Italian pianist Maurizio Pollini dies at 82. A virtuoso of Chopin and Beethoven, the artist had canceled concerts in recent years due to fragile health.
Between 1958 and his last recital in February 2023, Pollini performed 168 times at La Scala, not counting his participation in a large number of workshops with students or in conferences. “Pollini was an interpreter capable of revolutionizing the perception of composers like Chopin, Debussy and BeETHoven himself,” underlines La Scala.
