Richter's a great pianist. One of the best. However, almost all of his recordings be it live or in the studio all come in bad quality and sound very thin and dry. But even through the thin and dry quality, Richter still manages to express colour, tone. Simply magic!

he looks like a bad guy out of a movie..hahaha, but the music is glorious though.

Of course Russian pianists can play French (Spanish) music! Alborado is a virtuoso piece, and Richter plays it with the stunning clarity that we expect from him, when he was in his prime...as in this recording. Richter uses very little sustaining pedal, and manages to keep the total architecture of Alborado intact, and very French!

Yes, some amazingly thuggish grimaces and some great playing. I have to say that for me, Lipatti's fabulous range of colour & buoyancy conveys a greater sense of FUN. Gracioso means 'jester' after all...

Je suis d'accord avec bisbigliandosciolto. Cette interpr
étation de Richter est impressionnante, incontestablement, mais je préfère celle de Lipatti, moins "torturée", d'une délicatesse plus élégante, plus riante.

Si l'on en croit Wiki, le bouffon de cete aubade serait "un homme d'
âge mûr usant d'artifice pour conquérir le coeur d'une jeune femme". Clown donc si l'on veut, mais clown triste, tragique même. L'interprétation de Richter apparaît donc fidèle à cet esprit de l'oeuvre et en restitue la profondeur.

Ravel is truly the ... ( 2 months ago by PianoMan0489)
Ravel is truly the best composer of piano music. He seems to combine the emotion of Chopin, the virtuosity of Liszt, and the innovativeness of Debussy. To this day I feel his music speeks volumes of depth beyond even the music of Shoenberg and Messiaen.

You know, I think I agree with you! Just every now and then, when I get that sensation of pain while listening to Debussy, I feel like he's my favorite... but I never cease to be amazed by Maurice Ravel! Only time will tell who ends up stealing my heart for good ;)

err i dun quite agree, i feel that Debussy's pieces are of more mysterious nature than Ravel. Ravel is easier to read.
Well, I would ... ( 2 months ago by PianoMan0489)
Well, I would consider this to be one of Ravel's easier to read "show pieces", while the bulk of his work has much compositional integrity. Just like the "souveniers" by Barber don't contain all the interest of his other works. And I agree, Debussy is more mysterious, but he lacks one thing: forte

Richter is amazing.......but for this particular piece I like DInu Lipatti better....
I'm sorry but music ... ( 2 weeks ago by NOSEhow2LIV)
I'm sorry but music is not dependent on study with the composer,who may not even be a very good teacher.Ravel must hav been a dreadful teacher if the example of Perlemuter is given:fumbling,confused,shallow,garish.. Must we not play any music which we've not studied with its composer?
Surely one of the joys of different styles is in finding the fresh & unpredjudiced viewpoint of"exotic"artits; Alicia in Brahms,Cherkassky in Stockhausen(!),Gieseking in Rachmaninoff...Better no straitjackets!
This is not quite ... ( 2 weeks ago by NOSEhow2LIV)
This is not quite the best Richter could do with this piece,fine tho it is in some ways. It seems a bit studio-bound & dry. His live recording from Prague,(on a typically hilariously faulty Petrof)has,for my ears far more sparkle & verve.Richter is, in any case fartoo large a subject to dismiss, or to idolise.He was very uneven in quality,(sublime to ridiculous),and very contradictory in utterance,musical & verbal.

God is great and Richter is his prophet
