'Ashkenazy plays it marvellously well, and seems oblivious of the difficulties [Gaspard]. His soft playing is really soft, and yet always full of atmosphere and tension. He is lazily relaxed in 'Ondine', hushed and mesmeric in 'Le Gibet', and what one might call calmly brilliant in 'Scarbo'. It is this combination of brilliance and poetry that is so individual about his playing, and the combination is especially striking in the Chopin Scherzo in E major.' (Gramophone)
