180g Vinyl Double LP!
Mastered From Original Sources! First Release On Vinyl!
Pianist Maurizio Pollini performs Preludes by Claude Debussy.
"The Italian pianist's full-bodied sound gives [the Preludes] a strong plysical impact, miles away from the foggy sonorities that many pianists still use (and abuse) in Debussy. Here, lines are crisp and clear, contrasts are dramatic, and rhythms turbulent." - Classics Today on Pollini's Preludes - Book I (1999)
"Pollini's awareness of colour and texture is as acute as ever, and, never a pianist to smother musical outlines with amorphous washes of colour, everything is crisp and sharply focused." - The Guardian on Pollini's Preludes - Book II (2018)
