Maurizio & Daniele Pollini:

Schubert

Maurizio Pollini passed on his deep love for the music of Schubert to his son and fellow pianist Daniele Pollini. A few years ago they began working together on a joint Schubert project and, in June 2022, recorded a carefully chosen programme at the Herkulessaal in Munich. Sadly, Maurizio Pollini died in March 2024, aged 82. This, his last recording, serves as a fine memorial to a groundbreaking musician who was an exclusive artist with Deutsche Grammophon for over five decades.
On the album, Pollini senior performs the Piano Sonata in G major, D 894, Daniele Pollini plays the Moments musicaux, D 780, and they join forces for the Fantasia in F minor for four hands, D 940. Maurizio Pollini · Daniele Pollini – Schubert comes out digitally and on CD on 25 October 2024, with an accompanying booklet featuring a note on the repertoire by Paolo Petazzi. The first movement of the Fantasia is available to stream/download now, and the third movement of the Sonata will be released on 4 October.
