As I said earlier. This is music. Period. For ever!

I definitely prefer this tempo to the crazy speed that most others seem to use. It really adds another layer to the pre-existent darkness. Lovely performance, Richter. You own Rachmaninov's second.

Richter performed The best Rach 2 ever - the orchestra is not quite up to his level but it works

отлично !

@dusica9 mine too.richter is the greater interpreter of all time...i say that because i believe that liszt was the greatest pianist ever...richter is 2nd,but still the best ;)
-
Ah....this would be a great one to put together all in one piece with the longer youtube video allowance....
-
@enilegnave21 yea he REALLY slowed this one down, i think the melody is more resonant that way, even rachmaninoffs tempo (CHALLENGING THE COMPOSER??!!! BLASPHEMY!) seems a bit ridiculous to me, and i say this with the upmost respect, its just the melody seems to lack the same depth at his speed, i unno maybe im crazy

SVIATOSLAV RICHTER! A PURE GENIUS
-
i prefer this one, everytime i listen to the beginning it makes me cry...

Richter plays this twice as slowly as Rachmaninoff.
Not complaining, I like it slow, too. ;-D
Great composer! Great music! Great player! Much emotions!!
