CD ReviewsARE YOU KIDDING ME? offeck | New York, NY -- United States of America | 11/13/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY NEGATIVE REVIEW OF THIS DISC. Any naysayer, I'll wallop. SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. I've never heard so many notes, lively rhythms, beautiful harmonies in ANY of these sonatas -- and the Pathetique, MY GOD, it's transformed, transfigured, transcendental; I didn't think there was anything else to know or hear in this piece, and along comes Pollini with a slap in the face of what it's REALLY all about! His pianism has grown and matured and developed, losing absolutely none of the passion and fire and verve and inertia (actually I think he's gained considerably in aggression and the ability to sock-it-to-you, have you heard his remarkable Appassionate, you absolutely must). I am extremely grateful for this disc and pray to the heavens that Pollini (the very avatar of perfection) finishes this cycle!" NY Times Top Pick for 2004 Logan M. Cheek | 12/16/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Selected by the NY Times as one of the top 25 classical CDs of 2004. So much for the naysayers." Great CD Matt | Virginia | 06/02/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a great CD. I love listening to his rendition of the "Pathetique" Sonata (but then again, I've never heard a recording of that Sonata I didn't like...). His playing has so much drive and intensity, it's really quite amazing. His sense of rhythm and pulse are unmatched (except for Horowitz), while still keeping the integrity of the piece at hand. Highly recommended."
