The Well-Tempered Clavier 1 & 2 (Audio CD)

Customer Review

A wonderful, astounding recording!
Vladimir Ashkenazy, me so far mainly known as a performer of romantic and late romantic piano works (with its repertoire has always been much circumferential), shows in Bach's piano microcosm what gifted pianist and outstanding musical designer, he - still - is.
His work as a conductor has no negative impact on his pianistic skills. Quite the contrary - he has gained a lot musically.

It pays to go with Vladimir Ashkenazy on musical discovery tour of the Well-Tempered Clavier. And you can actually do for hours, because open up a surprising even in seemingly well-known pieces discoveries.
What Ashkenazy 846 discovered in C major Prelude BWV of musical differentiation and how he implements it musical and pianistic, is simply astonishing.

In the fifth Prelude BWV 850 not only Ashkenazy jeu perlé is wonderful to listen. It is his ability to make the highly differentiated polyphonic structure of the Prelude heard that one so fascinated.

And when I listen to the 870 C-major Prelude BWV, then I think: the way they do it has presented JSB. Drives away forward in the input phrase, clearly structured and pianistic perfectly presented.

The grandiose pianistic and artistic performance Ashkenazy is brilliantly supported by the audio technology. The potential of the modern concert grand piano is exhausted. No Hall, so that the clarity of the game of Ashkenazy comes into its own.

Is it presumptuous to say: Who wants to hear a recording of the Well-Tempered Clavier, the Gould structural clarity, the Swing Gulda, the romantic side of Bach at Slava judges and Barenboim can integrate very subjective interpretation of reach for Vladimir Ashkenazy recording.
At this picture can not get tired of listening to you.
