At once you can feel the tense, the eager, the expectation in Richter´s playing of this Schubert sonata which was one of the first records known in the "West" on a studio record. Here now You can hear it "live" from his home place, the Moscow Conservatory, - and can let hypnotisize yourself.
Not quite. There is a Doremi recording of the Etudes in Savona 1991 played in recital with a Mozart sonata and Prokofiev Sonata 4 . This one is better sound though.
Fascinating to compare to the Prague performance. Here, despite the circumstances of the recording the concentration and intensity of colour is immense especially in Oiseaux Tristes.
The end of the 4th Ballade is phenomenal playing even by Richter standards. Fast, clean and incredibly moving. I wish we could have heard the Polish audience's response to such passionate, heartfelt playing.
Richter's playing has that unique combination of qualities: a visceral excitement coexisting with a penetrating musicality, and, at the same time, projecting the form of the piece as a whole.
Nachklatsch: Schon hier zeigt sich der bipolarer Charakter von Richters Spiel, welchen er aber in magischer Eingebung zu einer einheitlichen Werkaussage verbindet.
Eine schöne Überraschung, dieser "frühe" Richter!. Wild eruptiv hat er doch alles Im Griff, im Zusammenhang, und die Lyrik des Komponisten ist dennoch darin eingebettet. Danke Ihnen, Yuriy Bokhonoff!
