  • I've heard countless interpretations of this peice and this certainly made me sit up an take notice. This piece is so notoriously difficult to take it beyond a harmonic progression of arpeggios and give it true musicality. The pianist in this recording has managed, imho, to create a shimmering harp-like texture that it stands quite rightly as a fully-formed piece of music. I, for one, am impressed.

  • Hell yeah, it's Richter.

  • He loses tempo in this piece (gets faster, especially near the end) and gets a little sloppy. Pollini, Ohleson, and Argerich own this etude.

  • 57s 1mn Russian mountains !! Amazingggg

  • @abmsghost1 ...there are pianists who achieve the "effortless singing legato" much better than Richter...the purpose of discussing the "limitations" (if indeed any) in the technique, sound, etc. of major performers like Richter is that it makes us go back and listen to what we get from him even more closely...that is, after all, what the YT makes possible, the 'listening and comparing...

  • @fredericfranc "effortless singing legato" as you write is almost impossible when playing at this speed.Other factors of pianoplaying do have priority here.Anyway imho.But who are we to discuss and analyze the playing of a giant like Richter?What is taht we try to achieve by doing this?imho nothing els but making a fool of ourselves.

  • this is god!

  • ready set go

  • Wow, this is pretty bad from a technical perspective. Listen to Argerich play this piece at the '65 Chopin competition and see the difference.

  • Ja, inderdaad, zolang muziek je interesseert...

    Wedergroetjes,

    Geert.

    PS. Is wel een 'serieus' tempo, om dit 'live' te doen!

  • @geertdehoux That's the great thing about music, everyone interprets it differently :)

    Groeten,

    Maran (je bent Belgisch ^^)

  • @shenkeey

    OK, I respect your opinion, but I don't agree.

    Greetings,

    Geert.
