Stephanie Hughes presents a recital given earlier this week by the celebrated Italian pianist Maurizio Pollini at London's Royal Festival Hall. Pollini, whose recent performances on the South Bank have been greeted with a succession of standing ovations, performs works by Schumann and Liszt, including sonatas by both composers.
