Chopin may have distrusted romanticism, yet no other romantic composer has worn as well. His music both stings and sings with harmonic adventurousness, together with an uncanny instinct for the geography of the keyboard. The Op. 28 PrÃ©ludes exemplify Chopin's genius for telegraphing big ideas into snug spaces, while his Ã‰tudes provide an index to his pianistic idiom. Pollini fares best in the PrÃ©ludes, where his aristocratic pacing and cool control allow the music's mood swings to speak for themselves. The Ã‰tudes glitter with icy accuracy, but the Polonaises lack Rubinstein's rhythmic snap and generosity of spirit. Still, Pollini's unruffled pianism remains the envy of every conservatory student and competition aspirant. DG's analog sonics are fully competitive. --Jed Distler
