You have an amazing archive, Yuri.

Je trouve cette musique fascinante. Elle est pour moi à l'image de la vie. Non le long fleuve tranquille d'une mélodie avec de jolies paquerettes colorées sur la berge, mais ce flot complexe qui nous submerge parfois et nous fait perdre le cap, pour nous réserver ensuite des périodes inattendues de clarté, de calme et d'espoir. Sviatoslav Richter fait merveille dans ce répertoire qui allie la force des passages les plus impétueux et des moments d'une grande finesse. Ma gratitude à vous deux, Karol et Sviatoslav !

Wow!I have heard Richter play this sonata many times but this is surely the best of all.This recital (with the Brahms) is one of his best recitals.

Que faites-vous pour lui donner la place qui lui revient?

Richter's advocacy is a form of incarnation . Phenomenal.

Without melody in its usual sense, this extremely emotionally intense work might sound overbearing to some listeners, however, I am not counted among them. "Colossal" is truer in describing this music's effect. Its profundity is certainly extant, but confusion is also conjured - a door of complexity has opened to the listener albeit while tracing motives and form. Richter does not hold back, I feel he reveled in Szymanowski's music. Most pianists don't have the technical wherewithal to keep from bogging. For some listeners, this piece will be sublime - ever drawing, almost mystically, to further hearings.

Grandiose dans le. Triple concerto .

[@rachguy]

The only problem for me with this piece is that it's too obscure to understand fully in a short time - so obscure that i eventually get 'almost' tired of it, which disturbs a full and complete appreciation...

[@aramzulumyan6380]

He is not tragic. Dramatic, so enlightened and easygoing. Still so complicated and simpleminded. I can't even call him genious but absolutely tier 1 composer.

Holy shit

Richter always turns when we put him somewhere.
