A sad and significant loss for the classical music world, as the death of Maurizio Pollini is announced today. In 2017, @SaraMohrPietsch travelled to Milan to interview the great pianist. His family are in our thoughts. bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08…
@BBCRadio3 @SaraMohrPietsch His genius and mastery of the piano will be missed. It is one of my regrets that I never saw him in concert.
@BBCRadio3 @SaraMohrPietsch Sad. I grew up listening to his performances.
@BBCRadio3 @SaraMohrPietsch Grazie Maestro! 🎼❤️ R.I.P.🌹
@BBCRadio3 @SaraMohrPietsch I have enjoyed his performance of the music from Petrushka for many years. Quite masterly. RiP.
@BBCRadio3 @SaraMohrPietsch So sad. One of the greatest pianist. R.I.P
@BBCRadio3 @SaraMohrPietsch I remember his performance in Osaka 43 years ago. His glory was being able to play with perfect technique at a young age, which captivated an era. The Etudes of Chopin Op.10 are brilliant evidence of this. Please rest in peace, Maestro.
