Richter plays Shostakovich Prelude & Fugue 4, e-moll Op. 87

très très beau!!!

such beauty

Genius! Shostakovich is my favourite composer ever and Richter is my favourite pianist ever! So this combination is absolutely perfect! And this prelude is a masterpiece! Ahhhh! And stop politicizing Shostakovich's works! Firstly he was a composer, NOT a politician! And when I read your words about the politics of that time it seems so primitive, so superficial! You almost know nothing about this period in Russia. Things were much more complex!

right and soul have no borders? theft of nature? speak sense young man...at least try to.

The intense sadness and hollows made by the much wider Facism under the Bush world, where evil and theft of nature, rights and soul have no borders.

okay, copying what you already wrote in no way clarifies anything. what do you mean by theft of nature? rights and soul have no borders? please elaborate.

I don't like the accelerando effect in the second part of the fugue.

I agree. It's slightly overdone.

just beautifull music.

the fugue is nso sad ,the fugue it is like a very sad story who happened to a very miserable man or women.......

richter plays ALL THE PRELUDES genius......

somewhat?
