Well, these two audio documents are full of questions that I turn to you, if you have any opinions or if you know anything about it.
It is quite well known that Pollini was a rather shy man and apart from Abbado, Böhm (his favorite conductors: I know he also appreciated Jochum very much), followed by Boulez, Muti and a few others, he never established large and continuous collaborations... Perhaps some of you have news about the meeting with Karajan. Very interesting document, anyway: it is a nervous and sensitive reading by Pollini (particularly in the Finale) that I have not always found in his other live/studio recordings of the Concerto.
There are also doubts about the authenticity of this Beethoven 4 by Michelangeli... Perhaps someone better informed can clarify.

I heard the piano soloist on the 4th Concerto was actually Maria Tipo.
Yes the pianist was identified some years ago as Maria Tipo. Orchestra, conductor and date are all correct.
Thank you, all... every day is a school day for me!
Fabuleux Schumann ! Pollini y est possédé et transcendant : la flamme, la passion, la grandeur de son jeu sont exceptionnelles.
L'entente avec Karajan est par ailleurs magnifique.
A mon humble avis, une exceptionnelle pépite que je vous remercie de m'avoir fait découvrir !
Le son est plus qu'acceptable.
Je n'ai pas encore écouté le Beethoven (par Maria Tipo, donc...).
