Maurizio Pollini Plays Chopin's Nocturnes Ever since he won the Sixth International Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 1960, the Italian pianist Maurizio Pollini has been seen as one of the finest interpreters of Chopin's music. Since then he has recorded not only the two Concertos for Deutsche Grammophon but also the Etudes, Preludes, Scherzos and, finally, the four Ballades, the Fantasy Op. 49 and the C-Sharp minor Prelude Op. 45, all of which appeared in 1999 as what until now was Pollini's last recording of Chopin's music. He has now turned his attention to the Nocturnes. Maurizio Pollini delivers milestone recording of 19 Chopin nocturnes.
