Sviatoslav Richter - Richter Plays Liszt
Review by Miguel González
Sviatoslav Richter's rendition of Franz Liszt's works in the album Richter Plays Liszt is a masterful display of technical virtuosity and emotional depth. The album showcases Richter's exceptional piano skills and his ability to bring out the nuances and complexities of Liszt's music.
The album includes some of Liszt's most well-known works, such as the "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2," "Liebestraum No. 3," and "La Campanella." Richter's interpretation of these pieces is nothing short of breathtaking, with his fingers gliding effortlessly over the keys and his playing conveying a range of emotions, from fiery passion to serene tranquility.
Richter's performance of the lesser-known pieces on the album is equally impressive, with his playing bringing out the intricate details and subtle textures of Liszt's compositions. The album is a testament to Richter's mastery of the piano and his deep understanding of Liszt's music.
