    Every little nuance of beauty, spirit, emotion, humour, delicacy, elegance, solidity is brought to life in this extraordinary singing, dancing performance. Each time I hear it, it takes me by surprise such is the freshness and authenticity of approach as if it is coming directly from the composer in the act of creation.

    Just an amazing performance - virtuosic without ostentation and covering a wide emotional and sonic range without losing sight of the "Papillons". A truly poetic performance.

    A wonderfully alive and vividly characterized performance. Richter at his best.

    Richer has captured he very sense of the 'papillons', insipred by the German romantic poetry. He renders is with a detailed poetic sense which makes this recording a masterwork.

      @Daniel Diao yeah no worries, I'm learning the piece and it was always tiresome to look for each of them. I figured that just writing the time stamps once would make my life easier in the long run.

    I always thought Richter is the best story teller and he tells Schumann's story extremely well.

    A transcendent performance. I was assigned these pieces as a child, but I did not understand them or like them. Hearing Richter play them, I see that I was neither technically equipped nor emotionally ready to understand these pieces. It's a pleasure to finally hear what they ought to sound like, and to and to realize after all this time, that they are really quite wonderful.

      +Tom Devine I understand very well. When I was young I thought of "Papillons" as "The Poor Man's Carnaval." How wrong I was, but I didn't know it till I hear GUIOMAR NOVAES perform the work in New York. Richter was a most admirable pianist, of course, and this is most interesting, highly individualistic reading of Schumann's Opus 2, but I suggest you Google "Schumann: Papillons, Guiomar Novaes, YOU TUBE" if you'd like to hear a less eccentric, more affectionate, more authentic rendition. Novaes was in my opinion a good deal closer to Robert Schumann than even his wife Clara. ;-) By the way, did you ever develop sufficient technique to enjoy playing the work, yourself? I hope you did.

    Who else could provide the incredible range of weight of touch...who the vast variety of tone...and most of all who could 'play the silences' in the way that Richter does here? Is this from his Italian tour of 1961...I know he played them then. Grateful thanks to FirstPublicChannel for this utter delight.

    Thank you!!
    and THANK YOU, dear Robert Schumann, for create these little tone worlds...
    finally, SvR for doing work that is worthy of the composers who write......
    His choices are imaginative, sometimes risky, have integrity, they "make sense," musically.
    While his playing is often not necessarily charming or pleasant, but I pretty sure (forgive the presumption) Schumann et al. would be satisfied and even gratified to hear Richter's playing of their works.
    Most often, pianists are content with, even focused on, pleasing their audiences, themselves, and building their careers. They -sometimes- prepare the music and their faces with special makeup and lighting and they design their gestures and expressions to win over the audience....
    Actually it's cool, as long as people have opportunities to listen to great music

    "Pimpilimpausha", en idioma vaso, o euskera, significa "papillon", "mariposa", en castellano, "butterfly". Es una muy hermosa palabra esa del vascuense; al oirla me hace evocar la imagen de una mariposa que vuela de flor en flor.

    ho ascoltato questo brano suonato da Parahia, Richter, Arrau, Sofronitsky, Horszowski, Kempff , Novaes and Demus, ammetto, ovviamente, che io non riuscirò mai a suonare come loro e neppure ad andare loro vicino. inoltre ho apprezzato gli svariati modi e le svariate sensibilità di ognuno di loro nell'affrontare ed interpretare questo bellissimo pezzo di Shumann ma credo che l'interpretazione della Novaes sia in assoluto la migliore, dando ella ci offra una grande gamma di sfumature nei passi ' Piano ' e ' Forte ' senza essere accademica ma con una vivacità, una grazia e una leggerezza tutta femminile, adattissime a questo pezzo... BRAVO a tutti ma SUPER BRAVO a lei ......I listened to this song played by Parahia, Richter, Arrau, Sofronitsky, Horszowski, Kempff, Novaes and Demus, I admit, of course, that I'll never be able to play like them and even to go near them. I also liked the variety of ways and the various sensitivities of each of them in addressing and interpreting this beautiful piece of Schumann but I believe that the interpretation of Novaes is absolutely the best, she giving a great range of shades in the steps 'Piano' and 'Forte' without being academic, but with a feminine vivacity, grace and a lightness, very suitable to this piece ... BRAVO to all but SUPER BRAVO to her

    Schumann est d'une extreme et estreme délicatesse! Et son ami, Brahms, à ce qui m'a dit um ami à moi, le commencement de la musique pure. J'aime Schumann, Clara et Brahms. J'abhorre Wagner.

    He was one of the greatest pianists, just his tempi are most of the time either too fast or too slow (not only in this recording).

      Who is the judge of his tempos? Someone you accustomed to listen? Break the habit. Richter brings unusual palette to piano music, played by others too many times, we can only thank him for bringing it out of rut.

    Thank the good Lord for Boogie woogie, ragtime and stride. Why do i find stuff such as this here of unbearable boredom!!!??
    In the 18th century folks spent their time reading boring books such as Jean Paul and composing and boring music such as this on said boring literature. Thank the good Lord though for Kinderszenen and Waldszenen and the one and only piano concerto.

    • @stonefireice6058

      And where are all those boogie woogie now? Dead and buried. Nobody forces you to become culturally educated, so wiggle yourself with your predgidous comments out of here.
