Richter plays Liszt Vallée d'Obermann part 2

[missmgirl26]

BRAVO!!

[AChrisL]

Horowitz's '66 Columbia live recording blows this performance out of the water.

[PoslavskySV]

Thank you very much for this video!

There is no magical things with pedals...

He hears the "Liquidity" of the harmonies and he makes it to sound.

It is a matter of hearing in the first place.

5:57 "cough!...!"

[demosj]

Wow, you actually thought this was better than Horowitz's recording?

[Sagitta1986]

Actually, if we want to be maniacal, there are other imperfections in the first part too, but what does it mean? He's a really great player.. Thanks for your uploading!

[jonabo86]

@Sagitta1986 : exactly: it does not matter. This is a great live recording, with a good interpretation of an absolutly superb peace of music!

c est grandios mais il me manque l espressivo de Horowitz ici. Ricter est moins dramatique face a la tragique de cette piece. Horowitz comprenait mieux l intention de Liszt . C est l ouevre le plus dramatique et profonde de Liszt.

[bertrandui]

@uhartchristian Oui je suis d accord avec vous. J adore Richter mais Horowitz comme vous le dites si bien interprete cette oeuvre avec une expressivite incroyable

. Dans le Crescendo final, Horowitz fait sonner les basses d une maniere unique et avec une palette de couleurs merveilleuses. Il raconte une histoire, un drame.

Richter le joue tres bien mais il n a pas cette magie (meme si dans dans d autres registres il est unique bien sur).

does he make a mistake on 2.29 or is it just an other version?

[xujia1001]

Thanks for mentioning this point, I certainly didn't notice it before:-) Well, it's not the same thing written on my score neither, but harmonicall what he played had no problem at all.

[FABrendel]

I'm sorry to countersay your response, but 2.29 is a slip indeed (he played G instead of G sharp). Also, there are plenty of them in this recording, which don't matter that much, of course.

[wayneredhart]

he clearly just stumbled.

[VforVespa]

@madeliefffje even the greater minds make mistakes...  :) they're human after all.

[Gulzt]

@madeliefffje Funny I wasn't reading the comments, but I just noticed it and was about to type the same question. I also have an older manuscript of the piece but it doesn't mention it either. I think it was a small mistake in the performance.
