Maurizio Pollini: Complete Recordings on Deutsche Grammophon Boxset

Maurizio Pollini's complete DG legacy spanning his exclusive relationship with the Yellow Label. Featuring Boulez, Nono, Prokofiev, Schoenberg, Stravinsky and Webern – readings as up-to-date and relevant as they were at the time of their release. Pollini’s Chopin Études, Préludes, Sonatas, Scherzi, Nocturnes, and more are still stunning in their fresh, clear approach. Includes his complete cycle of Beethoven sonatas, as well as two bonus DVDs, which include great concerto recordings conducted by Böhm and Abbado. Plus, two bonus CDs of Prokofiev’s Third Piano Concerto with the NHK Symphony Orchestra under Maxim Shostakovich (recorded in Tokyo in 1974), and the first CD release of the recordings from the Warsaw Chopin Competition 1960, which DG only released on LP in 1960s. Additional features include a blu-ray video disc presenting the late Beethoven Sonatas, recorded in 2019 in Herkulessaal, Munich, as well as a conversation with the composer and clarinettist Jörg Widmann. The package contains a 204-page soft cover book, revised liner notes by longtime Pollini companion Paolo Petazzi, an extensive additional text by Pollini’s foremost producer for DG, Christopher Alder, and numerous rare black and white and color photographs.
