Thank you for this. I started to learn to play the piano 6 months ago. Pollini is one of my favourite pianists to listen to, and Prolofiev’s piano concerto number 3, has become my favourite concerto, so this is a lovely treat!!
Wow, marvellous video and audio quality ! First time I hear Maestro Pollini playing this work and it's wonderful, as always. Many many thanks for sharing this rare film.
¡Qué manera de celebrar 25 años de edad! Pollini, apenas un muchacho. El maestro director Albert, hombre honesto en su trabajo. Sin protagonismos. ¡Mágico momento!
There's a tape of Pollini doing this with the BSO / Ozawa from November 1970 in far better stereo sound. Tempi seem nearly identical so I question the theory below. In the Boston performance he adds a touch of rubato to the 5-note groupings heard here at 23:09 and 23:17, and subsequently, speeding them up giving them an unexpected twist. The "tempo surge" at 21:15 is also very effective which I don't believe I've heard in any other recording, though I do believe it's in the score.
Marta Argerich the raw energy rough cool piano sound for Prokoviev piano concerto no 3 Argerich not a Good Prokoviev piano concerto no 3! Maurizio Pollini ( The Genius no 2 The Genius number one is Alexei Lubimov Mozart piano concerto no 27 playing) The Best Prokoviev piano concerto 3 players Are really 1: Natalia Trull ( THE QUEEN TIGER POWER NATALIA TRULL!!) 3: Emil Gilels ( The KING of All pianists ever! Gilels The Best piano sound Ever for Prokoviev piano concerto no 3) 3: Van Cliburn his Prokoviev piano concerto no 3 is Van Cliburn's Best Concerto playing ever! Van Cliburn Even not needed The conductor! AMAZING Van Cliburn with out The conductor! 4: Terence Judd in Moscow in The Tchaikovsky piano competition in 1978!! 5: Lubov Timofeeva 6! 7: Nikolai Petrov!!!
Уровень записи даже тех лет позволяет судить о необыкновенной чёткости и выразительности всех нюансов исполнения. Поллини - один из гениев ХХ века и продолжает оставаться таким в ХХІ.
If nothing else, this may be the most subtle and adroit example of dealing with a conductor who does not agree with your tempi that I have ever seen. Pollini gently nudges the orchestra forward, patiently, rather than continuing blindly to play in his faster tempi and making it obvious for all to hear, which is what usually happens.
Please I don't hear it so. I think they are normally together, sometimes is orchestra, sometimes Pollini faster. But this is like a micro. Tell me where is such a place, where is Pollini faster and orchestra behind. I want to understand it. By the way, what is more important, soloist or orchestra (conductor opinion)? Should rather soloist do what conductor wants or should rather conductor follow the soloist? I say to me these same questions many times. Thanks
this is really funny, starting from 2:38 Pollini keeps looking at the orchestra like "speed it up mofos, i'm trying to play some nice shit here". Too bad, for certain pieces like OP.26, the pianist has more say than the conductor - said Simon Rattle in the documentary with Lang Lang, clearly Herbert Albert doesn't agree. What a disaster.
Magisterial and --accurate to Prokofiev -- and poor Martha suffering Argerich --- Pollini -- someone who shows up or -- Margerich -- who doesn't show up because she''s a mess -- honey - it's a -- job.
Was '67 really and truly (?!) before any women were allowed in Orchestras? Never-mind before it being acceptable to spread their legs wide for that monster cello? Where's DuPre? Anyway.... What a piece ... I mean, of f******* history here! [Pollini's great]
I've seen video recordings of orchestras from before 1967, and there are a few (albeit VERY few) recordings where I saw a few women in the orchestra. In the 1940 recording of Dmitri Shostakovich playing his own Piano Concerto No. 1, there are at least a couple women in the orchestra. Sadly, it took until the 1970s and 80s for most orchestras to finally accept women. I think the Vienna Philharmonic (considered one of the finest orchestras in the world) didn't have their first woman until the 1980s.
La tecnica del suo avambraccio è stupenda
Meraviglioso. Grazie Maurizio, riposa in pace 💔
RIP
💔
Un venticinquenne strepitoso e strabiliante! Uno dei più grandi di tutti i tempi

How is your piano journey going on?
Estupendo! RIP
Wow, this was recorded on Maurizio Pollini's 25th birthday!
Incredible, just incredible. It is so clear, so clear, and driven. Thank you for posting this.
RIP

Thank you for making available this incredible footage!

Pkokofiev à son apogée. Du grand art ! Bravissimo.
Why didn't he record almost anything in his 20s? What a pity! He never played like this again.
majestic
Mil gracias por subir esta espléndida interpretación del joven Pollini. El sonido es impecable.
Thank you, Carl. Made me cry, Pollini is that great.
彼にとって難しい曲では無いんだろうな。速くて正確なのにまだ余裕がある。
Wonderful video, thanks for uploading
1:53 - Andante - Allegro
10:56 - Tema con variazioni
19:43 - Allegro, ma non troppo
Thank you.
Each note is incredibly clear, but somehow I get more overwhelmed by the performance of Argerich.

As always, chills at 14:35.

Interesting point.
Also at YT is another must - see RAI 5 video , Dino Ciani playing the Prokofieff 5th Concerto with Abbado.
gages del oficio uno nunca sabe quien te va a dirigir
Do you mean Martha Argerich out of control speed
Please I don't hear it so. I think they are normally together, sometimes is orchestra, sometimes Pollini faster. But this is like a micro.

Maybe that at begining was a accident and orchestra wasn't able to play exactly with him. How you know that it was a conductor's plan?
this is really funny, starting from 2:38 Pollini keeps looking at the orchestra like "speed it up mofos, i'm trying to play some nice shit here".

17:17 Para nada exhibicionista.....lo justo y necesario en el tempo!
It was his 25th birthday
Wow!
What brand of piano is this? I have never seen one so long.
Awesome

Il pianoforte di Pollini possiede una limpidezza incredibile. Peccato che il direttore d'orchestra vada per conto proprio.
