“We are in disbelief and mourning as we learn the terribly sad news about Maurizio Pollini’s passing. One of the truly great and groundbreaking musicians of our time has left us. His achievements in the field of modernist and contemporary music as well as in the classical and romantic repertoire are towering. Maestro Pollini’s collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon has spanned half a century from his first studio album, while his debut release on the Yellow Label goes back even further to 1960, when he won the Chopin Competition. Those who were so fortunate to work with Maurizio Pollini cherish his uncompromising, relentless work in studio sessions which led to countless iconic albums, as well as the inspiration and sensitivity of a warm and vulnerable soul that was palpable in personal conversations. It is very touching that in recent years Maurizio Pollini went back to the last five Beethoven Sonatas that once laid the groundwork for an incredible recording oeuvre and revisited Schubert together with his son Daniele. We feel committed to carry on Maurizio Pollini’s legacy well into the future, as we deeply miss his musical voice and true humanity.” - Dr. Clemens Trautmann, President Deutsche Grammophon

Ci martorizza il cuore scriverne della scomparsa... già, perchè Maurizio Pollini, Titano dell'interpretazione musicale, Uomo, che per la Musica ha fatto tutto il possibile per nobilitarla, se n'è andato. Lo continueremo ad ascoltare per preservarne la Memoria. R.I.P.
