As an added bonus there is the 1960 performance of Chopin’s First Piano Concerto from the Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw. The accompanying book, 120 pages in full colour, includes a specially-commissioned introduction by US critic Jed Distler, many photos from all stages of Pollini’s career (plus a selection of childhood photos), and a complete full-colour discography (also including alternative covers). | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
