Pollini is always a musician before a pianist. Whilst his technique is titanic, it is never so in the persuit of pedantic accuracy and always second to musicianship, which is refreshing in today's world of mechanical perfection. These are brilliant performances of Beethoven's finest and most profound music for piano and I cannot recommend it enough.

Simply incredible 21 Jan 2006
Format:Audio CD
When Deutsche Gramohon used the word Legendary on the sleeve of this album, they could not have found a better word. Pollini's recordings of the "HammerKlavier" and the other late sonatas are unmatched by any other pianist. Much like the works of Chopin, a pianist needs virtuosity and muscianship to do these works justice, qualities rarely found in a single pianist. Pollini upholds both and truly justifies the lable, legendary. A brilliant collection that any lover of Beethoven simply can not ignore.

Beethoven alive! 5 Mar 2011
By capezio
Format:Audio CD
The piano sonata is a little drama in itself, each one evoking some theme or emotion.
In this case Beethoven is a romantic master expressing his deep feelings and agitated spirit on it's own scores.
The same way Pollini knows well how to extracts and show us this deep and diverse emotions wrote dryly on the pentagrams.
If you like this platform and Beethoven, this set is a delight, masterly played, getting all the strength of a young and blood Pollini's in a crystal clear recording. Highly recommended.
