Following the release of the Complete Solo Piano Recordings of Vladimir Ashkenazy in one edition for the very first time, Decca Records proudly presents selected offerings from Ashkenazy’s storied career!

Paying tribute to one of the pianists he most admires, Sviatoslav Richter, Ashkenazy said that, “It was his devotion and commitment to his art that will be his legacy”. Looking back at his long and distinguished career, this is surely a description which is equally true of Ashkenazy himself.

This edition features Rachmaninoff’s 5 Morceaux de fantaisie, Op. 3, 10 Preludes, Op. 23, and 13 Preludes, Op. 32.
