Interesting.  Grabbed this used lp for 3 bones:



Haydn Sonata in E Major, Hob. XVI, No. 22
Schumann Two Novelettes, Op.21
deFalla Danse Rituelle du Feu from "El Amor Brujo"
Chopin Ballade in G Minor
Prokofiev Sonata No. 7 in B Flat Major, Op. 83

Well, I was digging around trying to find the recording date of this recital because the jacket does not have a date at all.  Look what I found:

Also, can anyone here help me date this recital?  I want to go through my Richter lps and put a note in with each that has the recording dates and hoping you folks could help. :)

Not sure of the date, Bill, but http://www.trovar.com/str/discs/index.html should have all the info you need.

Was it Spoleto, 14 July 1967?

Just read in the liner notes to the Originals issue of Richter's Rach 2 that he recorded the Rach 4. They say it's an early reccording. Is that true? Or is it a missprint?

According to Trovar:

QuoteConcertos no. 3 and no. 4
◦were never recorded by Richter

AFAIK Richter never recorded neither the Rach 3 nor Rach 4.  And apparently he also never played them, at least in public performances.

According to Trovar:

Yeah, Trovar has it right. And Monsaingeon's Notebooks confirms it. Richter never performed the Rach 4 in concert.


Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Now listening to a BBC program that discusses, among other things, the new book about Sviatoslav Richter.

It can be heard here during the next 7 days: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00xmv0q

The Richter portion begins at 13:40

Now:


Angel S 35679 (LP)
London, 1 - 5 Aug 1961

On a bummer note, I am chucking two of my DG Richter platters because the pops and hisses which are at a level even too much for me.  They were only $1 a piece when I nabbed them, so it was worth the try.

FWIW, if you ever plan to get a turntable to connect to your computer to digitize your LPs, you'd be able to clean up the sound a lot.

I might have guessed, as it sounds overfiltered.

The UTube is always a bad sound sampler. In the CD the sound is actually much better (for a live 1949, obviously).
