From an Italian website (about Neuhaus) Lev Nikolaevic Naumov (1925-2005), the last of the three assistants of Heinrich Neuhaus, suddenly passed away on August...
... Martin, with some luck the MS is done in few months. As far as I know to what Prof. Rasmussen (the biographist - I'm the humble researcher) has been ...

The explanations Richter gave for not learning ... I'm deadly curious about Richter's negative opinion about Spanish music. Could anyone possibly give five...

"Could anyone possibly give five cents about it?" I am not sure what you mean by that. but I think I have to read it like you are dismissive of spanish piano...
... I can hardly see how Richter having not played not something he did not like, feel fitted to play or simply didn't know could be his loss. In best case it...

Thanks Martin! Well, I hope more info will appear in time. If only Ravel was Spanish, but he was born in France indeed... Dani...
... That's not what it means. It's a figure of speech. It corresponds to what people write at the end after expressing their opinion "Just my two cents worth"....

Dmitri, when writing I was 'deadly curious' to hear a bit more about Richter's negative opinion about Spanish music I absolutely didn't mean my opinion was ...
Dani, Maybe it's interesting for you to know that in fact the spanish repertoire was not unknown to Richter cause in fact in his youth (in one of his very...

Dani basically used the phrase correctly - its origin comes from the card game poker. Many years ago a new player who came to the poker table had to place a...
Why Richter did not play more Spanish music, or Brazilian - it would have been exciting to hear his reading of Villa Lobos' Rudemapoema, f.ex. - may depend on...

Hello, Even though I am a Debussy fanatic and consider his music some of the most original in all of western art culture, there is more than a bit of truth...
of course Debussy was influenced by masters of the past including Wagner but he was not just a "follower" ... if you would use the term follower for every...
The point is, Debussy was not just passingly influenced by Wagner, he was a great early fan as evidenced by his his beautiful quote concerning Wagner's music...
Hi A slight deviation from topic but I refer to Steven Spooner's email 'there is more than a bit of truth concerning Debussy's fascination with Wagner'. There...

hallo everybody! I just got the brilliant set of 5 cds from brilliant classics and I listened (finally!) to the recording of the Liszt Sonata (it's supposed to...
I agree this particular American recording from 1965 is unappreciated it is in my opinion the best of his 4 major Liszt B minor recording. The last two...
Dear Group: The Liszt sonata we hear on Brilliant Classics was recorded on 12 October 1965 in Moscow, not New York, which may be the reason it has that extra...

keeping talking about the brilliant set, I think there is another "may- have" on it: the sonata op 111, Beethoven. Recorded on 1975 (one year before...

What's your favourite fugue of both books of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier? I mean your favourite composition, not specifically SR's performance. thanks Dani...
