Hello What do you think of Richter's Schubert recitals in Japan? He was very inspired in that country too. In fact whatever he played in Praga and Japan is...
... Yes, I have the ones released on Regis and will review them when I work my way back to those sonatas. Actually, I have been looking for three of the Munich...
... very ... I'm only familiar with some of Richter's performances in Japan - a performance of Beethoven's Op 111 Sonata given in 1974 I think, a Haydn/Debussy...
Hi every one. It would help this "Richter in Japan commentary" if we could include the labels on which these concerts were published. So far only the Regis...
Hello John, The Schubert D.664 and D.784 Sonatas recorded in Tokyo in 1979 are on the Melodiya or MMG label and the CD is - MCD 10030. The Beethoven Op. 111...
Sorry, this isn't true. Parnassus is now selling used commercial CDs and DVDs through Amazon but not any of our private issues, which Amazon would not carry....

Sorry Folks, I made a mistake. The Beethoven Op. 111 I have is not from Parnassus as I thought. On checking again I see it is a copy of a another Japanese TV...
Dear members, I've read a very nice note of Richter on the blog of Corrado Grandis: <http://sviatoslavrichter.blogspot.com/2009/02/desormiere-and-la-mer.html> ...
Hi Eric, As I remember Debussy's La Mer is about the Northsea. I know for a long time that Desormieres performance of this piece was Richter's favorite...
Dear all, I am not sure whether this issue has been raised before, I noticed something strange last night. When I put the Philips CD (I believe it's deleted...
Hi Willem and group, I played my Philips 422 416-2 CD of Richter's Diabelli, German pressing, on my computer with the following results: Yahoo Music Player :...

Dear all, don't be alarmed by the dirty tricks cyberspace plys us. The recording in question - as already discussed several times over and over again in this...
Dear members, The other day I received a CD with a 1958 recording of Brahms 2 by Richter/Barbirolli/BucharestPO (and Debussy La Mer). It concerns Archipel,...
My understanding is that all of Archipel's releases are pirates of performances that were released earlier. So you should check the timings against other...
Dear Lou and Group, Please refer to a post on Sept. 19, 2008 from Yuriy of Kiev, listing all the live S. Richter performances of Brahms 2. There were 2 ...
It's definitely not the same as the performance with Korody - which is a ridiculously intense performance. This new Archipel recording is definitely Richter,...
Hi, If the conductor is not correct, the venue is not correct, and the date is not correct, then what do you call it? Let us hope that it really is Richter. I...
As a lifelong admirer of Richter's genius, I've been struck by his somewhat antithetical relation to the humorous and comic. Clearly Richter had a tremendous...
Review of Schubert's Piano Sonata D 845 Moscow 2 March 1957 (Living Stage)[/b] – I also have this performance on Urania (marked incorrectly as D 850 on the...
Concerning SR's sense of humor, Falk once provided a cd of a concert from Amsterdam at which I believe SR performed Beethoven Opus 101 and perhaps the Diabelli...
Well that was EMI... This is Archipel, it's an Italian pirate label for a reason. Also, this is hardly the first Richter release to suffer from wrong ...
Dear members, I think I solved the riddle of Archipel 0407. After careful listening to the first 28 bars of each of my (only) six recordings of Brahms 2 by...

To me, Richter's most important characteristic is his intensity. There is simply no other pianist who can exhibit the intensity that Richter exhibits in his...
Dear Lou and Members, Thank you very much, Lou, for your research into this problem. Your conclusions seem to be quite logical, and we are indeed grateful for ...
Dear members, ... This is a slip of the pen: it is of course Richter/Leinsdorf on RCA (studio). I do have the Gilels/Reiner on RCA (a very fine recording), so...
Richard indulged my query and wrote, "To me, Richter's most important characteristic is his intensity. ... I believe that Richter, like most pianists, selected...
