So good you would think it was Yuja. But Yuja had not done her scherzos yet...

wow.To me this one is right next to Rachmaninov's in expressive power.

@ultracoolhomies We heard the same. This very moment is a pure miracle of music. It sounds like a second piano is echoing from some nearby mountains.

When I listen to Richter, I always see a man grabbing bunches of crystal grapes from the vine. LOL. I just love him. His music is so full of passion it uplifts me.

@AvidHobbyist thanks for uploading it! I just listened. She does many interesting things in the beginning--unexpected things I've not heard before. The coda, however... some strange hiccups here and there. I prefer her scherzo #1. Thanks again!

@fourmi1060 What do you think about rachmaninov version?
Just because he had a very different view of pieces does not mean he is a 'preposterous dork'. For example, no one has the crystal clear rhythm on the Schumann.

Its not nessecarily a bad thing. Besides, I don't think she is unfaithful to the score.
