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 recordings--both his own and those of other musicians. This volume offers readers the sizable pleasure of lingering in the thoughts and words of one of the most important pianists of the twentieth century. Unlike many other star performers, Richter was also an intellectual who had interesting things to say, particularly about the musician's proper role as interpreter of the composer's art. This alone makes the book worth reading. Sviatoslav Richter belongs on the shelves of everyone with a classical music collection and will also appeal to lovers of autobiography and admirers of Russian musical culture. worldcatorg/search We would like to show you a description here but the site wont allow us 1987; Yuri Borsov Por el camino de Richter Barcelona Ed Acantilado 2015 Lebrecht CD of the Week - The Music Scene March 3 2014 Mieczyslaw Weinberg/Kremerata Baltica (ECM) **** Living in the shadow of his close friend and neighbour Dmitri Shostakovich the Polish refugee was Herbert von Karajan - Wikipedia Herbert von Karajan (German pronunciation: [hbt fn kaajan]; born Heribert Ritter von Karajan; 5 April 1908 16 July 1989) was an Austrian conductor Anne Carlini - Exclusive Magazine - CD Reviews ExclusiveMagazinecom is an Online Entertainment Magazine for all your Music Movies Clubs Books Games and Contests and can also be found at AnneCarlinicom
