Maestro Ashkenazy has given the world so much of himself and his artistry, all with a disarming humility which has made him beloved by artists of all kinds, solo, orchestral, chamber musicians, and conductors, and this has also made him beloved by audiences all over the world. I never lived in a large enough city to hear Ashkenazy perform live, but I can watch films like this and hear his recordings, thank God! I’m really hoping he and his beautiful wife are enjoying a happy and well deserved retirement together, with their children and grandchildren! Many, many thanks!

Ashkenazy is just a pure genius, so brilliant and virtuous. Simply awesome. He's definitely among the three most gifted pianists in the world. And the way he plays and interprets Chopin is second to none. What a concert, what a performance, what a treat. Thank u, Vladimir. We thank u to the huge contributions to classical music, eunuch u have made!

Personally, I like the pace Mr Ashkenazy played Op 9 No.1, it is the right speed that touches my heart and soul, not rush not loose. I play and listen this piece from different pianists for years and still found Mr Ashkenazy's version is the best . thank you very much 😊

I too like Ashkenazy playing the piano professionally. But allot of Asian piano players are considering, do consider, that playing it, "From the Book," is a sign of weakness which is why Asian piano players will get something from Chopin by playing it the way they want to, far from the original; why is this occurring in the year 2023 with Asian piano players?

Perfect. I hate when pianists play this too fast disregarding the beauty of piano and capturing the slow emotion nuanced in each note.

Ashkenazy respects Chopin’s markings on the score, which is why it unfolds so beautifully, so inevitably, no rush. There artists who are concert pianists (Ashkenazy is one), and there are self centered entertainers who happen to play from the same music score. I feel sorry for the people who can’t hear the difference and think that speed is the only measure of greatness. Poor, silly people!

Sometimes, no matter how badly you want to be able to do something, it just won’t be possible. Sometimes we have to appreciate what other people possess and we will never possess ourselves. We must appreciate and thank Chopin for writing music which will forever be at the top of mans greatest achievements and we must appreciate and thank Ashkenazy for playing Chopin’s music as though he had descended from heaven after conversing with Chopin.

i have to dislike this comment. i felt that way for a long time until i just pulled up my bootstraps and locked myself in my room for 4 years. thankful to have an upright. now i’ve just finished Op. 18 waltz and now i’m playin the opus 15 no 2 nocturne. only if you love it enough. this music is meant to be played. you only get to if you want to. i couldn’t not. rather be dead. now i can’t fathom not being able to play. just do it. humans are capable of far more than you’d imagine.

Me, too! He plays so intelligently, with such quiet, powerful eloquence, even during the fff passages he remains inwardly still. He uses his monumental technical skills in the service of the music, not to glorify himself. Maestro Ashkenazy was a very, very rare artist, and I pray that he’s enjoying his well deserved retirement!

For sure, after Horowitz + Rubinsten claimed their #1 status in their era of 60s + 70s, Vladimir tagged along as #1 from 80's for the next 25 years ( no match for him). His dynamo of Chopin (all of Chopin's 150 piano works) + sprinkling of Beethoven, Liszt, Mozart + more - he has demonstrated his versatility for those 25 years.

For Chopin and Rachmaninov works, Ashkenazy's interpretation always be my main preference.
Yes, the Op 9 no 1, this tempo was only played by Ashkenazy. The other tend to rush and passed by any beautiful lines.

Ashkenazy has performed for us for more than (50) years - now in his 80s + retired. Most definitely among the Top 10 pianists of the last (75) years - ahead of him, no doubt - Rachmaninoff, Horowitz, Rubinstein, Gould, Schiff + others. He attacks the keys with strength (this polonaise was Chopin's most difficult + powerful). Vladimir carries much respect from today's younger pianists - now trying to tread the path Vladimir has trodden.

Donald Mc Cormack

Yes, Ciara ( last year ) I agree with you that Rubinstein perhaps plays Chopin better than Vladimir does but please don`t be so dismissal of him. I find him frank and direct in his interpretation. It really does go to the heart while I find Rubinstein so polished and perfect that he fails to make contact with the essential magic that Chopin intended.

Guess what?? People get to like who they want to like. And guess what else?? They aren’t jealous or cretins or idiots when they don’t like what we like! If you haven’t yet figured out that artistic taste is highly subjective and extremely personal, then how about concentrating harder on what is positive about Ashkenazy’s incredible gifts and learning from his music a mature sense of proportion?? His music is not for children!

@ SS — First, you obviously aren’t a pianist and you have never seen one of Chopin’s piano scores. NEVER! Or you would know that he put frequent markings of one word: RUBATO. Go ahead….look it up! Secondly, there are pianists who are artists and pianists who are mere entertainers. I know this because you cannot tell the difference between the ARTISTRY which is never absent from Maestro Ashkenazy’s playing, and the “entertainment pianists” who live to see which one can play fastest. But don’t feel too badly….you’re certainly not alone!

アシュケナージはとにかく速弾きのショパンというイメージが強かったですが、そうではなく、普通よりもむしろ導入部も含めてノクターンは遅いくらい。でもとても情緒があり良いですね。見直して好きになりました。

voracious reader

Believe me when I tell you that CHOPIN determined the speed for all of his pieces, and he noted it on every composition. He didn’t use metronome markings….he used the Italian notations for how he wanted each of his pieces to be played, and Maestro Ashkenazy strictly follows Chopin’s notations…. ALL THE TIME! What you heard here is the highest level of musical artistry, where only a very few can climb. The very best artists are also free from egotistical thoughts, as is Ashkenazy. What you describe is the “entertainment pianist,” who live to amaze audiences with how fast they can play, whether the composer had extreme speed in mind, or not….these pianists are not artists, because they have mastered an amazing technical skill, but they’re not interested in making music. In case you’re wondering if Ashkenazy can play and extremely fast piece by Chopin, and still plays it more musically than anyone I’ve ever heard, please listen to this: https://youtu.be/EsyGQYnvkMc

I feel the same! It doesn’t matter what composer’s works he plays, his interpretations always make me feel that he’s got them exactly right! Somehow, he’s been able to find a near-perfect balance between his intellect, his musicality, and his technique, or so it seems to me. How else could he play with such passion which is devoid of ego?? It’s truly amazing artistry!

@Галина Гранкина Please don’t be offended by “Zhuhair Bakdoud’s” comment….he has unfortunately adopted the youthful American’s tendency to say something is really bad when he means it’s incredibly good! So, when he wrote “murders,” he means that he cannot believe how well Maestro Ashkenazy played it! I hope my comment translates well, and please be assured that he is revered all over the world as one of the finest artists to play the piano, and who was fortunate enough to be recorded! Ashkenazy should surely make Russians proud!
