Chopin Maurizio Pollini - Polonaises

Review by Nathan Randall

Polonaises by Chopin Maurizio Pollini is an album that showcases the virtuosity and artistry of one of the greatest pianists of our time. Pollini's interpretations of Chopin's polonaises are nothing short of magnificent, with a depth of emotion and technical precision that is truly awe-inspiring.

From the opening notes of the album, it is clear that Pollini has a deep understanding of Chopin's music. He brings out the nuances of each piece with a sensitivity that is rare among pianists. The polonaises themselves are some of Chopin's most complex and challenging works, but Pollini handles them with ease, playing each note with a clarity and precision that is unmatched.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the Polonaise in A-flat major, Op. 53, also known as the "Heroic" Polonaise. Pollini's interpretation of this piece is particularly striking, with his powerful playing capturing the grandeur and drama of the music.

About Chopin Maurizio Pollini

ladda ner album Chopin Maurizio Pollini - Polonaises

Born: 1810-03-01 (Duchy of Warsaw) at present Żelazowa Wola, Poland. Died: 1849-10-17 (Paris, France). Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin (1 March 1810 17 October 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era who wrote primarily for solo piano. He has maintained worldwide renown as a leading musician of his era, one whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation." Chopin was born in the Duchy of Warsaw in a small town called Żelazowa Wola (eng. Steel Will), within months of his birth the Chopin family moved to Warsaw the capital of the Duchy, where Fryderyk grew up and learned to play; in 1815 the Duchy became the Kingdom of Poland. A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed his earlier works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising. At the age of 21, he settled in Paris. Thereafterin the last 18 years of his lifehe gave only 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon. He supported himself by selling his compositions and by giving piano lessons, for which he was in high demand. Chopin formed a friendship with Franz Liszt and was admired by many of his other musical contemporaries (including Robert Schumann). In 1835, when Chopin obtained French citizenship he became . After a failed engagement to Maria Wodzińska from 1836 to 1837, he maintained an often troubled relationship with the French writer Amantine Dupin (known by her pen name, George Sand). A brief and unhappy visit to Majorca with Sand in 183839 would prove one of his most productive periods of composition. In his final years, he was supported financially by his admirer Jane Stirling, who also arranged for him to visit Scotland in 1848. For most of his life, Chopin was in poor health. He died in Paris in 1849 at the age of 39, probably of pericarditis aggravated by tuberculosis. All of Chopin's compositions include the piano. Most are for solo piano, though he also wrote two piano concertos, a few chamber pieces, and some 19 songs set to Polish lyrics. His piano writing was technically demanding and expanded the limits of the instrument: his own performances were noted for their nuance and sensitivity. Chopin invented the concept of the instrumental ballade. His major piano works also include mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises, études, impromptus, scherzos, preludes and sonatas, some published only posthumously. Among the influences on his style of composition were Polish folk music, the classical tradition of J.S. Bach, Mozart, and Schubert, and the atmosphere of the Paris salons of which he was a frequent guest. His innovations in style, harmony, and musical form, and his association of music with nationalism, were influential throughout and after the late Romantic period. Chopin's music, his status as one of music's earliest superstars, his (indirect) association with political insurrection, his high-profile love-life, and his early death have made him a leading symbol of the Romantic era. His works remain popular, and he has been the subject of numerous films and biographies of varying historical fidelity.

In some parts this polonaise gives me a sense of requiem. Don't missunderstand, I still love this polonaise.

evmusicworkstationteam 2023-04-11

Uno stile unico...essenziale...eppure al tempo stesso pieno di rabbia e di emozione....Pollini è inconfondibile...anche se la mia esecuzione preferita di sempre è quella stratosferica di Seong Jin-Cho al primo round del premio Chopin 2015
