Sviatoslav Richter (piano)About
Richter is far more interested in the pre-Beethoven aspects of Haydn than in the pre-Schubert ones. The use of the terms “pre-Beethoven” and “pre-Schubert” does not signify that such aspects are exclusive to these composers, merely that we are used to identifying them thus, despite the fact that they are the foundations of the Viennese classical period. Richter has rarely performed Schubert since 1986 – although his interpretation of the Sonata in G major astounds and stupifies those who hear it – and equally rarely performs Mozart; only the Fantasia K475, the Sonata K457 and the Sonata K533/494. His interpretation of the drama of the Fantasia and the Sonata K457 draws parallels with the darkest moments in Don Giovanni.
Live in Jouques (France) 1992 and Zug (Switzerland) 1991
