The opening octaves of the cross hands seems to "flow" here, very different to several other performances on You Tube and Bing - truly Richter was simply a perfectionist (like Lipatti) and one of the greats. Alas his later recordings seem to be circumspect and like both Kempff and Backhaus lack polish - but savor the early ones!

Too bad the narrator covered up the initial horn solo....
-
@kh3205 True enough but I still maintain that for an "all around" pianist Richter was still the greatest.
Actually, I think Richter would have done a good job with Faure!
-
@SatchmoSings Richter had a wide variety of repertoire, but he was still a human. For example, he did not perform some French composers, like Faure. Obviously, Richter knew his limits.

Exactly how many wrong notes does a person have to play before biassed idiots notice?

The look at 1:50 *BEAT THAT YOU UNWORTHY VIOLINIST*

Richter started to play piano at age of 8. is father gave him a few lessons ans after he continued alone. Hi didn't have a teacher untill he got 21 or 22. The concerts that Richter gave when he was 19, he gave them just for fun, for people he knew, who liked music. When he was teenager, he got a job in some kind of theater in Odessa. He accompanied amateur singers and was payed for that, but never got an idea to become a pianist at that time...

I was priviledged to see Richter's debut playing this concerto with the Chicago Symp. Must have been 60?Still my favorite recording..
I had 12th row left center seats and was on the edge of my chair the whole perfornmance. Real hair on the back of my neck experience. I've never seen or heard anything like Ricther before or since.
The conducter was Fritz Reiner. He recorded it a few days later with Liensdorf for RCA not Columbia?
Also like Cliburn and R. Serkin. Richter stands alone!
