Description:

[Ashkenazy's 80th Anniversary Encore Press: Ashkenazy Masterpieces 1200] The performance is precise and delicate, careful, rich in scale, and generous without ever skipping a beat. Ashkenazy recorded the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas, but this recording is different from the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas. This is a Japan-only project. Recorded May 1970 (1, 3), May 1972 (2), London (stereo)
