Review: Ashkenazy's Bach Well-Tempered Clavier
When this CD was just released, I thought much about whether I should
buy this work. There are already so many master interpretations, including
those played by Glenn Gould, Richter, Tureck, Nikolayeva, and Schiff.
And there were quite few reviews about this new work by Ashkenazy when it
was just released.
But I still gave it a try. And, WOW!, I am glad that I have made the purchase
decision. As a pianist, Ashkenazy seldom dissatisfies his audiences recently.
His Shostakovich Preludes & Fugues is a good example. And this Bach
Well-Tempered Clavier is no exception. The style of the whole work is a little
like Sviatoslav Richter PLUS Glenn Gould. The rhythm is rich, fresh and
colorful with the spiritual sound produced by Ashkenazy's beautifully
using the pedals. If someone wonders whether it is bland, I can tell you
it definitely is not. Ashkenazy possesses the animation of Glenn Gould but
proceeds without GG's sometimes eccentricity. Ashkenazy expresses the
beautiful sound and smooth rhythm of Sviatoslav Richter but bounces and
rocks more! However, in addition to all the above features, you can still
feel and appreciate Ashkenazy's unique understanding of this classic.
And his uniqueness is pretty.
This is a masterwork played by a master. Take it, and put it among those
previous interpretations. We have a new classic.
