Richter, Sviatoslav. (PIANO) Program recital, Leningrad, March 1, 1959

Description: Richter, Sviatoslav. (1915-1997) [Malko, Nikolai. (1883-1961)]. Richter, Sviatoslav. (1915-1997) [Malko, Nikolai. (1883-1961)] Program from recital, Leningrad, March 1, 1959 Folded octavo. 4 pp. Program of solo recital of the distinguished Russian pianist at the Leningrad Philharmonic Hall with works by Brahms, Szymanowski (Second Sonata) and Rachmaninoff. In Russian. Final page announces further concerts, including an orchestral subscription concert on March 12 to be conducted by "Nikolai Malko (Australia)"—his only guest appearance in the Soviet Union after his emigration in 1929. 6.75 x 4.75 inches (17 x 12 cm). Horizontal fold with slight tears; somewhat browned; calculations in ink to title; else in very good condition. Malko's forthcoming guest concert testifies to the relative freedom of the "thaw" years, which also allowed for Stravinsky visiting the Soviet Union two years later. Szymanowski's Second Sonata, very challenging both technically and musically, was one of Richter's favorites. This is an uncommon program from before Richter's first concerts in the West, which took place in May 1960, when he was allowed to play in Finland, and on October 15, 1960 , in Chicago, where he played Brahms's 2nd Piano Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Erich Leinsdorf, creating a sensation.
