This man's musical sensibility of these compositions are beyond reproach. They are very difficult compositions to perform and he does it with such clarity.
The clarity of phrasing and voices and sheer intellectual and emotional power in Ashkenazy’s playing has always left me speechless with appreciation!!
He sits quietly at the piano, no distracting facial grimaces, just gives us the music. Such a great musician, both pianist and conductor. Vast repertoire. How anyone can learn so much music is simply beyond me.
Ashkenazy at his peak producing extraordinary playing. He has always shown a complete understanding of Rachmaninoff's intricate yet ultra romantic keyboard style.
That's the key word! Complete understanding!
Absolutely fantastic! Ashkenazy's take on Rachmaninoff's diplomatic ET is uncanny. He renders them with such strength and confidence: that's the ticket. I'm always particularly amazed by his interpretation of the first étude-tableau: he just cuts to the chase.
I'm blown away by the climax of the No.5 Etude here, he doesn't play it anything like the Horowitz jackhammer - he plays it like you were being chased by a tornado and then all of a sudden you're in the eye of the storm, watching the carnage slowly build back up. Incredible.
Ashkenazy has been a favorite of mine ever since I first heard him ....he was a friend of my cousin's in London in the 1950s. I love his Rachmaninoff..
+Mapesbury100 Apparently he was much admired by Richter no less. I attended a couple of outstanding recitals he gave in london during the 1960s when he was comparatively young and at his absolute peak.
I really appreciate that you share this. It means an enormous amount to me. Fabulous playing and marvellous interpretation. My favourite music played by my favourite pianist.
Herbert Hall my pleasure. I'm very happy to hear it means so much to you.
+ADGO Totally agree!! :) Thanks man. Ashkenazys recording of the etudes op39 and Corelli variations was one of the first classical CDs I bougt and remains top 5 without a dobut. Awsome to see him play these live!!!
The one aspect of Ashes playing that still amazes me today was his ability to play full-out and be absolutely 100 percent accurate. Even some of the big artists today cannot play as dead-perfect as VA. It is simply astounding. I saw him live once sitting on stage about twelve feet away. I will never forget that experience. I kept waiting for him to drop even the slightest wrong note. I never happened.
I saw him in Phoenix in the late 70's. His playing is so exciting. I remember being shocked when he entered the stage wearing an old looking, frumpy wool suit and clunky shoes. I guess that was before the turtlenecks. His playing was electrifying, I just had to keep my eyes off his clothes...
@@amber40494 He is so driven, so electric... and yet never makes an significant mistake. His speed and precision and timing are just so perfect. With fast tempi. Seems to be driven by something beyond him. What a player.
Гений. Владимир, благодарю! Превосходно...
So Beautiful!!! Great pianist...He is The Best!!!!!
Русская фортепианная школа - это высокий эталон исполнительской культуры
и достояние современной России на фоне чиновничьей необразованности и искусственной "оптимизации" всех областей человеческой деятельности
I heard him in Yeovil of all places in 1994. He played Beethoven Op31 No1 and 2 and Prokofiev sonata No 8. It was absolutely mindblowing, pure music making and taking the audience on an incredible journey. His technique and musicianship are quite simply at one with each other. Every student should watch and listen to Ashkenazy not to dishearten but inspire as an example of this. At the end of the concert he had time for everyone for at least an hour and he was so alive and fired up. What a musician. What a man.
Ashkenazy has a huge repertoire, and he plays everything superbly (Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev).
Don't forget Bach
And he’s a world class orchestra conducted to boot! He must have a phenomenal memory.
Love the Artistry of VA
Как прекрасна музыка Сергея Васильевича Рахманинова в исполнении В.Д.Ашкенази!
Благодарю!
Спасибо Вам,ADGO!

Ashkenazy's Etude-Tableaux op. 39 and Corelli Variations (Decca Digital) is one of the greatest piano recordings ever released. Here we can see he could do it all, live, as well. Unbelievable. Thanks for the inspiration.
19:06 ~ 19:15 was the best extraordinary performance I ever listened at this etude.
no.1 is breathtaking! superhuman talent
i looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this piece
Superhuman is right! I look at the score of the etudes tableaux and I havent a clue
I was waiting for all Etudes, but this is not waste my time.
I love any part of this opus... I feel thrilled and excited!!
I heart this music ten years ago for the first time. Simultaneously with the etudes by Franz Liszt. I devoured a lot of piano music, very difficult to play from devil score. But very deep inspiration.
Oh, that Number 9. Such a powerful composition.
extraterrestial performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
....SO inspiring.....what a gift to be able to compose & play like that....it leaves me in awe....
It's good to see this old footage again. There was a time when recitals like this were regularly televised - but not anymore! When was the last time we had an actual piano recital on terrestrial telly?!
Love the start, how he approached the keyboard and just started playing, like a boss :O
Such a shame that he didn't play the beautiful no.8 in this recital! Why did so many great pianists like Richter and Horowitz always avoid playing op.39 no.8? Nowadays, it's still a neglected masterpiece, but luckily some pianists of importance, like Volodos and Lugansky, actually perform this etude no.8 live on stage regularly. I wonder why Ashkenazy didn't add the etude to the program of this concert.
Correct delivering great ideas of great OP 39!!
Thank you a lot ,ВладиМИР!
Sviatoslav Richter plays Rachmaninov Etude-Tableaux Op.39 No.3 RIGHT SPEED
.
i like this speed
monumental performance !
Pura inspiración !!!!!!!!
Rachmaninoff himself was reputedly an absolutely phenomenal pianist because he performed virtually all of his music.
I guess the fifth Etude is inside the best of his work!
Rachmaninoff is a true immortal artist of Steinway, and I can recognize it...
A real master!
Wow....perfect piece...
@Gregg Michalak: Exactly, with exception of a few, and he came along at roughly the same time as Glenn Gould. What with all of the latter's posturing. I would have loved for the two of them to have hooked up in a ( play off ), so to speak. It was a frequent event in the 19th century. Ashkenazy would have matched him note for note. With the exception of Bach. And that only because Ashkenazy claimed he didnt have an affinity for the composer. I paraphrased here ( not remembering his exact statement). He has since played some Bach. Check out his ( now dated ) pressing of Prokofiev's 2nd In g minor. Lightning speed. Born to.play the instrument. Sergei's second concerto, that is.
I would rather listen to Ashkenazy. Gould was very talented. And gifted.
But not on this level. Gould always feels planned. With Ashkenazy, it always feels live.
Instictive feel for the right way to play the music, the ability to sight-read anything, lightning reflexes, a convincing interpretation of each piece, immense power, fingers of absolute steel, a gorgeous sound picture and a feeling of excitement and adrenalin that imbues everything. Ashkenazy's Rachmaninov may actually be better than Rachmaninov's Rachmaninov... certainly it is equal.
The intensity, the impact, and the feeling that you have just heard the 'best' interpretation of each work... is hard to shake. I liked Murray Perahia's versions of Op. 39 no 5 and no 6 as they were the first I heard.... But I just keep coming back and back to Ashkenazy for these. They got into his soul. And his soul got into them!
Immenso
This is my all-time reference
No2 is exquisite, sublime....

хорошо
座ってすぐ弾くのすご
his op 39 no 2 is divine
Genius meets genius.
確かこの曲（1番）はレコードには入れてなかったはずだが、実演でも、驚くほどスムーズに音が指をついて出てくるという感じがする。いつもながらよく練られた解釈で感服する。
これの実演が死ぬまでにみれるなんて！感激！you tubeは文字通り、神である。
Not many match Ashkanazy with Rach
How does one memorize an hour of repertoire to such a high standard?!
That's one of the great wonders of our universe lol
хотел на время выключить один раз, второй, не получилось. Что это?)
Мистика..
we are nobodies. he is god.
And you mock jesus was a god because he was human. Jesus had a devine side. Strange how music makes ppl delusional in what ppl can be
He came to Croydon England in the 1960s Astounding!! Only Richter comes near Ashkenzy and Richter were the two greats of the latter 20th century Brilliant
n°5 en mi bémol mineur , timing 16:15
oh no! why in n.5 does he stop the super climax at the end of the central section by beginning the theme in piano?? :(
rachm06 Because it is not the climax. The climax is in bar 60 (fff), not bar 53.
Because it's a stroke of pure genius.
UNA DELICIA
I did not liked this etude no.1 as far as I heard Ashkenazy.
Wonderful!!
!
:)
where is n6?
Of course it's excellent!
sorry.
i love ashkenazy.
but nobody plays these like RICHTER.
Francisco Patiño And nobody plays these like Ashkenazy.
Fabulous performance, but the sound is afflicted by an ugly bass-heavy sound, similar to his Decca recordings...but it's obvious that he liked it this way. Given his world-class reputation, I would think that he would have had the clout to direct Decca to record him properly...
I think his tendency to give so much "clout" to the piano is a big part of the trouble. I don't like the Decca sound, but they're both to blame.
Happy that I was not affected by the sound, and thoroughly enjoyed the Decca recordings.
So who is better off,
you or I?
I heard Rubinstein very often and no producer EVER was able to capture anywhere near what the most ravishing sound ever. Some singers never recorded well. Yes, this piano needs some work but not the player!
