@billyguns2 Richter is the greatest pianist of the 20th century. Better than Horowitz and Rubenstein.
-
@Tina29x :: Try some of this Fantaisie Polonaise, the slower parts fx. - and enjoy. Or try Ballade 3 :-) You mean constant change of accidentals? Modulations, tonality. Yes, that is why it sounds so subtle.
-
I tried to play this piece and it is really hard. Even harder of Ballade 1. Legato, changing of notes constantly.. Hard!
-
superb!

The introduction resembles a lot the Rubinstein's performance(s).
Regarding the style of the opening chords, well, if you prefer
'bigger' sound then check Horowitz, he's really hitting them like
a woodcutter.

The chords of a deep peaceful dream.....

I agree that this is one of Chopin's greatest compositions and that Richter does it justice!

This is a great performance, but you should also watch the live performance here on YouTube by Rafal Blechacz. In my opinion the best one out there. Type in "Rafal Blechacz Pianist" and it is parts 4 and 5 of 5. Incredible.

other than the opening, I do think it is one of the very best interpretations of this piece..

Richter is the only pianist in my listening experience who gets the opening page of this magnificent piece absolutely right. The small notes are played as equal quarters, as written, giving the opening a fantasy-like, dreamy quality which surely Chopin intended. I think this is Chopin's greatest composition, and Richter does it full justice here,.
