RICHTER - PROKOFIEV SONATA no.6 op.82 1mvt

[lsbrother]

it'll come as a surprise to some but this guy plays better than me

[doroppulokkupoppu]

Love this piece by Prokofiev. Sounds like demolition of an entire city. Or a manufacturing plant full of gleaming metal.

[mjelle1965]

beyond believe. so much power. so dry and in-your-face. so individual. I'm overwhelmed.

[NecroSexy]

Prokofiev saw him play this in concert.

[lextune]

Overwhelming.

[apfelbrot2]

prokofjew: tha last love in my life; and richter was pronouncing!

[TheRealmsOfGold]

This sounds like a MIDI! Of course, if a human recording sounds like this, that instead makes it really interesting.

al 4:17 prende a pugni il piano :Q___ __

[JasonStreitfeld]

Prokofiev gave the premier performance. Richter premiered the 7th and 9th sonatas. (Gilels premiered the 8th).

[davecotuit]

the dedicatee and still its greatest exponent....

[RabidCh]

Richter was not the dedicatee of this sonata, Prokofiev dedicated his 9th piano sonata to Richter.

[davecotuit]

who WAS the dedicatee??????????

[RabidCh]

it was not dedicated to anybody

[davecotuit]

he did, however, give the first performance.

[morvensky]

Great but the thirds at the beginning are to disconnected for me. That is not an uncommon problem though.

[stefthe80]

its not a problem..he wants to do it this way, liking it or not its a matter of taste og course

[morvensky]

Indeed. I respect that he liked to play it this way. After all, we are all different.

[RabidCh]

Explanation is that Richter envisioned machinery, industrialism. That's why it is so "mechanical" and sometimes sounds like its propelled like a train or pistons.

[marmasiotis]

What do you mean by "disconnected"?

[shinobi1311991]

non legato
