I was listening through Mozart sonates just recently and was bored by the everage childish christal clear Steinway performances in which - as you probably all...

Well done, Antti. We are proud of you, for the seminal work that you have done. I am looking forward to the English version of the book next year. (My Danish...
I know many in this group like Schubert's Lieder, and also Dietrich Fischer-Diskeau, with whom Richter played (and recorded) several times. I will therefore...
Rich, Morton and others, In which languages above Danish the bio will appear is a commercial decision by Gyldendal's directors and result of the sales efforts...
Dear everyone: Sviatoslav Richter in Prague (15CDs), the catalog number is CMX354001 to 354015, Does this set have a big case(probably it is a paper case)? The...

Hi, There is a DVD available with Japanese titles, apparently copied from Japanese TV. There are many companies that advertise classical music on DVD. You...
Hi all, Just to add a little to what Soren said about the Praga set. I purchased a set from J&R Music (in the states) in 2003 for about $80.00. It came in a...
Many thanks to those of you who answered my query; we now have the DVD on order fron classicalrarities and are proposing to bankrupt ourselves in the light of...

It's a matter of personal opinion of course, but I think Solomon on EMI nailed the fugue with consummate ease and somehow, he seems to bring a musical line out...
Well well, Dmitri, 20 times listening to the fugue of op 106. I hope you will not turn out to be suffering a mental disease now... I hardly make it once every...
Ernst Levy is certainly one of the best--my favorite from beginning to end. An old Kapp LP magically brought back to life by Ward Marston on his fabulous...
I haven't gone back to compare, but Nikolaeva also would be worth hearing in this, an artist who excels in Beethoven and at bringing out the voices in fugues....

Neuhaus once said to one of his pupils about one of the pieces (I don't remember which, but it might well have been the fuga): So you say you don't like the...
I just put on Richter's Prague performance of the fugue, of which I keep a copy at my office. Within minutes I had a smile on my lips. I just love the piece....
The best recording of the Hammerklavier fugue, and the Hammerklavier sonata as a whole, remains the Backhaus recording of 1951, in my opinion. I would also...
Dear all, The Danish manuscript for the Richter bio is done as a fine English translation (for our sources, only) and we are working hard with illustrations....
