Georg Friedrich Händel - The Keyboard Suites + Presentation (reference recording : Sviatoslav Richter)

Ce fut d’abord une présence indécise, mystérieuse, dont ne rendaient que vaguement compte des enregistrements au son médiocre en provenance de Russie. Mais au fur et à mesure que s’accumulèrent ses enregistrements dont un éblouissant disque Schumann de Prague et une version titanesque des ‘’Tableaux d’une exposition’’ de Moussorgski en concert à Sofia, l’évidence s’imposa et les amateurs de piano acquirent très vite à l’Ouest la conviction que Sviatoslav Richter (1915-1997) était l’un des grands pianistes de son temps ou de quelque époque que ce soit.

Scriabin - Deux danses op.73 - Richter

Alexander Scriabin

Deux danses op.73

n°1 Guirlandes
n°2 Flammes sombres

Sviatoslav Richter
Live recording, Seesen, 6.XI.1992

Teenagers often say they could “just die” when acne takes over their faces, but in Scriabin’s case this is precisely what happened. The Russian composer-pianist made his last public appearance in St Petersburg on April 2, 1915. Just a few days later he noticed a pimple on his upper lip. On April 7 the furuncle was infected and Scriabin was bedridden and febrile. By the 11th, well-wishers crowded the staircase of his flat, for two types of blood poisoning had set in. Scriabin died a few days later, with his manuscript containing sketches for the Misteriya open on the piano. [+]
