The Op. 34 version with the Tatrai is amazing... This, I think, has nothing to do with Richter. I am a particular fan of the Tatrai and have just acquired a...
Hello George, well I don´t, for a simple reason: I have a live-concert cd from the ninetees somewhere in Italy, which belongs to the best cds I own. He played...
Dear George, Welcome to the group! ... Well, I can more or less agree with it. A few remarks, from a non-specialist: - why start at 1950? Maybe we could...
as far as I have been able to see, his playing became already more relaxed in 1958, so for me, a second period would begin there. to make a 3th period based on...
... Dear Paul, To my honest opinion, this recording is a must for every Richter fan. Richter was at the summit of his career, and his Brahms is formidable. ...
Let's not /quite/ close the topic, since Eteri has been mentioned. I know her fairly well, having served with her on the jury of the small Yakov Fliere Piano...

I wholeheartedly agree: A really great cd. I for one (who never heard him live) don´t think Richter declined on the whole. Some very demanding pieces he had...
Whatever the age, he could play better than any of us!!!! I have a few of his Live Classics releases and even in the early 1990's he could still bring off a...

There is to observe in every serious performing musician's career periods, sometimes ups and downs, and up again or down for good. But I've never understood...
OK: Maria's description of the Brahm's Opus 34 (Richter with the Tatrai Quartet) has often been equally praised by many others. Could someone please indicate...
Hi John and Group, The 2005 discography of Richter by The Friends of S. Richter does not list the Tatrai performance at all. There is a version with the...
I generally agree with Graham. Moreover, my point of view, which may be rebutted, is that Richter's interpretations got better and better throughout his...
Hello Soren, so, my fault, the concert was in Lugano, Switzerland. Anyway on a concert in the nineties in Rellingen, Germany, he played a Beethoven op.111,...
is there anyone with experience in buying Richter lP's at e bay who can tell me how to go about it, and if you are satiesfied with their services ? Dmitri...
... Leslie, can you please confirm that this is a different performance from the Szymanowski 2 that is known as "Warsaw 15/11/1954"? In any case, a Richter...
I agree. I prefer the op.109-111 sonatas in the Philips "authorized recordings" series of the early 90s over the Leipzig recording of the mid sixties. in the...
I must side with those who see a decline in technique during the later period of Richter's career, particularly in the 1990's. I don't see any difference...
Dmitri, I hang around Ebay looking for Richter LPs and have purchased several, quite successfully. There no easy way to tell you how to use Ebay. Ebay is an...
On Op. 111, I find that Richter usually does not play the syncopated variations quite successfully, and comes closest to nailing it on the Leipzig recital. For...
... few of his Live Classics releases and even in the early 1990's he could still bring off a Scrabin Fantasy better than many of the "have technique will...
Once more and once for all, dixi, great musicians' life span is also their instrumental life span, but even if their fingers may get stiffer, sight worse - not...
I realize by now that very few of Richter's recordings were duds. I also relaize that many of his performances were poorly recorded. Which recordings of his do...
George, Except the dubious Carnegie Hall recordings (most probably with a poor stage mic) and possibly the several pirate takes, the pro recording engineers...
Hello All, After reading George Perkins' Nov. 7 message, I scoured my Richter CD collection but found none from an Italian concert in the 90s featuring works...
Dear group, Thanks to all that answered to my previous topic of Quintet Op. 34 and specially to those that helped me to get both recordings of it (with Tatrai...
