Sviatoslav Richter plays Schumann Fantasy in C major, Op. 17 (1/4)

[hansmeyer111]

I don´t know for what reason I´m crying

Maybe because such a music is not beeing written anymore

Maybe because Richter is a giant and my tears are the diamonds my soul is giving when I hear him

Maybe because there are people like truecrypt and I´m so thankful for the treasures he shares with us

@hansmeyer111 Maybe because you're a nancy boy.

Richter is still the best. When, if ever, will somebody come along who can knock him off the throne?

[stefthe80]

oh god i love this music and i love this pianist

[punkpoetry]

truecrypt, what is the earliest known Richter recording?

[truecrypt]

I wish I knew... but most probably those are recordings made in 1947-48.

Colossal, and Who knew that Richter could play with such gossamer delicacy (1:17)?
