Sinossi
Maestro Pollini and Deutsche Grammophon: A Legendary Recording Partnership
12 CDs 471350-2
Celebrating his 60th birthday (5 January 2002) and a 30-year artistic collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon, the maurizio pollini edition presents a wide-ranging series of our exclusive artist's classic recordings, personally selected and approved by the Maestro himself.
The Edition comprises 12 single CDs, plus a sensational bonus CD. Almost all the compilations are new, and cover all aspects of Pollini's recording career. There are three CDs of Classical and Romantic concertos, 5 CDs are devoted to the masters of Romantic solo music, and 4 CDs given over to modern repertoire, a central component of Pollini's artistic credo.
French photographer Philippe Gontier has contributed to the Edition with a new photo-shoot of the Maestro.
Rare and unpublished photographs, many from Pollini's family archive, illustrate each CD in the Edition. The bonus CD, which also includes a time-line biography, is a photo album of his life and art, featuring him alongside close friends and collaborators from the music world.
What is on the bonus CD? There are two concerto recordings released for the first time internationally. The first is Chopin's First Piano Concerto, taped live at the final concert of the 1960 International Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 1960, where Pollini was the sensational winner at the age of 18. The second is the Schumann Piano Concerto, recorded live at the Salzburg Festival in 1974 with the Vienna Philharmonic under Herbert von Karajan.
