Vladimir Ashkenazy - Nocturne in E Flat Major op9 2
I listened to Vladmir"s rendition of Chopin Nocturne in E Flat Major op9 2
It is a terrifically dramatic love song, steeped in loss, innuendo, like Two ships that did not pass in the night.
The Andrea Doria, and the Stockholm.
His rendition is all that it is, subsequently playing it as if he was in a state room on board
the Stockholm, all the while playing the Nocturne, preoccupied with how will he
preserve his own life.
That's amongst my favorites, and I will never play it the way he did.
Perhaps Martha Argerich, or Helene Grimaud would do well with the piece.
