Music Under Soviet Rule: Ashkenazy Talks About Shostakovich vladimir ashkenazy talks about the composervladimir ashkenazy was interviewed by son of his country (ashkenazy taps his palm emphatically Mr. ashkenazy, many thanks for giving us so http://www.siue.edu/~aho/musov/ash/ash.html
Extractions: SHOSTAKOVICH AND THE SOVIET STATE Vladimir Ashkenazy talks about the composer Vladimir Ashkenazy was interviewed by John Stratford and John Riley in October 1991 while travelling by car to his hotel from Walthamstow Town Hall, where he had spent the day rehearsing the Eighth Symphony with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This interview, conducted shortly before the attempted Communist coup which, backfiring, brought Boris Yeltsin to power, originally appeared in DSCH. You left the Soviet Union in 1963. Did you ever meet Shostakovich? I met him two or three times. Once I played his Trio for him with some friends of mine. He was very sweet. But he didn't make any comment. Later I found out that this wasn't very good. It probably meant he didn't like our interpretation too much! Fair enough, we were only students. But I thought we played quite well! Another time I met him at a concert, and he congratulated me; and another time I went to the first performance of his Cello Concerto, given by Rostropovich with piano accompaniment, in the Union of Soviet Composers. I shook his hand, I think. But I never met him properly. You mentioned playing the Trio. Have you played much of the piano music?

Vladimir Ashkenazy In Concert With The Cyprus State Orchestra the packed Nicosia Municipal Theatre were treated to an exquisite performance by vladimir ashkenazy, one of the worlds greatest pianists, chamber musician http://kypros.org/PIO/cyprus_today/sep_dec2001/page11.htm
Extractions: Vladimir Ashkenazy in concert with the Cyprus State Orchestra October 7th, 2001 was a unique evening for lovers of classical music in Cyprus. The audience in the packed Nicosia Municipal Theatre were treated to an exquisite performance by Vladimir Ashkenazy , one of the worlds greatest pianists, chamber musician and conductor, who performed in concert with the Cyprus State Orchestra in the double role of soloist and conductor. Ashkenazys participation in the concert undoubtedly constitutes a great honour for the Cyprus State Orchestra. The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians refers to Ashkenazy as «the finest of younger Russian pianists» whose «playing combines intellectual probity with warmth and sincere feeling, and is marked by exceptional sensitivity to tone colour and delicacy of fingerwork». The programme, which was dedicated to works of W.A. Mozart , began with the Don Giovanni Overture, followed by Piano Concerto No. 27 in B Flat, KV 595, one of the last works of the great Austrian composer. After the interval, the performance was concluded with Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, KV 466, a favourite in the repertoire of 19th century pianists and often performed by the young Beethoven. Ashkenazys outstanding virtuosity and artistic sensitivity, combined with his flawless interpretation, totally enraptured the audience, who responded with a seemingly unending standing ovation at the end of the performance, showering the great pianist with countless bouquets of flowers.
Vladimir Ashkenazy: "Nothing By Halves" vladimir ashkenazy is one of the finest pianists this century has produced, and he has in the past decade become a formidable conductor as well. http://www.worldandi.com/public/1986/august/ar3.cfm
Extractions: Issue Date: AUGUST 1986 Volume: Page: MUSIC Vladimir Ashkenazy: "Nothing by Halves" BY PAULINE LONGFELLOW AND DANIEL BURGART Vladimir Ashkenazy is one of the finest pianists this century has produced, and he has in the past decade become a formidable conductor as well. Born in the Soviet Union, but having lived in the West since 1963, he is a man who has not only devoted his life to music, but has also searched for absolute values upon which to base his lifevalues distinct from the vastly different but nonetheless often compromised standards of both Soviet and Western society. His life and his insights, as well as his superlative music-making, are a continuing source of soul-searching and inspiration. Ashkenazy was born on July 6, 1937, in the city of Gorki, about 250 miles east of Moscow on the river Volga. His father David was of Jewish lineage, but did not retain his forefathers' faith or traditions. Ashkenazy's mother, Evstolia, was of pure Russian descent. The infant Vladimir was baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church, and he says he still feels close to Orthodox Christian ideas, at least in principle.

Extractions: There is not that much to add to the other reviewer's comments: these two discs are a bargain and unreservedly recommended. Ashkenazy is indeed the very best overall Chopin interpreter around. I immensely enjoyed his treatment of pieces such as the second scherzo and the g minor ballade. Not to mention the etudes, the preludes, etc. etc. All is crisp and clear, and the fact that some recordings are analogue doesn't matter at all: in fact, they are hard to be discovered. But keep something in mind: as I said, Ashkenazy is arguably overall the best. This implies that he can be bettered in some ways. Philips has also released a Best-of Chopin set, which contains better renditions of some Waltzes (Kocsis), the Barcarolle and Mazurkas (Kovacevich) and the impromptus (Davidovich). Additionally, the Philips discs give you the Marcia funebre, the Fantaisie-Polonaise and the fourth Ballade, three big pieces that cannot be found over here. Overall it is more balanced too. So if you are going to buy just one best-of-Chopin set, go for the Philips. The best choice, however, is to get both of them!
