Time stands still
Scriabinmahler | UK | 03/10/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"
These are the typical time-standing-still performances by Richter at the hight of his artistic maturity. He creates the undescribable aura around every piece he plays here. If you think of cough-infested earlier BBC Legend Schubert CD, don't worry. Usually critical British audience are very quiet and spell-bound throughout, there's a still one idiot who manages to cough in a magical moment in Schumann's Fantasiestuck though. Debussy's Image is miraculously subtle.



Although recorded stereo in 1979(Am Sonata)&69, sound quality is poor (as good as Richter's Melodiya live recordings from the same period), but that should not be the reason to avoid the performances of such inspiration and imagination."
