Tchaikovsky: The Seasons
Maurizio & Daniele Pollini (piano)
[ Deutsche Grammophon / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 22 November 2024
The great Italian legend of the piano Maurizio Pollini sadly passed-away earlier this year, on 23rdMarch 2024. This album recorded together with his son Daniele, is dedicated to three different aspects of Schubert's piano oeuvre covering: the sonatas, the collections of short pieces, and music for four hands. The first time that both musicians performed a piano work for four hands: Schubert's great F minor Fantasy. The release is accompanied by a 16-page booklet with an essay by Maurizio Pollini's long-time companion Paolo Petazzi. "Schubert was certainly one of my father's most beloved composers. As a boy, listening to his beautiful performances of the Sonatas D 960 and D 894 made me understand the greatness of Schubert's music." - Daniele Pollini
"The disc concludes with the F minor Fantasy for 4 hands. The Pollinis deliver a valid performance that speaks to seamless musical and artistic unity; there is appreciable vocal contouring in the more lyrical sections and expansive, symphonic sound qualities in the emotionally charged moments."
