Sparkling performance full of brio (why, what did you expect?).Only #3 issued by EMI. The date of this performance is stated as March '72 (no day specified) on the various EMI issues, but after some inquiry I think this date wrong! I've listened to the performance of 6/5/70 (which includes also Beethoven V. Son. #1 & #10)and to my ears it is the same as the video version. Add to this the fact that there is a video clip of Violin Son.#1(from "David Oistrakh - artist of the people") which appears to come from the same concert(same music stand, same attire: for example Richter with a white Handerkercheif in chest pocket etc).To sum up:it appears the Violin Son. #3 comes from the filmed recital of 6/5/70 which also includes #1 & #10. Another possibility is that it might come from an unlisted recital close in time to the 29th March'72 concert (Dreamlife DVD DLVC 1113), or possibly from the recital of 19th March '72 since it is listed in the Chronology (but nowhere else)....[Since I wrote the above I have come across a video clip in which Rozhdestvensky introduces this performance and mentions clearly it is from "....May 1970". Case closed.] . LIVE |

? | * NHK (Japanese TV) | Schubert piano sonata not broadcast. TRA has never seen this one - hopefully this video will show up someday. We know that the Prokofiev Piano Son.#7 was broadcast on NHK TV on 6/9/70 in a 50min. programme.There is some uncertainty about the rest. LIVE |

The Bartok violin Son. #1 & Prokofiev Violin Son. #1 plus the 2 encores are great new additions to the Videography, thanks to Dreamlife! Picture quality is a little gloomy ("inky") and lacks the lustre of the former EMI issue of the Brahms Violin Son.#2 but it doesn't take long to get over this and is a "must have" for piano and violin enthusiasts who can afford it.

Disc 1 of 4 laserdisc box: "The Art of Richter".There definately appears to be atleast one encore (with orchestra): in the Dreamtime issue we see Richter return to the stage and once again sit at the piano and look up at the conductor in readiness mode - TRA speculates that the last movement of the Brandenburg #5 is repeated (and was probably filmed) - Richter often repeated as an encore a movement of what he just played and we note in Ates Tanin's "Recorded Richter" that Richter played the 3rd mov. as an encore in the '78 performance of the Brandenburg #5 in Tours. **The Telefond entries indicate that the Bach Concerto #6 was filmed, but no date is given. Richter performed all three concertos in Leningrad 3 weeks later, so it is entirely likely that the same programme was performed in Moscow. LIVE |

| 31 | Mozart - Violin Sonatas (Kagan) | 12/82? Moscow |
63 min. | * Soviet TV |
The contents of this programme remain a mystery to TRA. For example, the following are listed (Telefond entries) as being filmed: Violin Sonatas K.403,K.372,K.304,K.454, but there exists atleast an audio recording of K.376, K.378 and K.379 as well which come from a "December Nights" festival concert on 17/12/1982. The Telefond entries refer to a TV broadcast of 1983. So is it possible that there may be more than one filmed recital of Mozart Violin Sonatas? |

95 min. | * BBC TV | Very controversial filming event. Richter demanded only so much light but the technicians thought otherwise and increased the light on the piano DURING the performance of the Etudes, with obvious anger from Maestro who looks up towards the camera while trying not to lose his flow. Thanks to the nitwits who perpetrated this crime we are probably short a few encores, because Maestro didn't stick around much after this insult! LIVE. |
