The big head makes exquisitely beautiful music.

Too much chinese lady, not enough Ashkenazy. :)

The opening is surely meant to be a shimmer! Mechanical, clear performances of the opening are not exactly impressionistic... Ashkenazy is right on the money in my opinion - fantastic recording, thanks for uploading!!

Normally I love Askenazy's renditions, but i hate this one. Too fast :_( Pogorelich is the top here.

@GiovanniEMB: I agree. This is superlative playing.

@smzmusic sry i won´t comment that! it was by accident that i commented the last time..normally musicians don´t comment on youtube! they hear and than read and in nearly every case they laugh.
i haven´t studied the work already, but i know it by playing and hearing it with attention, and i tell you only after years of working you will realise that ashkenzy makes (not all) fantastic things here. and lisitsa well that shreds your ears only! be a musician man!
Why is it that people consistently comment in these YouTube videos that the pianist is unemotional if he doesn't make faces? Why do a pianist's eyebrows have to be going up and down like a yo-yo for him to "feel" the music?? This performance is stunning and I respect pianists who don't try to fake feelings.

Poor Askenazy, ever underrated. See all this comments. He play so fast and so clear, and whit unusually great singing tone. Clear and good dramatized sense of form. The sound is wonderful.
