About one month after winning the 6th Chopin Competition in Warsaw in March 1960, the 18 year old Pollini was recording this for EMI.

The jury at the competition consisted of Rubinstein, Kabalevsky, Malcuzynski and Nadia Boulanger.

I once had the Concert Classics release of this [from new], but the music did not catch me. It might now, but more likely from Noveaes and Klemperer [of course Polish born] by now. No fireworks, just music making of the first quality, though the recording is second rate ...

ATB from George

Stu is right, this is a great compilation. The only problem when waiting to buy some "items" at knocked down prices is that people have usually moved on. If not, one would still be listening to Bing Crosby. Actually, people still do!
