Free Music Notes for Shostakovich: 24 Preludes & Fugues, Op. 87 Album

Free Music Review: Gorgeous playing, superior to Nikolaeva
Hit: 5 Stars

There is clearly much heated debate about which recording of these wonderful pieces is the best. All I can say is that before I got Ashkenazy's recording, I was somewhat underwhelmed with the 24 Preludes and Fugues. The beauty of the music sustained me for the first CD of Nikolaeva's set (first 10 preludes), but I confess I never really could get into the rest. After having no trouble listening to Ashkenazy all the way through and seeing what beautiful music I had been missing, I went back to the Nikolaeva to see what the problem is. She's SLOW. Her tempos and general imprecision drag the music down significantly. Admittedly, Ashkenazy isn't very idiomatic, there's nothing special about his playing in particular. But he's clean and precise, and he lets the music breathe. I admit I'm biased, I never met an Ashkenazy recording I didn't like, but this beats Nikolaeva easy. Hell, it opened my eyes to one of the greatest piano works of all time. I can't comment on the other available recordings (like Jarrett) as I have not heard them.
