It’s easy to forget that Maurizio Pollini began his career on EMI, now under the Warner Classics umbrella. He made only a handful of recordings there, chief among them this recording of the 1st Piano Concerto that launched his career. This disc is wonderful. While this concerto – and the earlier second – often get sneered at for having lackluster orchestral parts, the piano so dominates that a great pianist can make us forget about those anyways.

Under the watchful eye of Paul Kletzki, the Philharmonia plays very well, with unusual attention to detail. That’s all you need to know about that. Pollini is absolutely the more important factor, and he is magnificent. Often seen as a cold and cerebral pianist, he does focus on clarity and directness of expression, in that there is no dilly-dally anywhere. The concerto has a firm framework, both in terms of the interpretation and the orchestral conception. Yet the pianist is less “icy” than he would later become, displaying admirable warmth in the slow movement, and a playfulness that is sometimes absent from his DG recordings. The solo selections are much the same, refreshingly straightforward without ever losing the singing quality that makes Chopin so special.
