    I enjoyed it! Apart from the Siloti, the arrangements were new to me (Kabalevsky - who knew?!?), and I suppose some inevitably convince more than others. But the playing is great - real clarity! The C Minor Passacaglia, for instance, is really wonderful playing imho.

    Very much so...desert island stuff in practically everything he plays, for my tastes at least!

    I think Pollini is a genius (even with all the provisos for this being an overused word) in Beethoven concerti (and the sonatas and Diabellis, FWIW). I also find this recording, of him playing some when very young, fascinating: And this document is also very special:
