Search - Sibelius, Ashkenazy :: Piano Pieces

After a series of symphonic recordings, one of the greatest musicians of our time completes his love of Sibelius with solo performances of the composer's intimate piano pieces. Vladimir Ashkenazy recorded these works at Jarvenpaa Hall--which has the best acoustics in Finland--and at Ainola, the composer's own home. For "Valse triste," one of the most popular Sibelius pieces, Ashkenazy recorded the composer's transcription twice--first at Jarvenpaa, and then at Ainola using the composer's piano.
