[aloisiuslouis]

lo chopin inciso da askenazy mi sembra, a tutt'oggi, complessivamente ancora il migliore: passione forte ed equilibrata

Ashkenazy was such a fantastic pianist at the time this was recorded. Remember this was a live recital. I have so much respect for this truly great man.

Блистательно!

2:55 Chopin was painted human...by 3:11 he became half Alien! o_O

[steeeeevve]

not well played

[EmptyVee00000]

@steeeeevve I suppose you prefer a more robotic way of playing this sonata.

[Sturrfry]

@EmptyVee00000 i agree with steeeeeeeewe actually, this is way too fast.

[joernbroeker]

@EmptyVee00000 I don't like this performance either and that has nothing to do with robotic play or not. I miss the singing and lyric tone that Rubinstein has for example. Furthermore I think he has an exaggerated detail work and the "big context" is often "torn into pieces". The third thing I don't like is that his playing is not "juicy" but rather "dry".

It is wonderful to hear this.
