Scriabin’s 2nd and 3rd piano sonatas had been one of my favorites for a long time. I almost believe she must hear how Scriabin plays when she is younger if she born before Scriabin passed away.
А это же вы играли концерт Брамса 14-го марта? Я помню. Я там была и даже видела на лестнице Елену Рудольфовну. Поздоровалась, а она мне улыбнулась) Легендарная женщина, я бы мечтала с ней познакомиться. Она помнит живых Нейгаузов и, к моему восторгу, сама крутая пианистка. Так мало её записей в интернете( Шопен хорош, да. Я нашла фантазию f-moll и сонату h-moll (одно из самых красивых largo). Скрябин почти только тут. Я и не ждала найти сонаты. И соната Листа h-moll у неё уникальная. Я вообще эту сонату не люблю - кажется громоздкой. А у Елены Рудольфовны она красивая: фактура этажами, форма ясная и слышно, что сочинена она вообще-то хорошо.
@Olaf Zuberbuehler I wrote to Pavel Artemiev that I've heard him playing Brahms' 2nd concerto at m-me Richter's students' recital on 14th of March. I've met Elena Richter there and said "Hello" and she smiled to me. A legendary woman, I would dream to meet her. She remembers the living Heinrich and Stanislav Neuhaus and, to my delight, is a tough pianist herself. There are so few of her recordings on the Internet (Chopin is good, yes. I found a fantasy in f minor and a sonata in b minor (one of the most beautiful largo). Scriabin is almost only here. I did not expect to find sonatas. And her Liszt's sonata in b is unique. In general, I don't like this sonata - it seems cumbersome, but Elena Richter has a beautiful one: the texture is divided to floors, the form is clear and you can hear that it is generally composed well.
I really love the warm sound and structural clarity of this lady. I lack some imagination from her, but she's calm and pleasing to listen to. And my instincts proved right - this is a great 3rd Sonata!
I sometimes don't appreciate Scriabin's music because people often play his music in manic way but this is so musical and beautifully structured, lovely recording.
Knowing that such set exists gives me some kind of extra push in my musical live. The evolution of Scriabin's personal style through the sonatas makes the listening a whole unique experience which I don't even want to put into words
Thank you for this glorious recording. She really has a romantic spirit. The first movement of No. 2 has this intimate vibe and an inward quality that I’ve always wanted to hear.
No. 2 1st mvt. Is really great, if you want to learn the piece, its crisp and clear and one can hear every note, but imo it kind off lacks a living spirit, which is essential for this wounderful and dreamlike sonata
Very good. But the 3. Sonata played by Gould ( First movement slower than Richter and Scriabin himself) pleases my ears more. But that's only my opinion. If one got the time listen here ua-cam.com/video/192QwBLWXaU/v-deo.html
Perhaps you could explain it to her. She is only an Honoured Artist of Russia and Professor of Pianoforte at Moscow Conservatoire, where Scriabin himself studied and was Professor of Pianoforte. And you, well... you're not. You might well deserve better, but... you're just... not.
She simply lacks the ability to connect with the universe, not because she's inferior, but due to the strict nature of her training in the USSR piano school. Such rigorous training focuses solely on technical proficiency rather than exploring deeper connections with music and the universe. An anekdote: Yesterday, I had the opportunity to perform virtuoso piano improvisations on the Laterna Magica for the light festival in Ghent. After the performance, a friend of my Russian girlfriend compared me to Matsuev (what an insult!) and suggested I enter competitions to gain fame. I politely explained that music isn't about competitions for me. Despite my repeated refusals, she persisted in her opinion. Eventually, after saying no seven times, I decided to excuse myself and retreat to my dressing room. I have only one student, Sehun Kim, and our lessons are conducted online, although he did attend a masterclass with me in Belgium. After a rather candid critique of his Chopin ballade, he was understandably annoyed. However, upon hearing my performance of Schumann, he expressed a strong desire for me to teach him, believing me to be exceptional. Despite my health challenges, which often leave me feeling overwhelmed, I pour all my thoughts, emotions, and energy into our lessons. Strangely, it seems that even my physical ailments are somehow being transferred, adding to the mystery of our connection.
Forgive me, I am neither able nor qualified to argue against your undoubted musical achievements maestro Demarey, even if they are unrecognized by the Government of the Russian Federation. But I am not comfortable that anyone could be qualified to judge the USSR/Russian piano school who was not themselves a product of it, and as such I must assert as an external observer that the Russian piano school, as the descendant of the Great Petersburg School of Music, does not focus solely on technical proficiency and discipline, but apparently is merely _obliged_ to do so in the service of a political narrative of Russian musical excellence, and of the artistic superiority of Russia over the decadent West. I believe that often, but not always, students of the Russian piano school self-evidently place the technical proficiency and discipline with which they are indoctrinated, conscientiously at the service of a deeper musical understanding of composers' universal intentions. I would also assert that today as historically, the USSR/Russian piano school _tacitly_ serves deeper connections with music and the universe, if it does not do so openly as you do, and as Scriabin himself did.

My professor! Her interpretations of Skryabin and Chopin are best for me!

Наталья С Да, играл я! Она правда живой носитель культуры Генриха Густавовича Нейгауза! Носитель уникальной традиции его пианизма!

Nobody plays Scriabin more manically than Scriabin
@@Skryabin204 #NoblerBeings
My absolutely favourite rendition. Thanks so much for posting this here!
Ivo Pogerelich's rendition of the 4th Sonata is most definitely my favorite, but for the rest Elena takes the #1 spot
Wow! Thank you so much for this ADGO
That 6th sonata is so freaking dark, it was a real mystical experience though I wasn't really ready for that, while listening it for the 1st time
Können Sie bitte die Spure jedes Sonaten teilen?
Gefällt mir sehr gut ihr Spielen von Scriabin.
Making Scriabin comfortable, is this a valuable goal ?
ADGO Thanks for uploading her complete Scriabin Sonata recordings. She definitely deserves more attention.
New name to me - one that I certainly won't forget!
Fantastica!
Thank you, ADGO: I hadn't even a hope to find any more Elena Richter's recordings in the internet.
Knowing that such set exists gives me some kind of extra push in my musical live. The evolution of Scriabin's personal style through the sonatas makes the listening a whole unique experience which I don't even want to put into words
The second sonata is majestic, such form and such sound. Oh god what a treasure
so no relation to Stanaslov Richer the greatest pianist from Russia?
Love her. Incredible playing.
Thank you for this glorious recording. She really has a romantic spirit. The first movement of No. 2 has this intimate vibe and an inward quality that I’ve always wanted to hear.
Majestic journey across an extraordinary Scrıabın canvas by a musical master.
I'm grateful to ADGO for letting me know so various moving music.
heard this woman play in 2003 - Beethoven sonata 1 and some prokofiev.
Thankyou so much!
Whoa! This is a find. Magical!
An intensely musical traversal
No. 2 1st mvt. Is really great, if you want to learn the piece, its crisp and clear and one can hear every note, but imo it kind off lacks a living spirit, which is essential for this wounderful and dreamlike sonata
Perfect many thanks
Richter and Scriabin - a great combination! :-)
emilgilels richter daughter?
@@zvezdinki7998 Her father's name is Rudolf Richter. I don't know, who he was...
emilgilels thank you
Игорь Зверев нет. К Святославу Теофиловичу не имеет отношения, хотя учились у Нейгауза оба и она и С.Т.Рихтер.
@@zvezdinki7998 S. Richter was gay, and his "wife" was a lesbian. They had no children in their long partnership.
I have a copy of The Art of Piano Playing by Professor Heinrich Neuhaus.
I should buy one. H. Neuhaus has my favorite recording of Vers La Flamme.
wonderful recording!
Very good. But the 3. Sonata played by Gould ( First movement slower than Richter and Scriabin himself) pleases my ears more. But that's only my opinion. If one got the time listen here ua-cam.com/video/192QwBLWXaU/v-deo.html
I enjoy Maria Lettberg's album but am very happy to discover Richter and her take on these sonatas
How great..
Very decent level.
Not the greatest 8th sonata
1st mvm: very clear, precise interpretation. We hear the different layers.
Потрясающе!
Is she related to Sivatoslav Richter ?
No they're not related.
@@ADGO Thank you.
Thanks for adding track tags!
ADGO, can you upload the sonatas individually? Or tag the
audio file for access to individual pieces and movements?
Hi, it's already tagged in the info section. Cheers
@@ADGO that does not help for downloads
@@inraid I just provide the food, it's up to you to swallow it :)
Good but not genius. She doesn't understand the mysticism of Skriabin.
Perhaps you could explain it to her. She is only an Honoured Artist of Russia and Professor of Pianoforte at Moscow Conservatoire, where Scriabin himself studied and was Professor of Pianoforte. And you, well... you're not. You might well deserve better, but... you're just... not.
