I thoroughly agree that Pollini combines superb technical skill
with the most sensitive interpretation.  I have not heard all of
his recordings, and have not had the opportunity to hear him in
person, but his recordings of the Chopin Etudes Op 10 and 25 are
stupendous.  There are no apparent technical difficulties for him
in these very technical studies, yet what you hear is the sublime
music that Chopin wrote, and the technical virtuosity is only the
vehicle for some glorious music-making.
