Thank you so much for this! Listening to Pollini live is almost scary. I had the impression from his records that he was an amazingly gifted pianist, but too much of a perfectionist for my taste. Hearing him play the d minor sonata I get the impression that he plays as though his life depended on it. Choises of tempo, dynamics etc. come from inside and have nothing to with showing off in my opinion. A truly wonderful musician and man!
You are absolutely right. Those like me who have been lucky enough to listen to him many times live know that the live one is the real Pollini, endowed with an overwhelming strength, impossible to describe but which you were able to describe perfectly: it seems that life itself depends on the quality of a execution. No other pianist, not even the greatest, had this specific quality.
Je vous remercie d'avoir mis en ligne ce 3ème récital de l'été 1987. Je m'en souviens comme si c'était hier. Merveilleux !! Grâce à vous j'ai revécu ces moments d'émotion intense. Quelle classe dans le jeu, c'est époustouflant. Et si je ne me trompe pas, l'année suivante, il proposait avec Abbado les 5 concertos !
Спасибо большое Вам,Йоханнес! Ваш канал,будто музыкальный памятник великому музыканту. Мне только жаль,что ваши записи не разбиты на отдельные части-окошечки,чтобы было возможно (удобно) переслушать задевшее душу произведение. Надеюсь,что Вы на меня не обиделись. Всего доброго,и ещё раз-Спасибо! 1.05.2024.
Le premier mouvement de la 16 est beaucoup trop rapide. C'est parfois le défaut de Pollini, cette démonstration de virtuosité qui n'a aucun sens chez Beethoven.

THANKS! You are a star for posting these gem recordings of Maestro Pollini in his pianistic prime - and in such fine sound, as well!

Tempo demasiado rápido. Por demostracion de habilidad se pierde mucho...
.
especially in the first movement of 31/1 - personally I like it played much slower...
