Dear members http://sviatoslavrichter.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html For the members that are able to read italian I advise to visit the blog of Corrado...
Hello ! Everybody seems to like the richter-leinsdorf-recording. It´s clearly a more heroic than lyric account of the concerto, for which reason richter...
I find no fault with the Richter-Leinsdorf Brahms Second Concerto, and certainly prefer it to the later EMI version with Maazel. But as often I like Richter...

Dear members, Dear Lou, I wish to be in your grey Rotterdam!!! The concert that you mentioned is sourced from Richter's autographs programs, I think that there...
Hello, Deutsche Grammophon is announcing Richter's complete recordings on their label (solo and concertos) to be released on a 9-CD set on May 4th, 2009. The...
Dear all There is an upcoming Richter release on the Naxos Historical label. See for example http://www.mdt.co.uk/MDTSite/product//8111352.htm The description...
... My discography shows: Fantasiestücke, opus 12 no. 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 * (Moscow, 1948) on Melodiya 15876/7, 15879/80, 27428/9 (78 rpm) but I have no proof that...
I suspect most of this material was issued on LP by Melodiya, in fake stereo (S 04165/6, S10 16399.400), and then reissued in the U.S. by Columbia (still fake...

Continuing in my backwards-chronological survey of the available Richter Schubert sonatas, today I listened to two recordings of D 840: Paris 19-20 October...
Greetings, My first post on the list... Just received a new release by Richter on a strange label, DENON Classics (SLG). Richter was on top form in his playing...
Thanks for your post. How is the sound? If it's poor, it could be the Carnegie Hall performances of Op. 2/3 and Op. 10/3 released previously on Doremi. Can you...
Dear all, there is actually a rather peculiar difference between the 1961 and 1979 recordings of the C major sonata. In the 1979 recording he is omitting bars...
Thanks for the replies. The sound is fair, typical of those on Living Stage/Monitor/Doremi labels made in 1960s. The timings: Sonata No. 3 9:29 / 7:12 / 3:18 /...
Hello all, With regard to Richter's performance of the C major sonata D 840 and the discrepancy of the timing of the 3rd movement between the Monitor (Paris)...
Movements 3 and 4 in the Schubert's C major sonata D 840 are unfinished. I don't have the Richer recordings available at the moment, but I remember that in the...
Dear John & others, Sometimes in the 70s, or later, Richter did indeed meet the special problem with hearing high notes higher and low notes lower. The very...
Continuing in my backwards-chronological survey of the available Richter Schubert sonatas, today I listened to the two available recordings of D 784: Tokyo 7...
Wrong! It was already in 1947 that Richter told in a interview by Alexander Vichinsky - as reproduced in the excellent book "Besedi s pianistami" by Alexander...
... That would indeed explain why he sometimes played with scores in the 70's..think of he Japanese recital june 1974 with the Beethoven op111. He played that...
... I checked (once more) with my score from the Henle Urtext edition: in the 1961 recording Richter plays exactly the notes Schubert wrote. ... The Henle...
I listened to 3 Richter recitals in Krakow: the first one in 1976 (Beethoven op.2 no.3, Bagatelles and Hammerklavier) and then the two next ones in late 70'...
