Grammy-winning Italian pianist Maurizio Pollini has died. He was 82. Pollini performed frequently at Milan’s La Scala. The opera house said in a statement that he died on Saturday without giving a cause of death. But Pollini had been forced to cancel a concert at the Salzburg Festival in 2022 because of heart problems.
ROME — Maurizio Pollini, a Grammy-winning Italian pianist who performed frequently at La Scala opera house in Milan, has died. He was 82.
La Scala defined the pianist as “one of the great musicians of our time and a fundamental reference in the artistic life of the theater for over 50 years.” “I grew up in a house with art and artists,” Pollini said in an interview. “Old works and modern works coexisted together as part of life.” After his first international recognition, however, Pollini put his career on hold to study, explaining that performing right away would have been for him “a little premature.”
