This album, which he recorded with his son Daniele in June 2022, was Pollini's last recording. Included are three piano works by Schubert, each with a different aspect. The recording includes three piano works that show different sides of Schubert: Piano Sonata No. 18, \"Musik und Drehkopf,\" and \"Fantasy for Four Hands in F minor,\" the first recording of the two of them playing together. Schubert was a special favorite of both father and son, and this album was a project that they worked on wholeheartedly, rehearsing and performing together for the first time the melancholy \"Fantasy in F minor,\" composed in 1828, the year of Schubert's death. The album created by two generations of musicians is both a legacy and a look of hope for the future. The recording was made at the Herkulessaal in Munich.\n\n\n\nMy father's death has also changed my view of the conception of this album and the whole process of its creation.What I thought was a very special occasion actually turned out to be a unique event that can never be repeated. I am very happy to have had the opportunity to make this album dedicated to Schubert and to share in my father's last recording\" (Daniele Pollini).\n\n\n\nSchubert was without a doubt one of my father's most beloved composers. As a young boy, listening to my father's beautiful performances of Piano Sonatas No. 21 and No. 18, I understood the greatness of Schubert's music\" (Daniele Pollini).\n\n\n\nThe 16-page booklet includes an essay by Paolo Petazzi, a longtime friend of Maurizio Pollini.\n\nDigipak edition\n\nUniversal Music\/IMS\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dgg (Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50383358722337,"sku":"28948663989","price":37.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/028948663989.jpg?v=1736180086","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ca\/products\/28948663989","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
