5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable recording!, 1 Sep 2005
By A Customer
It was quite an achievement to have recorded all five Prokofiev

concertos one after the other. Vladimir Ashkenazy was at his

best in the seventies. As well as the brilliant playing he

showed deep maturity. I actually like him playing the number

three better than the way Pletnev interpreted it on a much more

recent recording. Of course I think Pletnev is a magnificent

pianist and his conductor was Rostropovitch on his recording.

All my life I have been an enormous fan of Rostropovitch. In

their recording, they deliberately take certain passages much

slower and the famed part where the piano bass leads

effectively in the slow movement, Pletnev suddenly deliberately

plays it percussively. I personally like that small section

played the usual smoother way.

I know that Ashkenazy got on particularly well playing with

Andre Previn. Previn himself being an excellent pianist. One

feels there is true understanding between Ashkenazy and Previn.

One must remember, that Ashkenazy made his New York debut in

the later fifties with Leonard Bernstein as conductor with the

New York Philharmonic playing the Prokofiev second concerto.

His playing is brilliant throughout all the concertos, but his

playing of the number two is magnificent. I have the same

recording on the orrigional L.P. I definitely feel it sounds a

little more harsh on the C.Ds. That sometimes happens when they

trasfer recordings to C.Ds.

I would still highly recommend this recording. It certanly

gives me great pleasure listening to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dazzling , 10 Sep 2008
By maximus (manchester, uk) - See all my reviews
  
Ashkenazy together with Andre Previn conducting the LSO, give the most exhilarating performances of these piano concertos. The 3rd concerto is widely available recorded by several other top artists, and Ashkenazy's remains amongst the best out there. The the added bonus here is the fact that the same dedication and depth of understanding and communicating the music is applied to the other 4 less well known concerti, and to have them all in one budget double CD set makes this an absolute must have for Prokofiev fans, and fans of virtuoso piano playing! My personal favourite in this set is No.2 with its dark, brooding and sometimes shocking quality. It's a big contrast when compared to the more lyrical and mercurial No.3
