Outstanding!!

Richter, in old age, looos like the actor Sir Anthony Hopkins.

@MrTonykulas I think he looks like Victor Meldrew

[arrau08]

different from younger Richter himself...

God I love youtube for giving me access to gems like this. I have struggled with this piece for twenty years!

[MrTonykulas]

@MusicPredominates What's your problem? Neither the advent of Youtube nor the preservation of musical "gems" by Richter belittle god. Read the Old Testement. God belittles himself. Who wrote that I merely looked at the piece for ten years? I have high standards and make more mistakes in this piece than in I do in any of the other 23 Etudes.

@MusicPredominates I think you probably need to seek the assistance of a prostitute as soon as possible!

Nechápu, že tak málo posluchačů se podívá a zaposlouchá se do této úžasné skladby-, kterou S. Richtěr interpretuje naprosto nejbravurněji- je to bouře tonů a vášní!!! Jistě mi dáte zapravdu. Vřele doporučuji.
