Right now, there are two places of birth in the article: Nizny Novgorod (or something like that...) and Gorky. - Atavi 19:42, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
His name sounds like Georgian origin. Is that true? iyigun 22:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
It's a Jewish surname. 58.168.37.204 08:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Am I right in thinking that the "Central Music School" mentioned is part of the Moscow Conservatory? As a non-expert in the subject I initially read it as saying he'd been to two separate institutions, but the absence of a link to CMS caught my eye. fontles ( talk) 09:54, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
A discussion has arisen elsewhere as to whether Ashkenazy can properly be classified as Jewish, and as a result the Jewish-related categories have been deleted. [1] Indeed his father was Jewish, his mother was a non-Jewish Russian, and in interviews he seems to be saying he does not identify as Jewish. [2] Under the circumstances, and given our deference to living people, it would not seem appropriate to categorize him as Jewish. - Wikidemon ( talk) 08:04, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

"Since 1978, because of his many obligations in Europe, he and his family have resided in Meggen, near Lucerne in Switzerland."
So nothing to do with the tax advantages then? AuntFlo ( talk) 05:33, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
I just added a link to digitized photographs of Ashkenazy, held in UCLA Library's Special Collections. It's a resource that I think others will find meaningful and useful, but I'm mentioning it here because I'm a librarian at UCLA. I had nothing to do with the creation of the project, but I still want to make sure that it's generally agreed by page editors that this doesn't represent a conflict of interest.

What does "He did not really cooperate" mean? I'm sure you wouldn't see that in a real encyclopedia. It seems so subjective and casual. Usually when folks say "didn't really", they mean "did really, but only a bit." Can't we do better than this kind of vague, woolly, off-the-street language? 2601:600:8500:6A40:6473:563:2943:8387 ( talk) 20:44, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
Ashkenaze is one of the most famous and wide-ranged pianists who has small hands, and still was able to play the whole repertoire, even if he in an interview video on YouTube says that the Tchaikovsky Concerto was not good for his hands because there are many octaves in it.
In 2007 he gave up performing on piano: Vladimir Ashkenazy has decided to give up playing the piano in public, according to a recent article in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
He told the paper that he didn't want to discuss details, but that he some "physical problems." He did, however, show his extended hands to the Corriere journalist, who noted that three fingers were misshapen by arthritis. https://forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/920017.html (written By Vivien Schweitzer, April 30, 2007 whose article appeared in Playbillarts.com - I found the text on the above link.) d-axel ( talk) 21:17, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, why was my modification removed? I added that Vladimir Ashkenazy has the Swiss citizenship, and I I've also added references. What's more, I know his son personally, who wrote me that his father had three nationalities: Russian, Icelandic and Swiss. Can you please avoid deleting changes that are sourced?
