Praised for his “searching musicianship and exquisite pianism” (The New York Times), Maurizio Pollini’s mastery of Beethoven’s music has been a cornerstone of his remarkable career. In his final sonatas, Beethoven bade farewell to the sonata form with music that is emotionally riveting, technically breathtaking, and ever daring. Journey with the “dean of living pianists” (The Boston Globe) to a world where beauty, power, and intellect are fused in a kind of cosmic harmony.
