Vladimir Ashkenazy Pianist And Conductor on Decca

The two stereo Beethoven cycles, those of the Symphonies (1965–70) and the Piano Concertos (with Wilhelm Backhaus, 1958–59), form the core of this edition of the complete Decca recordings of Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt (1900–1973).

Yunchan Lim presents his debut studio album – the Chopin Études, Op.10 & Op.25 on Decca Classics. The South Korean pianist became the youngest ever winner of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2022, aged only 18; his performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 moved his conductor Marin Alsop to tears and gathered unprecedented millions of online viewers. In the months following, his rise to stardom has been meteoric, with invitations from the most prestigious concert halls and orchestras.
