Gratuitous Classical Musick YouTubing

And now for something completely different, via A.C. Douglas comes a terrific quartet of clips featuring a 1984 Japanese recital of music by Haydn and Debussy performed by Sviatoslav Richter.

I post the first segment here because not only is it a genuine piece by Haydn (despite Mr. Douglas' suspicion that it's actually Scarlatti), it also happens to be one of my favorite to play. Skip through the first couple minutes' worth of introductory hoo-hah and I think you'll enjoy it as well. And be sure to go over to Mr. Douglas' place for lots of other classical musick YouTube links as well.
