SHOSTAKOVICH D. 24 PRELUDES AND FUGUES Op.87, CHOPIN F. ETUDES Op.10, ETUDES Op.25 / S.Richter piano (remastered studio mono 1956, remastered live mono 1956)
The second CD of Richter' s Prague recordings also contains hitherto unreleased recordings, a selection from two series of Chopin' s Etudes (Op. 10 and Op. 25), together with Polonaise-Fantaisie, Op. 61. It is a live recording from a concert at Prague' s Rudolfinum in February 1960. In his Etudes, Chopin combines the highest and most diverse technical requirements with a weighty musical content. Richter is among those paramount interpreters whose bravado technical performance of a work is crowned with ingenious musicality. Shostakovich completed the cycle 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87, intended as a modern-day counterpart to Bach' s The Well Tempered Piano, in 1951. The Preludes and Fugues are the composer' s - and in this recording also the interpreter' s - creative celebration of the inexhaustible source of primary invention. We should point out that the presented recording of a selection from the cycle originated only five years after Shostakovich had finished the work.
