pollini speaks! (in his fashion)

Pollini 很少接受訪問。

他對 Chopin 有這樣的看法：
An original musician who achieved universality. A perfectionist on the surface with depths of emotion below. An altogether mysterious man.
他贏得 1960 年在華沙舉行的 Chopin International Piano Competition，此後 Chopin 的作品成為他的主要曲目，因此他的看法是有意思的。

Daniel J. Wakin 如此形容他的演奏：
And year after year Mr. Pollini's playing inhabits the same extraordinary level, with crystalline textures, purity of tone, brilliant technique and an uncanny ability to let the poetry emerge unmediated by self-indulgence.

近三十年 Richter, Bolet, Cherkassky, Ashkenazy, Kissin 都來過了，有些更永遠離開了......
昔日等不到 Arrau，今日 Pollini 可會例外？
