Music reviews of Schumann: Piano Concerto / Sviatoslav Richter
Music Review: 10/7
Rating: 5 Stars
It's my favorite Schumann Cd. I Love the way Ritcher played the works. Maybe the best played Waldszenen ever, but it's in mono. Rest of the Cd is in Stereo. So the sound is not at top at today standar. A Norwegian classical music lovers. So there you have my opinion for my point to this recordings. Very enjoyable. Recommend it strongly for all Richters fans. A must have!
Description of Schumann: Piano Concerto / Sviatoslav Richter
If you want to judge a pianist's versatility, listen to his or her recording of the Schumann Piano Concerto. It requires virtually everything a pianist should have to offer: poetry, virtuosity, expansive expression alternating with poised restraint. What a glorious test piece this is. Richter, who was famous for his Schumann playing, passes every test here. His meltingly beautiful delivery of Schumann's melodies touches the heart, and his execution of the most difficult passages is so smooth and effortless that it never calls a bit of attention to itself. In this piece and the Introduction and Allegro, the excellent orchestra also covers itself with glory. The solo pieces are no less wonderful. The way Richter plays the difficult Toccata is almost scary in its combination of power and velocity. The Forest Scenes is a slightly older recording (1956) than the others (1958), but it still sounds lovely. Catch Richter's whirlwind playing of "Traumes-Wirren" and you'll understand right away why other pianists had such respect for his technique. Listen to his "Prophet Bird" and he'll touch your heart. --Leslie GerberGeneral CDs
