Salve, all.

[Air]

Hello classical music lovers:

I come from another forum which I've been slightly dissatisfied with (some may be members there too), and this seems like a nice community.  I hope to share my love for music and discover new things here in the days to come.

My favorite composers are Prokofiev, Ravel, Bach, Beethoven, but I enjoy countless other masters.  I play the piano, Sviatoslav Richter is obviously one of my biggest idols.

Cheers

Our forum member George is an amateur Richter expert of sorts; he seems to have nearly every recording the man made, and even got me to buy some. You'll get along swimmingly. 

Welcome to the forum, RexRichter! Hope you do enjoy your stay and our community.

Welcome! And remember; this is not usually a board all about conspiracies.

But of course we may all be conspiring to welcome you.

A belated welcome, Rex, to the forum - from Australia!

I must say I too admire Richter - I've got an LP of him playing the Liszt concertos & it is superb playing. He had a great technique & was a great artist. Pity he didn't continue to do conducting alongside his solo work - that would have been even more interesting...
