I love that piece! - Chris from Lafayette 09:27:54 10/06/20 (9)

I heard it Live with SFO/Thibaudet and didn't get it at all, seemed like the kind of Liszt that is caricatured - jdaniel@jps.net 15:17:47 10/06/20 (5)

Hint: it's just a theme and variations [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 16:15:52 10/06/20 (4)

Your point? : ) It still sounded like bombastic, empty rhetoric to me. All downhill from the Dies Irae theme - jdaniel@jps.net 16:43:32 10/06/20 (3)

rach 2 has a near definitive recording (IMO) - DrChaos 23:50:08 10/04/20 (19)

another good Rach 2nd is Earl Wild - oldvinyl 10:13:14 10/05/20 (1)

I don't even like the Richter - Analog Scott 07:36:40 10/05/20 (9)

For me, it's no so much erratic as imaginative - de gustibus and all that! [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 10:08:33 10/05/20 (8)

Perhaps, but I deal with enough "stop and go" on the way home. : ) - jdaniel@jps.net 18:10:51 10/06/20 (0)

I know it's different but couldn't we call Lang Lang's Bach "imaginitive?" - Analog Scott 11:25:24 10/05/20 (1)

It's a personal judgement - you can always say that. . . - Chris from Lafayette 12:18:49 10/05/20 (0)

I appreciate your enthusiasm but Richter's performance was a bit too fussy for my tastes, IIRC - jdaniel@jps.net 07:11:51 10/05/20 (5)
