Music reviews of Sviatoslav Richter: The Master, Bach
Music Review: Kind spirits and coronets!
Rating: 5 Stars
It seems quite ironic that one of the main virtues that featured Sviatoslav Richter as pianist, resided in the fact U.R.S.S. ` cultural isolation respect the Western Hemisphere, due froze practically preserved missing visions of the seminal seed of the dying musical Romanticism.
However, something inside the mind and soul of this legendary interpreter began to grow and expand by itself. He conjugated the best of both worlds (his birthplace and his genealogical origins) , these circumstances blended, permeated, consolidated and affianced his impressive musical landscapes and the way he got the coveted approach around every little score he played.
That's why his sound may result cosmopolitan or unfaithfully bounded to any specific style. For some purists this may be a scandal, but for others this flexibility may be the most praised device to create atmospheres so dissimilar (Debussy's pianissimos, Schumann's fevered poetry, Dvorak's extraordinary expressiveness or Prokoviev's hammering staccatos).
But this cultural isolation in good part, allowed him to create and explore - like Nikolayeva or Yudina did it - new and vast territories of the master Bach.
He is part of the legend. Don't miss this album.
Description of Sviatoslav Richter: The Master, Bach
Sviatoslav Richter is widely regarded as one of the finest pianists of the twentieth century. With a career that began in Soviet Russia in the 1930s, listeners in the West had their first opportunity to hear him through recordings made in the 1950s, and his reputation among classical fans grew quickly. Richter's approach to music is best illustrated by the enormous range of his repertoire. In recital and on recordings he played everything from Bach to Stravinsky to George Gershwin as well as championing unknown or unpopular works he thought deserved the public's attention. For the first time Philips and Decca recordings are brought together for a new definitive mid-price Richter series. Sviatoslav Richter died in 1997 - the year 2007 marks the 10th anniversary of his death.General CDs
