Customer Reviews
Exquisite!
Ashkenazy is in a place of rich perfection and maturity of his art on this recording. In the past, I sometimes felt that his performances were a bit technical - not on this album. His playing on Essential Chopin has depth and great passion . . . perfect Chopin!
The best recording of Chopin I've ever heard! Spectacular!
Ashkenazy's interpretation is just outstanding. A must for any music fan.
If You're Choosing...
between this album and another collection of Chopin, you should choose this one. ^^ It may have a few less songs on it, but the recording quality is so much more pristine and clear. Also, the execution of Chopin is unbelievable.
