COMPLETE PRESENTATION: LOOK THE FIRST PINNED COMMENT.

(...) Another of the concerts dedicated to the anniversary was given at the very close of the festival by Sviatoslav Richter. It was his third appearance at Prague Spring, and the public's expectations of an extraordinary night were fully justified. Throngs of admirers flooded the Smetana Hall on 1st June, 1956, notwithstanding the fact that the programme, consisting exclusively of Mozart's piano works, had been generally regarded as rather unrewarding for the performer and lacking in attractiveness, audience-wise. Richter was then 42 and his firmly set robust style of piano playing was commonly considered to be far removed from Mozart's music. The delicate structure of Mozart' sonatas seemed somehow ill-suited for Richter's big hands with their enormous span. Actually, up till then Mozart had been a rare item indeed in Richter's repertoire. Thus to Sviatoslav Richter, too, the Mozart anniversary season provided an impulse for testing a new facet of his art: one which did not require of him to put into play all of the means that were at his disposal, but rather to limit their scope to a degree corresponding with the subtle nature of rococo music.

In his 1956 Prague Spring concert, Richter played four piano works by Mozart; the Sonata No. 8 in A minor, K 310; the Allegro and Andante No. 14, K 533; the Rondo No. 8 in F major, K 494; and the Sonata No. 15 in C major, K 545. The mid-1950s saw the onset of historicism in the approach to interpreting Mozart's piano output, calling for high speeds, stern terraced dynamics with sharp contrasts, and the harpsichord touch. Richter would have none of this. Instead, he chose moderate speeds, a lower overall dynamic level which assigned a chamber style to his reading, and a lighter sound pattern. Within this framework, though, he took every opportunity offered him by the modern piano and present-day musical feeling. On the whole, Richter's Mozart is unostentatiously melancholic rather than playful and naively joyous as would have been dictated by the established rococo norms. Richter's recording of Mozart are a rare commodity. The one he made in Prague is invaluable for its priceless documentary value coupled with that very special air of artistic individuality it exudes. It is described most fittingly by the words with which one of Ferenc Liszt's female admirers eulogized his play: Try it after him and nothing will remain; the will have vanished.
