Vladimir Ashkenazy: Complete Solo Piano Recordings (89 CD + Audio) [Blu-ray]

Vladimir Ashkenazy: Complete Solo Recordings - 90-disc set (1 BD, 89 CDs)

Decca proudly present the Complete Solo Piano Recordings of Vladimir Ashkenazy in one edition for the very first time. An incredible 85 albums. The new 89-CD + 1 Blu-ray Audio edition is released to mark the occasion of his 85th birthday (July 2022). Ashkenazy has been an exclusive artist on Decca for more years than any other, and it is his incredible devotion and commitment to his art that is on full show in this new reissue. The label hope we will all join together to celebrate his incredible legacy.

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.
