Title: A Magnificent Recording
Product review: The piano is a difficult instrument to record and up to now my favorite recording for pure sound was the 1983 Horowitz "At The Met" - (also considered by recording engineers to be the best)- but now comes this Pollini recording on DG and in my opinion, it is the finest recording of a piano I have heard other than the afore-mentioned 1983 recording. I will bet that Mr. Pollini is playing a Hamburg Steinway - the richness and brilliance of this piano is just spectacular. Mr. Pollini's playing and interpretation is probably the best I have heard (along with the Zimerman recordings), such warmth and depth of feeling. Really, if there are pianists in your circle of life, buy all of them a copy of this recording - they will thank you.
