Maurizio Pollini, Piano
Deutsche Grammophon 427 326-2 (1987)
SAMPLE 1st Movement, "Molto Moderato"
(MP3 Stream Requires WinAmp Or Other Compatible MP3 Player)
The first time I heard the transcendent D 960 Sonata, time stood still, till the strands of melody & heartfelt expression came full circle and culminated with a sense of inevitability and perfection that is uniquely Schubert. Mr. Pollini's performance illuminates the splendid details as well as the broader, unifying architecture of this encompassing masterpiece with an aristocratic, yet always accessible, elegance and grace.
