Performer: Maurizio Pollini

Mystified by the headline? Then read on for a partial view of Maurizio Pollini's latest recital, celebrating his 80th birthday.

Pollini's love for Chopin and Debussy was evident throughout an intimate recital as part of the Southbank Centre's in the International Piano Series.

With plenty of sparkle and spritz, Pollini laces his performances of Schumann and Chopin with intimacy and introspection in a programme of contrasting emotions.
