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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited April 6, 2019 by Referentzhunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Now listening to a new-to-me CD that arrived a few days ago, BERLIOZ's Requiem as performed by Leonard Bernstein, Stuart Burrows (tenor), Orchestre Philharmonique et Choeurs de Radio France & the Orchestre National de France: Bernstein's interpretation of this music has the overwhelming force of a tidal wave sweeping away all before it. It's SCARY. And I mean that in the best possible sense. Turn it up to ELEVEN and be transported!!!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
