Svjatoslav Richter created a stir in New York in the fall of 1960 by justifying Romain Rolland’s judgement of the Appassionata, i.e. ‘a flood of fire in a bed of granite’. A true selfportrait of the artist according to the critics, amazed by his violent and tragical vision in contrast with the one of the 18 Sonata, pastoral and sober. He adored this old fashioned suite, without any slow movement, allying the baroque Morart to the Schumanian forest. He amazes in the famous Tempest more an intimate reflexion than a Shakesperian wrathful fury.
