Pollini is unwell
NewsThe Italian pianist who has not been seen since Salzburg last summer has cancelled a Paris recital next month. He hopes to be well by May.
Nous vous informons que, pour des raisons de santé, Maurizio Pollini est contraint de reporter son concert au jeudi 4 mai 2023 à 20h.
Best wishes, and I hope he is well soon!
He was seen in Florence in October and played Mozart’s last concerto very well indeed. He was bent over but looked reasonably well for a man his age. Maybe international travel still isn’t on the cards. Hopefully it will be soon.
I had a ticket for this and also for the Pires recital on January 31 (Beethoven Pathétique and opus 110, Mozart 331 and Kinderszenen) which has been postponed to March 4. I can’t go to both of them. Let’s hope that the next pianist of the week (Argerich) will not cancel her concert on February 2 with Pappano and Santa Cecília)…
I’m afraid she will not play in Paris since in the Santa Cecilia Rome concerts (January 19, 20, 21) Vikingur Ólafsson will play instead…

Thank you very much. Another disaster.
So the Royal Festival Hall recital in March is off?
First Jeffrey Bernard, now Pollini.
