Pollini unravels Beethoven's spiritual milestones
A masterpiece in which Maurizio Pollini sharply portrays the important sonatas that connect Beethoven's middle to late periods.
The astonishing precision of his keystrokes and the clarity of his interpretation in "The Tempest" and "Waldstein" overwhelm the listener. Pollini pushes the structure of the music to its limits while masterfully controlling the intense emotions that underlie it. The way each note has its own purpose, building a vast spiritual cathedral, is truly one of the pinnacles of modern piano performance.
