HMV ASD 370
CHOPIN
PIANO CONCERTO NO. 1
MAURIZIO POLLINI
THE PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA
PAUL KLETZI
FIRST WHITE/GOLD STEREO LABEL (SEE PHOTOS)
COVER: MINT- ONLY THE SLIGHTEST OF FOXING (DISCOLORATION) ON THE REAR FLAPS.
From a 1961 review:
“There is no doubt at all whose is the best, the most compelling account of this concerto. Pollini’s mature yet fresh and confident reading is an astonishing achievement from so young an artist.
Pollini’s speeds are more extreme, yet the transitions from fast to slow have an inevitability that suggests improvisation. In Pollini’s hands, everything sounds interesting and new.
The HMV recoring is “more forward with better piano tone and a richer overall quality.”
Stereo Record Guide, vol. 2, p. 373.
VINYL:
DEADWAX: MATRIX MOTHER (BOTH SIDES) 1 MATRIX =g=1.
NOTE: THIS IS THE VERY, VERY FIRST PRESSING OF THIS LP. YOU CAN’T GET ONE PRESSED ANY EARLIER.
THE ORCHESTRAL SOUND IS DRAMATIC AND THE PIANO IS WELL-PLACED AND SONOROUS.
