Pollini triumphs with Chopin & Liszt program, finds strength for five encores

Mr. Pollini takes his piano (a Fabrini) on the road - someone else does the driving...

Maurizio Pollini was marvelous yesterday afternoon at Symphony Hall. After a challenging regular program that wrapped up with Liszt's B minor sonata, Mr. Pollini had enough energy (and enough encouragement from a very enthusiaistic audience) for five encores. Here they are, in performance order:

1. Debussy, La cathédrale engloutie (The Submerged Cathedral)
2. Chopin, Nocturne in E-flat Major: Andante, Opus 9, no. 2
3. Liszt, Transcendental Etude No. 10 in F minor
4. Chopin, Etude, Opus 10, no.12 in C minor, allegro con fuoco "Revolutionary" B42
5. Chopin, Berceuse in D-flat major, op.57
