Digital Booklet

"Here is Pollini in all his early glory, in performances expertly transferred from 1976. Pollini’s magnificently unsettling Chopin can be as imperious and unarguable as any on record. That his performances are also deeply moving is a tribute to his unique status."
- Gramophone
Maurizio Pollini devoted much of his professional life to Chopin; over 35 years he has recorded Chopin's entire output and earned a reputation as one of the best, if not the best, interpreter of the composer. This album of selected Polonaises comprises recordings from 1975 and 1976, including Chopin's significant Polonaise-Fantaisie.
