Opinion,

This review is from: Favourite Piano Sonatas: Incl: Pathetique, Moonlight, Appassionata (Audio CD)
Alright I will make this short and sweet. When pianists become as good at Beethoven as Vladimir Ashkenazy or Alfred Brendel it comes down to opinon of which you enjoy the most. I recommend listening to this one and then Brendel and Richter and anyone else. Just remeber get which ever one you like the most.I hope that helps!

Absolutely the Best!,

This review is from: Favourite Piano Sonatas: Incl: Pathetique, Moonlight, Appassionata (Audio CD)
I wonder if the people who wrote negative reviews about this CD really understood Beethoven. Have you heard any of his symphonies? Beethoven is about dynamism! Maybe they should stick with Mozart.Ashkenazy gave a flawless performance. And technically the CD is very well recorded, fully exploiting the dynamic range available on the CD format, very finely mastered. I consider this a golden classic worth collecting.

Ashkenazy has 'done his reading',
By A Customer
This review is from: Favourite Piano Sonatas: Incl: Pathetique, Moonlight, Appassionata (Audio CD)
Beethoven was a dynamic man who never failed to hold back hisvolatile temperament. He was not even tempered with even his closest associates,relatives and music publishers. These facts are unanimously noted by all the great Beethoven biographers, both past and present. Too not expect Beethoven's temperament too pervade his music, especially pieces as personal as his piano sonatas, is to be mistaken. Ashkenazy recognizes and keeps Beethoven's emotional nature in his playing of these sonatas. Of course, we dont know EXACTLY how Beethoven would have played these works, but to think he would not have played them in an emotionally charged manner, with rising and subsiding waves of emotion would be to misinterpret the composer. I fully expect to be jolted by loud playing after very soft playing, etc., and would never expect Beethoven to have played in a consistent dynamic level throughout his pieces. I base this on what we can read of the great Beethoven in his bigraphies and his own personal notebooks. So, for those of you who are just discovering Beethoven's music, dont be put off by those reviews that diminish the importance of individual playing style,temporal niceties and having to adjust your volume control. Ashkenazy plays the quiet passages quietly, and the charged passages emotionally, just as Beethoven wrote them. If, afterall, we are looking for consistency of piano technique throughout, we can always listen to Haydn.
