Sviatoslav
Richter on Prokofiev
Here we
publish an integration of a text already published in English in the
Internet: "On Prokofiev", by Sviatoslav Richter http://users.bluecarrots.com/rossik/,
unfortunately today unavailable).
Our text is composed by
a Foreword, a translation in English from the Russian of an episode
missing in the above quoted text, and a set of notes, containing
some personal recollection about Prokofiev, Richter and Neuhaus by the
author Valerij Voskobojnikov. Translation and editing are by Lorenzo
Seno.
We hope that our work
can help the reader in better appreciating and understanding the
Richter's text, which often implicitly refers to circumstances, events
and concepts not so familiar to the western reader.
Here you can also find
the complete Heinrich Neuhaus' discography. Other documents will come
soon.
The voice
and music of Lev Tolstoy
In a separate
page, some interesting documents about the Russian writer.
