He is a very sensitive pianist so I had to wait behind closed doors and listen from there to his rendition of the First Book of Debussy's Twelve Etudes for Piano . He just had started with part IV In sixths . After the First Book , the public applauded him generously and gave me the chance to slip unnoticed into the concert hall.

Extractions: Maurizio Pollini was born in 1942 in Milan, the son of a famous architect. He studied the piano with Carlo Lonati and composition and conducting at the Milan Conservatory. By 1957, when he performed the Chopin Etudes in Milan, the press had already begun to take notice of him. His prizewinning performance at the 1960 Warsaw Chopin Competition was followed by a further period of study.

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 http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/5901/cdaugust98.html
Extractions: Much of the same clarity can be found in the highly acclaimed recordings from American pianist Richard Goode (Elektra-Nonesuch). Goode's interpretations are dazzling in their "classisist" manner, but they still come short of Pollini's probings into the deeper layers of the music. He continiues where other pianists surrender either from the lack of understanding or the capability to face the profundity of these works. 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. There are no attempts to force the emotional storms and pathos on the listener. 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. Such is the greatness of this music and these particular recordings.
Maurizio Pollini a famous Italian architect, maurizio pollini is the intellectual's dream pianist an intrepid, intensely analytical http://mn-15.hypermart.net/artists/p/maurizio_pollini.htm
Extractions: Son of a famous Italian architect, Maurizio Pollini is the intellectual's dream pianist: an intrepid, intensely analytical explorer who makes the piano his laboratory. His fantastic technical control and polish, boundless curiosity, and stylistic versatility have secured his position as one of the most challenging, deeply admired pianists of the late 20th century. Here are his essential recordings. Great Pianists of the 20th Century - Maurizio Pollini I by Frédéric Chopin(Composer), et al When Maurizio Pollini took first prize in the 1960 Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw at age 18, the redoubtable Artur Rubinstein observed that "technically, he already plays better than any of us in the jury." Yet supplied with that foundation of a technique as solid as granite, Pollini is at the furthest remove from the superficial virtuoso showman. The intellectual's dream pianist, he is best known as the exemplar of an objective analytical acumensimilar in approach to Pierre Boulezthat...

Extractions: Debussys Etuden waren erst von Pierre Boulez richtig wiederentdeckt und gewürdigt worden. Pollinis Programm mit der Verbindung von Debussy und Boulez macht deshalb Sinn. Die Sonate Nr. 2 des zeitgenössischen französischen Komponisten und Dirigenten, der unter anderem an der Spitze des Cleveland Orchesters und und der New Yorker Philharmoniker stand sowie das französische, der Avantgarde gewidmete IRCAM leitete, stammt aus dem Jahr 1948. Der damals erst 23jährige Boulez vollzog damit nach eigenen Worten "den totalen und bewussten Bruch mit der Gesamtheit der klassischen Dodephonik", es sei "der entscheidende Schritt zu einer integralen seriellen Welt" gewesen. Tonhöhe und -dauer behandelte er seriell, währenddem Klangfarbe und Tonstärke noch immer eine gewisse Freiheit genossen.

Extractions: Deutsche Grammophon 445187 What we hear on two recent discs is another matter. One contains Chopin's Ballades and two other pieces (DG 459683) and the other Debussy's Book I and L'Isle joyeuse (DG 445187). In both, there is still not a great deal of warmth or variety of tone and color, but they are as technically adroit as ever, and Pollini's interpretations are considerably deeper, more personal, and more persuasive than in earlier years. His power and precision in the Ballades are controlled and at the service of the music, with clear lines and textures. The Op. 45 is exquisitely played, and Fantaisie Op. 49 is skillfully held together and eloquently expressed. The Debussy pieces are attacked a little too aggressively, but they are impeccable, elegant and refined, subtly phrased and well-balanced. They are also imaginative, for example in the way he uses the sustaining pedal to hold the final harmonics of "Les Collines d'Anacapri" well past the closing notes. There isn't much music on these discs (48 minutes on one, 43 on the other), but what there is is very much worth hearing, and we can look forward with pleasurable anticipation to many more years of this exceptional artist's work.

Extractions: (Autor: Christiane Winkler) Der große polnische Pianist erkannte in dem damals erst achtzehnjährigen Pollini bereits einen Musiker, der in der Klavierwelt neue Wege beschreiten würde: "Technisch gesehen spielt Pollini schon jetzt besser als wir alle in der Jury", sagte Rubinstein und meinte damit, dass die Zeit wohl den Rest erledigt hätte. Schon als junger Mann, also bereits vor dem Wettbewerb in Warschau, habe ich angefangen, mich mit der Musik des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts zu befassen, vor allem mit Schönberg, Berg und Webern. Ende der Sechzigerjahre habe ich einige der wichtigsten Werke des 20. Jahrhunderts in mein Repertoire aufgenommen, vor allem Schönberg natürlich, aber auch die zweite Sonate von Boulez und in den Siebzigerjahren die Werke von Stockhausen. Aufgrund meiner Begeisterung für Luigi Nonos Uraufführung in Venedig, die ich miterleben konnte, komponierte er schließlich zwei Stücke, "Como una ola di fuerza y luz" und " ... sofferte onde serene ...", die er mir widmete. In zwanzigsten Jahrhundert hat sich eine immer strengeres Interpretationsbild durchgesetzt. Man denke an Toscanini und sein "Noten lesen", im Gegensatz zu Furtwänglers "zwischen den Noten lesen", oder auch an jene so genannten Vorschriften im instrumentalen Bereich, die in gewisser Weise die Freiheit des Interpreten beschränken. Besteht da nicht die Gefahr, dass sich dieses ästhetische Empfinden weiter radikalisiert?
