Ashkenazy has got to be one of my favorite pianists of all time. He always has a way of playing/interpreting the music in such a beautiful way, while still recording and accomplishing so much! I've been looking for this recording for a while now since I've been very curious about it because Valdimir apparently dislikes this concerto a lot. I was upset to find that it cant be found on Spotify but luckily UA-cam exists! This is absolutely amazing!
Ashkenazy claims not to like this concerto, so I never bothered to investigate this recording until I came across it by chance. And what a pleasant surprise! I love the pianist's poetic approach and attention to details and insights. Maazel, who at this stage in his conducting career tended to over-excite but here accompanied Ashkenazy sensitively. The Prestissimo section in the slow movement has an elfin lightness that is a delight to hear. I now place this recording alongside my favourite - Postnikova / VSO / Rozhdestventsky
There is so much GREAT music in this concerto, so many touching, memorable passages. Even the transitional connective tissue between themes has a deeply affecting, striking quality that never leaves one. If I had to go live in a cave with only one piece of music for the rest of my life, I would choose this concerto as that piece, and it would be enough for me. All the precious genius of Tchaikovsky is in this music.
Ashkenazy es uno de los grandes pianistas que debió concentrarse en el piano exclusivamente porque es lo suyo. Cuando Fischer-Dieskau estaba por dirigir una orquesta, se encontró con Sir Georg Solti en una reunión y lo invitó a su debut. Solti le contestó: "no puedo, en ese momento debo ir a cantar el Schwanengesang de Schubert" ¡Sin palabras!
Ashkenazy es uno de los mejores directores, así que no veo ningún problema. Además su primer amor musical fue la orquesta, no el piano. Esto explica su increíble gama de colores de orquesta en su forma de tocar; muy pocos iguales.
@@EmptyVee00000 Bueno, es cuestgión de gustos. Como usted sabe, el referente del Chopin pianístico puro es Arthur Rubinstein. Un amigo que posee el denominado "oído absoluto" me recomendó a Ashkenazy. Por ese entonces yo no lo estimaba demasiado. Años después lo escuché e incorporé a mi discoteca la integral de esas obras pianísticas. Me parece una interpretación absolutamente genial, prolija, fina y profunda.. Rubinstein es indiscutible, por supuesto, pero Ashkenazy me descubrió un modo de interpretación que me pareció genial. No es mal director de orquesta en absoluto, pero nunca le escuché algo "inmejorable" o personalísimo. Las obras que le comento son ahora mis preferidas en cuanto a interpretción. Gracias por leerme y saludos desde Buenos Aires.
The maestro himself says about this concerto: "Ah, I hate that work! It's not great, it's really a decorative work, but it demands such technical virtuosity. All those octaves, ah! Such pain! If I practised like a slave I could just about do it now." "This piece doesn't fit me very well.' What a crazy thing for me to have said! She knew nothing of music. She didn't know that I meant it was technically very difficult for a pianist with such small hands. So I went away and practised." And he won the 1962 Tsjaikovski piano competition in Moscow (Interviewed 2002)

Still one of the better recordings.

Ashkenazy is a very great artist and person.
... the power from 8:24 to 8:37 is incredible on this recording.
I love this recording of Tchaikovsky Schumann Piano Concerto No.1 in B flat minor op 23 by the London Symphony Orchestra.🎵🎶🎹

这是我最喜欢的版本啊 在我人生低谷的时候 是他给了我无穷的力量 重新点燃了热爱生活的激情 谢谢上传
27:50 soo good.
Que coisa linda 😭😭😭😭 que honra poder ouvir algo tão belo.
No existe ni existirá mas bella versión para éste Concierto
pues a mí no me gusta. No la he aguantado ni un minuto.
No crea, hay muchisimas. es una obra muy transitada. Me atreavería a decir que una versión siempre es mejor que la otra.
Absolutely
This is my jam
The very best performance of this concerto is still Van Cliburn who was given the highest award ever by the Russians in the USSR.
The maestro himself says about this concerto:
"Ah, I hate that work! It's not great, it's really a decorative work, but it demands such technical virtuosity. All those octaves, ah! Such pain! If I practised like a slave I could just about do it now."

And he won the 1962 Tsjaikovski piano competition in Moscow
