ArkivMusic Beethoven Piano Concerto No 1 Etc / Pollini, Vienna As is usual with this pianist, his interpretation, even of this early work, ischaracterized Performer maurizio pollini (Piano) Conductor Eugen Jochum http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=57149
Extractions: Vareses , played by a fragment of the London Symphony Orchestra, was given in a performance that was both athletic and precise. Although Boulez conducting was tight but expansive the subtlest of hand gestures sufficed to elicit a perfect response from the players; the effect was to draw out the tension between the silence and the sound in an electrifying way. It is hard to imagine this radical work being given a more definitive performance, with conductor and orchestra completely in unison in realising this intimate but intense composition.

Extractions: Maurizio Pollini Recital 10/5/97 This afternoon I went to hear the famous Italian pianist Maurizio Pollini playing Chopin and Debussy at Symphony Hall in Boston. I hadn't heard him in recital here in Boston for at least ten years, though I heard him many times at the Festival Hall in London. I think he cancelled several concerts in Boston. The previous times I had heard him he had played Chopin, Brahms, Schumann and Stravinsky (Petroushka) but not Debussy, so this recital was really interesting. In my opinion he is one of the greatest pianists of all time. He played to an almost capacity audience in Boston. The first half of the recital consisted of Chopin's works including the Prelude No 25 in C sharp minor, Ballade No 1 in G minor, Ballade No 4 in F minor, Berceuse, and Scherzo No 3 in C sharp minor. I haven't heard the Op 25 prelude in recital very much, which is surprising as it it is so beautiful. It is rather sad and dreamy, reminiscent of some of his Nocturnes, and has some interesting modulations to other keys. He played it with a beautiful cantabile singing melody. The two Ballades were very dramatic performances. In the coda of both ballades he played them extremely fast but at no time was there any blurring of tone or loss of detail. He brings out every harmonic subtlety and every nuance.

Kun je bij een pianist van amper negentien lentes al gewagen van een volwassen artistieke persoonlijkheid? Je zou geneigd zijn neen te zeggen. Op die leeftijd heeft een musicus meestal nog ettelijke jaren voor de boeg om een eigen stijl te ontwikkelen. Yundi Li schijnt hierop een uitzondering te vormen. Hoewel pas aan het begin van zijn carrière, is hij in staat de boodschap van een partituur te ontcijferen en die aan het publiek door te geven. Zo persoonlijk en overtuigend is zijn manier van spelen. Het eerste hoogtepunt in zijn nog prille carrière was alvast de eerste prijs in het befaamde Chopin-concours in Warschau, in het jaar 2000. Deze eerste cd bevestigt zijn uitzonderlijk talent. Luister maar en u zult terecht uitkijken naar zijn volgende cd met werk van Liszt. Yundi Li - Chopin Deutsche Grammophon - 1 CD 471.479-2

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?

Extractions: Maurizio Pollini 5. Januar in Mailand ) ist ein italienischer Pianist und Dirigent Bearbeiten Bereits im Alter von neun Jahren gab Maurizio Pollini sein Debut als Pianist. Er wurde zun¤chst am Konservatorium in Mailand ausgebildet, sp¤ter auch vom ber¼hmten Pianisten Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli Beim Internationalen Pianistenwettbewerb in Genf im Jahre , in dem kein erster Preis vergeben wurde, errang Pollini den zweiten Preis. Im Jahre gewann er den Ettore-Pozzoli-Wettbewerb in Seregno , im Jahr darauf den Chopin-Wettbewerb in Warschau . Seither tritt er international in Konzerten auf. Zeitweilig bet¤tigte sich Pollini auch als Dirigent, namentlich beim Rossini-Festival in Pesaro erhielt er den Ernst von Siemens Musikpreis , im Jahre den Echo Klassik f¼r sein Lebenswerk. Bearbeiten Aufmerksamkeit erlangte Pollini zun¤chst durch schwungvolle Darbietungen insbesondere von Werken Chopins . Ende der 60er Jahre konzentrierte er sich mehr auf Klarheit und klangliche Feinabstimmung. Obwohl er von der Fachkritik h¤ufig als weltweit konkurrenzlos in technischer Hinsicht eingestuft wurde, galten seine Interpretationen in der Zeit teilweise als spannungs- und leblos. Sp¤tere Interpretationen zeigten wieder ein h¶heres Ma an Impulsivit¤t und Ausdruckskraft.
