Oh, Maurizio Pollini is excellent! Just spent the afternoon listening to Pollini go on Prokofiev Sonata 7 and Stravinsky's wickedly difficult Petruschka. On repeat. Bloody amazing. Listen to his razor-sharp articulation -- he shows virtuosity of the highest degree, a sense of musical purpose and commitment that is in complete control of the virtuosity.

"His recording of Petrushka, already legendary, goes so far into the realms of the uncanny as to beggar description; one fears almost for the safety of his soul."
