Smith, you're delirious, paranoid, pessimistic, whiny and ignorant.
You disgust me and everybody else. You don't need to comment anymore because we as usual know your reactions. We know you're there. Don't worry. Just keep your mouth shut.

Gorgeous! Such precision!

(6) There is no doubt that he was a sensible and superb human being and Shmits or anyone else will not take it out from him definitely. ShmitS is just lonely person who tries to call attention by this means. He is just trying to hide away his fears, his mediocrity and his loneliness making us believe that he is an intellectual gifted person.
Someone here described his page perfectly: "The house of terror". That resumes the truly essence of a loser.

(5) Music is ... ( 10 months ago by nietzschemasterclass)

(5) Music is subjective, that's the best understood concept in a person with the minimum level of intelligence though what I've noticed that ShmitS and many others do here, is to listen over and over again a musician -- paradoxically hated by all of them- who felt the music deep in his heart, deep in his soul and expressed with passion, love, humble and honesty. If we can be sure of something is that Richter was an authentic and genuine musician whether you like him or not.

(4) The final ... ( 10 months ago by nietzschemasterclass)

(4) The final result is that we have a new music redeemer, a soul saver who is going to take us out from the darkness and to teach us how we must conceive music in a proper way. It's a contradiction. His conception is based on a false premise. If there is a person who metronomizes the music is him but won't accept it because of his paranoid and grappled mind. If the term metronome means "speed per se", then the artifact would be designed just from the middle to the top of it.

(3) He tries to ... ( 10 months ago by nietzschemasterclass)

(3) He tries to brake, in his own belief and selfish conception, the musical rules if there exist at some point about listening and playing certain work but he gets caught in the same way. He is trapped in his own way of thinking, converting the subjectivity of music into a logical thought, his logical thought, and reconverted back again to his own convenience and therefore to his subjective form.

(2) All of us have ... ( 10 months ago by nietzschemasterclass)

(2) All of us have our own personal way of felling the music. It is totally subjective. On the other hand, this particular look of ShmitS "The D'Artagnan look", makes me believe that he is truly possessed by this kind of "romantic saver of poverty", in this case: our poverty of souls, mediocre, distorted, narrow, and primitive minds who given our ignorance and lack of sensibility are not capable to distinguish between what is worth or not when feeling the music through certain interpreter.

To all music lovers ... ( 10 months ago by nietzschemasterclass)

To all music lovers:
(1) What it calls my attention about guys like ShmitS's comments is that he tries hard to encourage all of us to use our sensibility in order to convert a bunch of signs in something far away different than the meaning itself of those signs called music. On one hand I believe that most of us have
enough sensibility, I don't think that we as an audience here "metronomizes" the music first in order to decode it and then "feel" it properly according to ShmitS's guidance.

I quite enjoy richters playing. It is comparatively "dryer" or more straight than other performances, but this isnt black and white. His playing isnt "dead", or "cold" like some people say.
What a beautiful room!! Where is that, does anyone know?? St.Petersburg, Moskva?

Svyatoslav Richter ... ( 9 months ago by francorussie)

Svyatoslav Richter 's very versatile: Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Chopin, Ravel & so on: Pure beauty, intellectual insight and emotion. (As to those litlle "smithersher..." or "marcemom...", dear Nietzschemasterclass, their obessission with Richter is far more complex :-), I know their tastes, akin to Gavrlov's vision of "art"="it's fantastic, i'm in plastic") Petty "sensitiveness" hates grandeur, honesty and power you can find in Richter ' s performances P.S. sorry, did not mean "spam".

At the very beginning I mostly listened and at that time, I did not know much about the critics and comments, still I was very much impressed by Richter's playing as such. Then I found out composers & performers praised him. Then I compared his to others and liked it even more ;-) eirikpilot, it can be just a matter of taste, then it's ok. But I heard those comments from people with bad taste or too queer sensitiveness (that pushes them to preferring performances by Elton John ;-)

He's so involved in the big picture that he loses some of the more beautiful moments in the piece. It's like somebody trying to speed-read Mallarme.
