Vladimir Ashkenazy (piano) This is Ashkenazy’s fourth studio recording of the “Barcarolle,” his third of the Ballade in F Minor, and his second of the Polonaise-fantasie, and he has found something new to say about each of them. The performance of the Ballade does not supersede his white-hot 1964 recording (available on a Decca Legends disc). But there is a more assured narrative sweep that, without eschewing any important details, makes this new performance a marvel of musical storytelling. The “Barcarolle” is also gentler than its predecessors. Ashkenazy has lost some of his old power, but he has an expanded capacity for playing softly with a full range of nuance for extended periods. Every phrase of Ashkenazy’s “Barcarolle” is filled with yearning, nobility, and passion; it’s among the best performances of the piece ever recorded. That’s also true of the Polonaise-fantasie. Ashkenazy no longer seems to be straining to make sense of this mysterious and episodic piece. He has been performing Chopin’s music in public for almost 50 years and has recorded all of it, most of it more than once. It is Ashkenazy’s familiarity with his music, perhaps, that permits him to play the greatest and most problematic of Chopin’s works almost as if he were dreaming it. –Stephen Wigler –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
