Summary: Stunning!
Comment: I've just watched the Mozart A Major Concerto from this DVD set. Pollini plays like an angel from heaven. Perfection. Piano playing this good I almost thought couldn't exist in reality, but here it does. I cannot understand those who say Pollini is too cool, unemotional, etc. While it is true that he never loses his composure for an instant, his playing is, in my opinion, full of feeling and the subtle nuances of a master. Throughout the viewing I had the feeling that something great was happening, and in the middle I had the feeling that music is a very special thing on this planet, that it comes from a higher realm. That it exists as a transport between this earth plane and higher levels of consciousness and reality. A performance that can make me feel that is very special to me.

Summary: A Celestial Experience.
Comment: We have here one of the very finest orchestras, under the baton of one of the very finest conductors, in sublime communion with one of the greatest of pianists, performing some of the best works of the greatest composers, and altogether presented in superb sound and video.

So then...additional notes:

1) Pollini becomes a genuine prodigy whenever the the music engulfs his fears (usually in the second and third movements).

2) Every Adagio is sublime and good for your heart.

3) The Maestro Bohm and the Vienna Philharmonic sincerely love one another and you can tell.

Very highly recommended.
