Chopin

Piano Concerto No. 1

Played by Maurizio Pollini and conducted by Paul Kletzki

Piano Concerto No. 1 In E Minor, Op. 11
1st Movement: Allegro Maestoso Risoluto
2nd Movement: Romance (Larghetto)
3rd Movement: Rondo (Vivace)

Recorded in April 1960 and released on HMV the same year, Pollini's interpretation of Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 is one of his earliest recordings and remains arguably the greatest rendering recorded. Pollini's marriage of youthful impetuosity, technical perfection and an understanding of Chopin's world well beyond his then-youthful years combined with his delicate touch and nuanced phrasing capture the intricate emotions embedded in Chopin's music.
