Extractions: visitors since October, 16th, 2000 At the end of 1992, immediately after New Year's Day, Sviatoslav Richter was in Rome, coming from Moscow, just after the end of the festival "the evenings of December", founded in 1981 by him and by the manager of the prestigious Puskin Museum, Mrs. Irina Antonova. The festival concerts took place in the Museum rooms, between a selection of paintings and drawings chosen according to a musical and pictorial "theme" . The happy Muscovite audience could in this way appreciate Richter in various ways: as soloist, with chamber groups, as singers accompanist, and even as director. A t 4:30 PM Sviatoslav Richter (above with Valerij Voskobojnikov in Siena, 1992) went to the theater. The audience, composed by many young students, was asked not to bother the performer taking photos during the performance and not to record. At the beginning they were perhaps a little frightened, but soon the audience warmed up becoming enthusiastic with the encore: "Bruyères" by Debussy. The Master confided us that the program had risen in a fairly casual way. But we know him, and we can disagree. The program was a collection of great composers works, too often neglected by the Italian Conservatories, in which he chose in a near to automatic way for an audience of young students. At the end of the concert the Master in his dressing room autographed many of the programs for the young audience. Happy, incredulous expressions, for the unforgettable opportunity in the small southern city. After the concert Paolo Ciardi and I were entertained by the Master, who was with his agent Mrs. Milena Borromeo, at his hotel room.
A Tribute To Sviatoslav Richter the music world mourned the loss of Russian pianist sviatoslav richter, richter was a great pianist. I don t think we even need to qualify that last http://web.singnet.com.sg/~lionelc/richter_tribute.htm
Extractions: Earth-shattering Passion on a Richter Scale This month, Lionel Choi pays tribute to Sviatoslav Richter (1915 - 1997) , one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, who passed away on the 1st August. On August 1st, the music world mourned the loss of Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter, who died of a heart attack in a Moscow hospital. He was 82. Richter was a great pianist. I don't think we even need to qualify that last statement. In a world that is dominated by countless young virtuosos who make better keyboard acrobats than musicians, the passing of Richter certainly marked the tragic end to an era of piano-playing of such a special stature and personality. He had a huge, formidable technique, and it is amazing how he used it to illuminate the musical aspects of the pieces before him, breathing life and passion into every note. Richter was a storyteller, a magician. He had a bold, vivid musical imagination, one that mirrored his profound and deep love for what he did. He spoke in a unique yet sensible and powerfully poetic language, hardly ever resorting to controversy to gain attention. Indeed, each time you hear a Richter record, you just have to sit up and listen. Given the legendary status that he had long acquired, it therefore comes as a surprise that he actually had a fairly late start to his professional piano career.

Extractions: The World's Greatest Pianist Travels With Proust T he wonderful person and superb painter I married when I was very young, Alex Segal, has been telling me since we met about his musical idol, the Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter, and his portrait of Richter has hung for years at the entrance to M arcel P roust ... roup Headquarters. R ichter's artistry is well known throughout the world. The Soviets were so proud of him that he was allowed to tour as much as he desired. He came a few times to the United States, beginning in the early 60's, playing in several cities. Unfortunately, during a tour in the early '70s, his performance was heckled by angry demonstrators protesting certain policies of the Soviet government. This bizarre rudeness so annoyed Richter that he refused to perform in the United States again. W e do have hundreds of records, tapes and CDs available of Richter's work, a treasure, playing of an impeccable, unmannered profundity. This issue of PST has been produced largely while listening to the new Richter Bach CD (Sonate, Toccata, Fantasie, Capriccio, Duette, Italianische Konzert) a rare import on the German Classics Live label; of all composers I know, I find Bach most conducive to thought, and Richter's Bach is strong, for strong thought. I 've always known that Richter has a particular attraction for French culture; for the last 30 years, even under the thumb of the USSR, he has produced an annual summer music festival in Tours, in the rambling, medieval Grange de Mesley. When Richter found this place in 1963, it was used as a storage place for corn grown in the fields of Touraine, and it remains, between the annual events, an agrarian storehouse. Peformers from around the world have played with Richter there to international audiences.

Extractions: Died: 1 August 1997, Moscow Ukrainian pianist Sviatoslav Richter was soon dubbed "notoriously unreliable" - cancelling concerts almost every year (often at he last moment) or changing his whole programme. But there were always inner constraints or health reasons, and ultimately it has not harmed his reputation as one of the world's finest pianists. As a boy, Richter had only sporadic piano lessons, yet a natural, insatiable curiosity about everything to do with music helped him on his way until he began as a repetiteur at the Odessa Opera when he was eighteen. This period endowed him with a knowledge of opera unusual in a pianist and taught him how to make the piano "sing". The same year he began rehearsing the piano literature in earnest, gibing his first public recital - still self-taught - the following year. At twenty-two he entered the Moscow Conservatory, as a pupil of Heinrich Neuhaus, and under the latter's intelligent direction he matured into a professional, without losing his originality.

Extractions: The film about the incomparable Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter is an experience for all, who have been deeply affected by this man's art. Richter was often called "the best pianist in the world" - and not just by the press, but by many leading pianists themselves. This film contains treasures of archival footage of Richter in recitals, his own recollections of his long and fascinating life and the on-camera interviews given just before his death. The film is very well-made, balancing as it does Richter's voice-over narration with historical footage of many events in the Soviet Union - among them, Stalin's funeral. It is incredible to follow the life of one human being, who rises to world prominence out of the circumstances, which made his very survival questionable and to sense in all of it the Guidance of a Higher Power. The Guidance, which is available to

Extractions: Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Sviatoslav Richter was a dazzling performer but an intensely private man. Though world famous and revered by classical music lovers everywhere, he guarded himself and his thoughts as carefully as his talent. Fascinated, author and filmmaker Bruno Monsaingeon tried vainly for years to interview the enigmatic pianist. Richter eventually yielded, granting Monsaingeon hours of taped conversation, unlimited access to his diaries and notebooks, and, ultimately, his friendship. This book is the product of that friendship. Richter reveals himself as a man and an artist. Unsentimentally and with his characteristic dry humor and intelligence, the musician describes his poignant childhood and spectacular career, including his tumultuous early days at the Moscow Conservatory and his triumphant 1960 tour of the United States. His laconic recounting of playing in the orchestra at Stalin's surreal, interminable state funeral is riveting. Most important for music lovers, Richter discusses his influences and views on musical interpretation. He describes his encounters with other great Russian performers and composers, including Prokoviev, Shostakovich, Oistrakh, and Gilels. Candid sections from his personal journals offer his sober and unguarded impressions of dozens of performances and recordingsboth his own and those of other musicians.
Extractions: Book Description Table of Contents ADDITIONAL REVIEWS: "Few in the 20th century loomed so tall artistically but lived more eccentrically than the late Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter. . . . Was there ever a more singular musician?. . . In what initially appears to be a mere appendix of the book, there is the most insightful, engaging part of all: excerpts from Richter's personal notebooks. . . . This is the heart of music-making and an artistic life. To understand [Richter] is to better understand all of those individualists of the keyboard."David Patrick Stearns, The Philadelphia Inquirer "[In this well-made book] . . . Richter appears part monk, part showman, part unworldly, part shrewd. . . . Richter's notebooks, reproduced in the second half of the book, slag off, with gusto, other musicians, recordings, conductors, and, to be fair, himself."Richard Coles, Times Literary Supplement "Enlivened throughout by Richter's intelligence and his eccentric humor, particularly in the last section, a diary where he has made notes on the music he is listening to. . . . Characteristically, his sternest criticisms are reserved for his own recordings."

John L. Grant said: This recording changed my conception of what is possible on the piano with Bach, and changed my view of Bach. Although the recording is not well engineered, the playing is breathtaking, astonishing, incomparable. Richter's interpretation of the Well-Tempered is equalled, here and there in small degrees by other pianists, but as a whole, no other recorded interepretation comes even close to Richter's mastery of the instrument and the music. Bertram Cruikshank said: The echoing sound of this recording is further exacerbated by the fact that it was not well-engineered and it was most likely recorded in a room with poor acoustics. Also, the piano which he plays has an irritating "twanging" sound to it. Victor Gane said: The work itself conbined with the interpretation makes it to be among my Bach's favorites. It is definitively a very intimate music that requires consentration and analysis. Unfortunatelly the quality of the recording is not the best, fact that can really obset any lover of Richter's playing (i.e. you can barely hear the basses). This is a must buy for anybody who appreciates both Bach and Richter.
