It is impossible to talk about Sviatoslav Richter and his mastery of the piano
in normal terms of speech. Each time an article on him comes out, it is
liberally dotted with superlatives, reminiscent of an ecclesiastical way of
speech fathered by the church and which now seems to be going out of fashion.
Both critics and concert-goers associate Richters name with expressions of
wonder and enthusiasm. It would therefore seem that Richter appeals to the soul
of his listeners rather than to their intellect. The present release features
Grieg’s Lyryske Stikke and Debussy’s Six Preludes, recorded live
in Athens, Kozani, and Cosenza.
