Music reviews of Beethoven: Moonlight, Waldstein, Appassionata / Ashkenazy (Penguin Music Classics Series)
Music Review: outstanding playing of Beethoven's greatest solo works
Rating: 5 Stars
Ashkenazy certainly has outdone even himself. The content of this album is timelessly unbelievable. I do believe it may be the greatest recording so far of the three "giant" Beethoven sonatas. Without spoiling the surprise amd wonder for those of you who have not yet experienced the magic, I can only promise that the 'Moonlight', the 'Appassionata' and the 'Waldstein' each hold delicious, hidden secrets as interpreted by the performer, and whisk you away into the mind of their composer each time you listen. A Great Escape, indeed! Give your ears a treat!
