All these performances are articulate and eloquent, the Chopin perhaps outstanding. Erik Smith in his notes says that the programme makes sense. I wouldn’t agree, since it is a recombination of material from two LPs, and hence fairly random. The charming but lightweight Mozart is only a filler, really. The original Bach/Chopin LP was an example of Decca understandably wanting to show two sides of “their” brilliant young pianist, rather than anything else.
The orchestra in all three mid-late 1960s performances is beautifully recorded but sounds rather too beefy when set against today’s fashion for lighter textures.
Ashkenazy is impressive in the Bach, wonderfully idiomatic and flexible in the Chopin. (Curiously, it would be decades before he recorded the Chopin Concerto No 1, and similarly decades before his return to Bach (in the studio) with that vivid and memorable cycle of the 48 Preludes and Fugues.)
Strongly recommended.
