"Expressiveness, spontaneity, and intellect belong together inseparably," writes legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini. Renowned for his virtuosity and unqualified attention to the composer's intentions, Pollini is extolled as"one of the most satisfying, illuminating, and all-around impressive pianists of any generation" (Los Angeles Times).
