Referentzhunter Posted April 5, 2019 Report Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Variations By A Theme Of Chopin, Pianosonate No.1 I don't know what to think of this set. Not one of my favorites Edited April 5, 2019 by Referentzhunter Quote
HutchFan Posted April 5, 2019 Report Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Martinon's Debussy goes to my desert island. Discs 1 & 2 55 minutes ago, Referentzhunter said: I don't know what to think of this set. Not one of my favorites Ashkenazy sometimes gets criticized for bland, right-down-the-middle interpretations -- and not just with Rach. Sometimes I can hear that, sometimes not at all! . . . I happen to love Ashkenazy's recordings of Rach's Preludes, Op. 23 and Op. 32. But I've not heard much else of his Rach solo-piano recs. I have Ashkenazy's Rach PCs with Previn & the LSO -- I think they're OK, but not among my favorites. (I've never heard the Ashkenazy's PCs with Haitink & the RCOA that are in the this set.) Actually, my favorite Ashkenazy Rachmaninov PC recording is the 3rd with Ormandy, originally released on RCA in the mid-70s: Edited April 5, 2019 by HutchFan Quote

It is about energy and fire but i wished it would contain more Romanticism. Those Preludes are beautifull indeed as are some parts of his pianoconcertos and some other pieces have their moments to. Never heard that Ormandy version but i am a fan. Bye the way. Ordered this set by martinon for only 17 euro. I am a Debussy fan and it contains works i don't have in my collection. I like Ravel also.
