@scout6686 Ha yes ironic isn't it?
-
@afertyus1000 You may very well be correct! I am not sure...I may have to do some research...

@AChrisL i thought it was liszt in his performances?

@StudiosusPerpetuus Pretentious bastard. Huge overstatement aswell.

@StudiosusPerpetuus: I agree. While Rach was undeniably one of The Greatest Pianists, he often sounded bored when performing his own work. Richter & Horowitz are among the best.....alongwith, in my opinion, Weissenberg & Janis

@MrStrav81 I've got a recording of the Op. 33 ones, I dunno if he did Op. 39, though :(
-
I wish he recorded all of the Etudes-Tableaux. He plays them so well.

(First: pardon my english) Richter is in my opinion simply the best. His analytical approach adds to the emotional experience for intelligent people, as I see it. Romantic music does particularly not need an over-emotional interpretation. A piece of music is allways greater than the composer, and Richter plays Rach. better than Rach. does himself, I think.

I know I am responding to an old post, but you are correct! Supposedly, the trend of playing without music began with Clara Wieck, who had bad eyesight. It apparently caught on after she decided to memorize her recitals.
Damn you Clara Wieck and your eyes!
