An essential compendium.

"Of all piano concertos, Beethoven's Fourth perhaps best suits Pollini's qualities. His tone is exceptionally beautiful in quiet passages, rich and full at loud moments. [...] a performance of the highest quality, one of the very best on record." Records and Recording, March 1977 on Piano Concertos 3 & 4
