Grieg: Lyric Pieces

Emil Gilels' personal selection of favorite lyric pieces is one of his most praised and best recordings. The pianist obviously selected the pieces with which he felt the strongest identification, and he plays them lovingly, with sprightly rhythms and a rich, singing tone. Gilels was the one who identified himself as second to Sviatoslav Richter--"If you think I'm something, wait until you hear Richter," he supposedly said. But this collection is just as beautiful in its way as Richter's lyric collections. Along with some of his Chopin playing, this Grieg set reminds us that Gilels was a major Romantic pianist. --Leslie Gerber

非常赞同，大家都知道他和里赫特的恩恩怨怨，也和涅高兹有过矛盾。但吉列尔斯的心地是纯净的，无私的。他在西方媒体面前毫不吝啬地夸奖李赫特，也曾冒着极大的风险面见斯大林请求他宽恕涅高兹。但后两者都未曾给予吉列尔斯公正的评价，无意贬损他人，只是因为喜欢吉列尔斯，说些事实。

德彪西说：听格里格之作如嚼雪中之果。

xx所有的Lyric Pieces 我品鉴了，就属EMIL GILELS 弹的最动人，可以音质差

你的感觉是对的，吉列尔斯的启蒙老师是敖德萨戏剧音乐学校的特卡奇，而后者是19世纪法国钢琴泰斗普纽的高徒。随后“小巨人”在1930年转往敖德萨音乐学院师从莱茵波德，接受其严谨的学院派训练，并于1933年多的苏联音乐比赛头奖，1935年赴莫斯科拜入涅高兹门下，1938年在伊丽莎白比赛中勇夺金奖。

吉列尔斯早年确实夸奖过里赫特，但不可否认他也曾嫉妒里赫特的声誉，两人后来的交恶不能说吉列尔斯没有任何责任，我喜欢吉列尔斯同样喜欢里赫特，但听音乐就好了，谈这些有的没的没意思
