Celebrating 100 Years of Debussy – Pollini's Musical Tribute to the Composer. Maurizio Pollini embarked on recording Debussy's first book of Préludes 20 years ago after years of study. Now, the esteemed Italian pianist turns his attention to the second book. Released internationally on February 16, 2018, this recording is a remarkable homage to the composer who passed away 100 years ago. Notably, it marks the first collaboration between Maurizio Pollini and his son Daniele Pollini. Together, they perform En blanc et noir for two pianos, a debut duo performance for Pollini who sought a partner for the first time.
