I love the moments where he lets off the pedal for just a moment and you hear each and every note on it's own
-
People need to remember, this is an encore. For someone to achieve this level of perfection of this piece as an encore is truly miraculous.
-
Listening to this, I'm further baffled by how some people can say classical music is boring.
-
Even Maestro Ashkenasy has stated that it would be unlikely for him to perform this Etude live again in such a way. This is definitely a very special moment
-
It says no smoking backstage, so he lit up the piano.
-
The contrast between the staccatos and the legatos are insane, also he plays the left hand with such power. One of the best performances of this etude.
-
Takes a lot of guts to lift that sustain pedal but holy cow, what an effect. Also that voicing...First time hearing this rendition and easily my favorite.
-
As a pianist learning this etude over the course of several months...slowly moving my metronome up a click or two each day....I watch this video several times a week. It's my guide, my greatest teacher. This performance is like a beacon of hope for me that one day I might reach the levels of pianistic excellence that I desire so strongly.
-
I heard from my professor way back in college that, most of the pianist does not prefer to perform this publicly due to its highly technical content. One wrong note and phrase would sound differently.

So much swag , his swag had swag even before swag was a thing
-
What a powerful interpretation, Vladimir is among the greats. He reminds me of certain Soviet Chess Masters. He is overwhelmingly in command of his art and his craft!
-
I can’t imagine getting this right in a recording studio in one take and here he does it live in a concert hall as an encore. Sheesh!
-
my favorite Chopin's Etude Op10 rendition ever.
-
This is one of my favorites performances on YouTube.
-
The best have an uncanny ability to hold the audience in the palm of their hand, like a great orator delivering a majestic peroration. Ashkenazy is one of the greats.
-
Очень мужественное исполнение, полное блеска, огня и мощи! Браво!
-
I saw Vladimir in Sydney Opera House a few years ago..I still reckon it was one of the sweetest memories in my lifetime when he blew the kiss to the audience by the end of show..He has aged so sweet and well since this one
-
I fell in love with him bcos he played beautifully, not only the technic, but also how his feeling poured in to this piece. I heard the others played this piece but mostly awesome technic, sadly without feeling that can be captured by only playing this piece
-
Just phenomenal. Two minutes of pure genius. The right hand is dazzling, but the power and confidence in the left hand is breathtaking and what gives this performance its special magic. Amazing how nonchalant he was before going back on stage. 👏
-
This is one of the interpretations in which ashkenazy can´t be surpassed by any other pianist. So gorgeous, giant interpretation, this is absolutely breathtaking!!
