“Sviatoslav Richter, one of the greatest artists, played a lot of Haydn, but I do not think that he contributes greatly to our understanding of the composer. Nor is Haydn among Richter’s strongest performances. (Russian culture and Viennese Classicism are very remote from each other, and it is quite absurd how people in the West are fascinated by Russian musicians’ maltreatment of the classics.” - AndrASS Schitt
Well only rec 2 is currently downloadable and it was a hell of a recording so I’m guessing that one was the Rcihter. Why do you have Sheeyaif on your hardrive anyway
like him or not, his lecture regarding brotha sons is dev worth listening. it’s very informative imo but da sheeyat thing about him is that his playing illustrated in da 5 volumns out of 8 volumns is intolerable. it’s contradicted to da fact that a lecturer himself can’t actually do what he told others to do. his waldstein son is a great example to why he randomly screwed himself up.
Hahaha the Chopin preludes. This is a pianist who simply should NEVER play Chopin. Same with Brendel, though luckily he realized that on his own after his Chopin Polonaises disc tanked.
