Genie.Gott sei Dank, dass er mit uns es geteilt hat, und dass manche von uns es schätzen können.

[timward]

Terrific performance of what I think is the greatest of the early Beethoven sonatas.

No. 7 Op 10, No 3 was, oddly enough, the Beethoven sonata that got me hooked on Beethoven as a youngster.

Самое лучшее исполнение этой сонаты которое я когда-либо слышал. Где-то разве что искры не летят из под клавиш, а где-то сама нежность в обращении с роялем. Широчайший диапазон при невероятном исполнительском мастерстве. И сколько бы времени не прошло, сколько бы новых исполнителей не появлялось, Рихтер - как яркий бриллиант во все времена!

Richter, as I recall, also performed this sonata in 1960 at Carnegie Hall. I used a recording of that performance and the Gould recording to help prepare my own performance of this work as a music student many years ago. I had the notes prepared for that first movement but listening to the Gould recording caused me to increase the tempo...I got through it but included some notes not composed by Beethoven. Still, always better to be influenced by the greats. The slow movement I played in a masterclass in front of a world famous musician, I was intimidated by the occasion and gave a subdued performance. So, this work has many memories for me.

Interpretazione straordinaria!!! Richter emoziona sempre. In Beethoven è Quegli accordi strappati del secondo movimento....drammatici all'inverosimile.
E la sinistra straordinaria, nel primo movimento, che crea quasi uno suing contemporaneo, come avviene iuna delle ultime sonate.
E il mare calmo, o a volte imbronciato, dell'ultimo movimento.
Una meraviglia di sonata e di interpretazione.
Qui c'è tanto colore, che non ho trovato in altre esecuzioni.

Wonderful performance of this early great sonata. Richter reaches sublimity in the slow movement.
