    Truly, Richter is our man-God forever giving all of us this heavenly experience of implacable rhythm,

    an almost visceral force when he brilliantly switches dynamic extremes of lyricism, fire and stillness.

  • @fquesada Just shows how good a musician he really is however, always producing good sounds no matter the piano :)

  • @aldebussy hahaha did he really play a lot a lot of repertoire

  • Let me add some more. Glenn Gould, a great Richter admirer (see interview in youtube) complained that Richter did not know how to build a better image of himself through his recordings. G.G. said that Richter would play in any piano and didn't know much about how to produce a good recordl

  • Excellent composer and performer. However Abidoful's has made a point.. Recording technology from the soviet era was not exctly the best. I had an LP with this recording and the sound was poor. Soviet artist were not accostumed to demand the best instruments, studios and recording engineering. "Demanding" was a good word durign the soviet era.

  • Are you saying that Rimsky-Korsakov orchestration is not good enough for you?

  • Thanx, truecrypt !

    This is an awesome performance.

    Richter is the Maestro.

  • Thanks for posting!! I have a very personal relationship with this piece and the recording (I presume with the Galzunov no 1 and Prokofiev no. 1 on the same disc). Wow, Richter is such an idol!

  • Definetily, you are one of our Gods, Richter thanks, life is a great joy when I listen to your playing!

  • Great performance ofsmall favourite piece of mine.

    I continue to be in thrall to, and in awe of, this magical technology,that we ca get such relatively oscureperformance, and sounding quite good enough for me.

    Many man thanks.
