https://yadi.sk/d/EruDSJTGxPY4hA

"Is an homemade recording, with 2 big troubles in the final movement of op 14.2 and in the first movement of op 22. But I think this concert very great, and then I postet it anyways.

Montalto Dora is a little village near Ivrea, in north of Italy no so far from Torino. The theatre where took place the concert is a very poor cinema, but the Richter's performance was extremly better then 2 days later in the luxury concert hall Lingotto in Torino.

The program:

1 sonata n8 op12 patetica

2 sonata n9 op 14.1

3 sonata n10 op 14.2

4 sonata n11 op 22

5 sonata n 12 op 26 funeral march

"

While D. in Italy had offered this at a point in other e-print sources:

"Sorry to say those performances from the Italian tours in 1994 weren't

officially recorded . And sorry for my , as well known , horrible English : it's

hard to get a " review " by me , at least in English . I attended the " five

Beethoven' sonatas " concerts in Florence ( where the Maestro had a collapse due

to the very hot temperature in the theatre but , after a long intermission ,

played also the second part of the recital ) , in Montalto Dora and Turin . Well

, the Patйthique was not at the level of those we know from earlier recordings :

the Maestro had to " warm-up " ( I noticed almost all the pianists of a certain

age have difficulties at the beginning of a concert , probably because

phisiologic decline ) and played the Sonatas op. 14 / 1 and 14 / 2 much better .

The same thing happened also in Montalto Dora and Turin .

I would like to add a little anecdote : after Florence , Richter had to take a

rest and consequently to cancel the recital in Chioggia with the same programme

. Chioggia is a rather small town near Venice ( it is called " the little Venice

" ) that the Maestro loved ( there is a shot on the film " the Enigma " that

shows Richter wearing blue-jeans sitting astride his chair with the sea at the

back window . That shot was taken in his hotel room in Chioggia ) . There was a

very little concert society there : three persons in all , young and not rich

people . They had spent a lot for the advertisements , the playbills and so on .

When the Richter's assistant phoned them to announce the cancellation , they

felt in despair . But Richter had promised to play there and when he was back to

Italy next December he re-phoned them : " I would like to play there " . The

three fellows felt very embarassed : " Maestro , we have no money , very sorry ,

we must renounce " . " Money is not a problem , I want to play in Chioggia : I

will play for free " . And the recital took place ."

This is one from that series.

Enjoy!

Andrew Clements

The Guardian, 7/11/2012

This is an invaluable record of an exceptional recital Sviatoslav Richter gave at the Royal Festival Hall in London in June 1975. I doubt that any of us who were lucky enough to be there will ever forget the experience. After 37 years, this CD, taken from the BBC's recording of the concert, conveys the electricity of the occasion and the power of Richter's playing more vividly than anyone might have dared hope.

Richter's musical presence and the sharply focused energy of his playing course through every bar of the all-Beethoven programme. The two great sonatas that frame it may date from opposite ends of Beethoven's composing life, but Richter's account of the C major Op 2 No 3 seems to contain within it the germ of what developed 24 years later into the unparalleled scope of the Hammerklavier Sonata, Op 106, though the titanic scale of the playing is always balanced against moments of svelte beauty and breathtaking technical crispness.

After three of the Bagatelles from Op 126, each one pushed to the expressive limits of what its small frame can contain, Richter launches into the Hammerklavier – the first chord, I remember, was played almost before he was settled on the piano stool – and the tension of the first movement is remorselessly ratcheted up. After it, the scherzo is an almost throwaway relaxation and the slow movement a gorgeously expansive hymn. The finale when it arrives, fugue and all, is simply immense in its grasp of the musical complexity – every voice in the fugue is brilliantly characterised, the shape of the whole thrillingly conveyed.

Extraordinarily, Richter's encore in the recital was a repeat of that finale, presumably because he felt one passage in it had been muddled the first time around. The disc doesn't have space for the encore, and the whole sonata is, I'm pretty sure, presented here just as it was at the Festival Hall. If any single disc is going convince sceptics of why so many of us regard Richter as the greatest pianist of the second half of the 20th century, then it's this extraordinary 80 minutes of music-making.

Рихтер в Японии.

Возможно, весна 1984 г.

I was trying to attend all Richter's concerts at that time, He was one of the greats. It was very exciting. To me he was god-like. Whatever he was playing, I accepted it. I didn't care whether his interpretations satisfied some conventional ideas or not. Actually, the less they were so, the more interesting they sounded to me. Then I saw it more distinctly how freedom of artistic expression could create work of genious in itself, unrelated to some long established boring traditional practices. Listening to Richter was like watching Mont Blanc emerging from the clouds in the sky. Then, after Richter would finish playing, the clouds would seal the view up again, and we saw only some hillls around.
