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 Chopin's 4 Scherzi alongside the Prelude, Op. 45 and Barcarolle, Op. 60.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
