Pollini, Maurizio & The Editors of The Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) : Maurizio Pollini: Chicago Symphony Center 2001/2002 Solo Recital

Performance Media, Chicago, IL, 2002

First Edition / First Printing. Fine in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 1 pages. Rare Maurizio Pollini collectible item. A fine copy of the Souvenir Program of Maurizio Pollini's Chicago Symphony Center 2001/2002 Season solo recital, signed by Maurizio Pollini. Pictorial softcovers, as issued. Without DJ, as issued. A scarce signature by the great Italian pianist, obtained on the occasion of the landmark performance of Franz Liszt's most important works. A great memento/souvenir of a magnificent marathon performance of some of the most challenging, most beautiful, and most important pieces in the piano repertoire. Pollini took a hiatus after this very difficult season as a result of a bad back and reported problems with his precious fingers, and did not return to active concertizing until 2006. He returned with a bang, and won the Grammy Award for his recording of the Chopin Nocturnes in 2007. An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, item for Maurizio Pollini collectors. This copy of the Souvenir Program is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the Program Schedule page by Maurizio Pollini. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of this historic program available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Pollini seldom does public signings, and when he does, limits what he is willing to sign to one piece per person, making signed materials scarce. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest pianists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO LEIF OVE ANDSNES, ARCADI VOLODOS, EVGENY KISSIN, LANG LANG, YUNDI, JON NAKAMATSU, JEAN-YVES THIBAUDET, AND LARS VOGT TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).

The CD represents the culmination of Pollini's decades-long Beethoven Complete Sonatas traversal.

A scarce signature by the great Italian pianist, obtained on the occasion of his landmark recital-performance (of Robert Schumann's and Frederic Chopin's greatest works), which inaugurated CSO's Piano Recital Series for the 2015/2016 season.
