Just got the news in an email from the Philadelphia Orchestra. Bummer. Not the first time time he has canceled for a show that I had tix for but I'm a little concerned due to the lack of info. I hope he's alright and just needs some rest.

Maybe some less than favorable reviews of his recent London concerts had something to do with his cancellation??

Pollini used to be one of my favourite pianists back in the 1970s, but I'm sorry to say that I don't like his recordings of the last two decades or so. They sound like routine jobs, lacking depth. Your mileage may vary.
