SCHOENBERG : The Piano Music = Das Klavierwerk = L'Œuvre Pianistique (Maurizio Pollini) (1975) RM | 20th Century Classics Series | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Without an understanding of Schoenberg's concentrated language and intensity of expression, performances of his piano music can suffer either from cerebral dryness or confused murkiness. On this CD, Maurizio Pollini strikes a fine balance between analytical and emotionally demonstrative approaches to produce a lucid yet passionate result. Pollini's interpretations change appopriately from piece to piece, revealing that these keyboard works are as varied as the stages of Schoenberg's career, from the Post-Romanticism of his early years to the liberating innovations of his maturity. The enigmatic, ambivalently chromatic Three Piano Pieces, Op. 11, and the more adventurous, atonal Six Little Piano Pieces, Op. 19, signify the development of a new language, perhaps similar in mood to late Scriabin, but free of old mannerisms. The Five Piano Pieces, Op. 23, benefiting from Pollini's clarity and concentration, sound spare and aphoristic. In the 12-tone Suite, Op. 25, Pollini brings out the wit and fluid elegance that run throughout the work, which approaches Neo-Classicism in both form and wry detachment. The Two Piano Pieces, Op. 33a and 33b, are free-standing and integral expressions, despite their brevity. Deutsche Grammophon's high-quality sound is clean, with only minimal tape hiss.

MAURIZIO POLLINI — Maurizio Pollini Edition (2002) 13CD | APE (image+.cue), lossless

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 DG 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.

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.
