  • This interpretation is great, it's powerful and inspiring. By the way, I think Richter looks a little like John Malkovich.

  • Yes!!! I always felt Malkovich would be the perfect match for Richter's role, if such movie would ever be made! Body language, face expression, even the way he talks...

  • Really? You said that Richter was a very kind and generous man. To me Malkovich is a brilliant actor, truly unique, but full of what I would call a "negative charm." He's someone that's fascinating to watch but I wouldn't go to have a beer with him, so to speak.

  • @Pogouldiwitz

    I don't know about Malkovich character, but he definitely has some "magnetic" qualities. He may have completely different personality but I just feel he could play Richter like nobody else. You know - just a feeling... ;)

  • Oh my god, I'm gonna kill myself after I listen completely this piece. I didn't know that Richter has such an enormous performance in Chopin, particularly in this piece. A divine interpretation!

  • I think Richter is a genius. It is not only a true master is also a Coloso...

    his virtuosity, in our time has been lost, it's a shame

see all
