Free Music Review: Ashkenazy at the Top of His Form
Hit: 5 Stars

As a longstanding admirer of Ashkenazy, I was eager to hear how he interpreted this "New Testament" of piano literature (as it has been called). I was not disappointed. Ashkenazy's formidable virtuosity and probing intellect are much in evidence throughout this set. His approach emphasizes the titanic rather than the reflective aspects of these works, and for that reason some listeners might prefer Kempff or Schnabel, particularly in the later sonatas. Ashkenazy can make the piano sing pellucidly or roar commandingly, and this wide dynamic and toal spectrum is entirely appropriate for Beethoven.

I am not about to give away my Backhaus, Kempff, Schnabel, and Frank recordings; each of these artists provides a unique perspective on this greatest canon of solo keyboard literature after Bach. But to these illustrious sets I must now add Ashkenazy; for the present his extraordinary artistry will place him near the top of this select list.

The remastered recordings (from analogue originals of Seventies vintage) vary from good to outstanding. There is just a hint of what sounds like temporal distortion here and there; also the treble register of Ashkenazy's instrument is not as truthfully caught as his "roaring" bass. Strongly recommended nevertheless.
