Maurizio Pollini - Pollini / Schubert (2013)

Pollini Schubert before, this is a way of erasing before the text, where Richter planned (and with what accuracy!) Its own internal stretching open bite (but living) tempi. Pollini's approach does not grotesque and the beautiful fragility of Serkin but it brings something else: a purity that seems natural and cantabile modest. One can only hope that Pollini recorded at least D664, 784, 850 and 894! Not to mention Impromptus where he would certainly tell us… Unfortunately, it is not income Schubert disc from a quarter century…
