Dear Benjamin and all, First, a happy newyear to all of you, with continued inspiration by the great Richter! ... I think it is not correct to generalise here....
Beethoven the dramatist, Schubert the lyrisist.... there is some truth in that, but there is no need to save your drama for Beethoven or your lyrisism for ...
Yes, Schubert the lyricist but certainly also Schubert the dramatist. One of Richter's last plans was to get staged some of Schubert's less known operas. My...
"His Schubert remains until this day sort of ambiguous to me - doesnīt he over-dramatize the late sonatas (after all, theyīre lyric pieces, arenīt they?)?" ...
Can anyone refer me to any source where I could purchase a copy of Richter's recording of Beethoven's Op 22 Sonata made in Paris in June-July 1963? I assume it...
... Correct. ... I liked neither Schubert nor Richter prior to hearing his Schubert. Last year, hearing his performance of D894 on Brilliant Classics changed...
Dear Dick. Apart from several issues on lp, there have been some Philips on cd, namely: -PHILIPS 438617-2 T(HE AUTHORISED RECORDINGS SET) and the japanese...
Regarding Richter and Schubert, Anyone who listens carefully to Richter's performances of the D960 is bound to hear the closest thing to Angelically inspired...
Dear Albert, I donīt believe in "angelical inspiration" - I donīt follow Richterīs opinion about interpreting Schubert, Chopin and Bach. Thatīs all. If I...
Dear Benjamin, I don't believe in god or angels either, but "angelic inspiration" is figurative language meaning good beyond analysis. You can certainly ...
There in the Richter biography (to be first published on March 20th 2007, in Danish and later in other languages) Prof. Rasmussen discusses the "balance"...
Dear Bill, ... is ... -- yes, of course, I didnīt really expect you to, just tried to give you a beating :) You can certainly ... simply ... music ... you ......
I bought a book by Neuhaus with memoires, articles and diaries in Russia in 2001 when I still had a little hope to learn the language I came across it in my...
Dmitri- There is a book of writings supposedly by Neuhaus that was translated into English. From you description, it sounds like the one you got is the same...
Apart form THE ART OF PIANO PLAYING which to my knowledge was last published in London 1986 I have found this title in Italian (of which I have only very ...
Dear Dmitri, Actually I'm re-reading this book you mean. I have it in Italian (my native language is Spanish and I studied Italian many years ago so I don't...
then it was not his piano method..... so it must be the memoirs. I have read and re-read his piano method many times and still feel the urge to read it...
thank you all for the replies. Italian ?..... welll it is easier then Russian I trust...... but still.... apart from a few words of French I have no knowledge...
In case there is no English translation and the publisher is to find/reach/come to agreement with I might be able to get produced an English version. Cheers ...

No promises but neither joking. Providing there can be reached an agreement with the publisher I might be ready to engage a prof translator and get published...
Thanks Dmitri, I know the publisher well - we have met once briefly, have exchanged many e-mails and were to meet for a good talk about a year ago but who...
Hi, An English translation of the Neuhaus memories would be very important and I think very much appreciated by the "piano community". Put me on your list for...
It's a great idea: I hope you can bring it off, Antii - and, as my mother used to say - to hell with the begrudgers! (She also said "bedad" though never...
Dear Group Members, I would greatly appreciate an advice concerning the cheapest source (preferably in Europe) of the RCA CD with Beethoven Piano Concerto no....
Dear friends! I'm a new member of the Group from Russia - the motherland of dear Sviatoslav. For a long time I like Richter's art and am ready to repeat the...
Dear Anton, Your posting is well written and from the heart. I fully agree with you about the Maestro's Schubert and Schumann, but must also add his Debussy....
