Hello, I purchased a wonderful DVD from Parnassus Records recently showing Sviatoslav Richter playing Handel's Suite No.3, in d, and Andrei Gavrilov playing...
Richter and Gavrilov played the Handel Suites Nos. 2, 3, 5, 8 on July 1, 1979 and the Handel Suites Nos. 9, 12, 14, 16 on July 8, 1979. Both Richter & Gavrilov...
Hello, Jack: I'm pretty sure the performances were in Tours (the Tour Festival) with the date june/July 1979 . They played in Chateau de Marcilly-sur-Maulne,...
Jack, this is the well known recording from Marcilly sur Maulne, 1979, also on EMI CDs (in a frustratingly "corrected" form). I have uploaded 2 scans of my...

When watching this concert recording one can see the deep fascination in Richter's appearance and strange indifference in that of Gavrilov, when turning page...
... fascination ... Gavrilov, ... the ... It's all speculation of course, but I can imagine that the at that time young Gavrilov was nervously anticipating his...
It could be the case that a young pianist on side of Richter, waiting for his turn was nervous and not able to show more interest in Richter's playing as...
Antti, I see from reading the review you provided the link for that Karl Aage Rasmussen is the author of the Richter biography. Were you assisting him then in...
I'm sorry to hear about Gavrilov's attitude toward Richter later on . It does not speak well of his character. I now think you may well be right in your...
Dear Antti, Thank you for this most interesting post and link, and for your untiring efforts to get the Richter book into print. As before, if the book's ...
Dear Antti, Jack and others, Some ten years ago, during a vacation when visiting a gallery, I heard the slow movement of a piano concerto. I did not know the ...
Dear Lou, I first watched the video we have been discussing only about a month ago. I was only made aware of Gavrilov's attitude later through Antti's report...
... also ... Pete, Sorry to be so late in responding. I saw your files showing the program some time later ( I'm new to the forum, and am still learning to...
No, I did the Gavrilov interview myself, as the Russian speaking interviews, some in cooperation with Rasmussen but the most by myself. It may happen that I...
No, I'm not the author of this biography, but did extensive research, translated a lot and was a kind of Richterian tour guide for the writer, Prof. Karl Aage...
... assume ... I've uploaded a picture (790701a.jpg in the files section) of the unsigned half of the programme for the Handel Suites, from which you can see...
... Antti, Richter's playing speaks for itself. Unfortunately, so does Gavrilov's lack of acknowledgement. Could it be jealousy? Sincerely, Jack Hoyer...
hi you all, ... I heard Richter three times. the last concert i visited was in Germany,he played Szymanowski sonata and Brahms variations and the second sonata...
Dear Mort, That Rasmussen's Richter biography will be published in English is inevitable. If Gyldendal can't get sold the English rights, I know a ready,able...
Dear Lou, Gavrilov has a superior playing technique and must have considerable musical talent to reach what he has reached as pianist. His life has not been...
Dear Jack, ... I fully agree with that. Don't ask me the definition of a genius, but for me Richter was one, Gavrilov is 'only' a great pianist and musician. ...
Curiously, the foreword of the unabridged Richter's notebooks, published by the Pushkin Museum in 2007, includes the following lines on Gavrilov: 'Certainly,...
There was a brief interview with Gavrilov in Gramophone years ago in which Gavrilov talked about his problems with the "authorities" and claimed Richter...
Dear Pete, Thanks for your beautiful "report", making one one to envy. You write: "When you look at how much repertoire he turned over in the space of a year,...
I'd rather see this as healthy envy and could on the other hand imagine that Gavrilov was not able to figure out why he (Gavrilov) with the perfect technical...
Yes, this personal attack against Gavrilov in Khitruk's preface is curious but also inappropriate. OK, if this had been citing Richter, but this is not the...
Antti, To me Richter's technical or virtuosic facility was incredible, but that by itself didn't make him an artist, or make his playing art. He had tremendous...
