What is the most astounding solo piano recording you have heard?
There is no doubt in my mind-
Maurizio Pollini’s recording of Stravinsky Three Movements from Petrushka on DG from the Seventies.
It is almost superhuman. Most players and critics agree.
Malcolm- Wow and I thought I was the only one who would have listed that. I would put that in the top five.
Oh man! I was immediately going to answer with Pollini playing Petrushka before I read the detail in your question. When I was in college, a friend of mine who is an exceptionally talented pianist was planning on playing some of Petrushka for his senior recital when he pointed me to that recording in our library. The word unbelievable gets tossed around too lightly in our culture, because that recording is what words like « unbelievable » were made for.
Alright, I’ll just have to think of some other recording then….
