Hit: 5 Stars
When Richter first arrived on the musical scene in the West, he went on a whirlwind tour of America, including numerous concerts at Carnegie Hall. This recording is part of that well-anticipated tour. Power, subtlety, angst are all present here. Richter really understood the heart of the pieces he played, and it shows from the very few opening bars of the first movement. There are some passages which are truly oustanding, but I dont have a score with me to point them out. It's just that you feel truly at ease when you listen to this CD that a master (Richter) is truly playing another master's (Brahms') composition.
Brahms: Concerto No.2/Beethoven: Sonata No.23 Poster
Richter was one of the those great virtuoso egomaniac genius types who was so insecure that he practiced for something like 10 hours a day, even before a scheduled performance. But it wasn't just getting the notes right that he was after. He was looking for the way to somehow get an entire work "into his hands," and trying to figure out the relationships between all of its different parts. That's why his performances--even the very slow one--have such an inevitable sounding organic unity. This performance isn't one of the very slow ones, but it does have that sense of urgency and spontaneity, as though Richter and Leinsdorf were composing as they play. It's one of the great recordings. --David HurwitzClassical Music CDs
