Für meinen Geschmack die schönste Darbietung der G.V.en

Abyssal.

Best song to listen before new year

Sono sulla tomba di Thibaud .

This is marvelous. Everything sounds... natural.

Prodigieux❗️

That PEDALLING! that ARTICULATION! I believe the defining characteristic of Richter's peformances is it feels like the entire score has a "leggiero" marking, and I love that about it. Most pianists drown all those delicate fast notes in sustain pedal, and to me the delicate fast notes in Rach were made to be heard. Pretty sure Rach himself said so, and you can hear in Rach's own recordings that he uses pedal very judiciously. Richter plays in the spirit of the composer

I think this is one of the best performances of the Miroirs I've ever heard. Richter makes every movement completely haunting and enthralling. Incredible pianissimos. Une Barque is very fast, but I loved it, the fluidity gives more of a sense of being tossed on stormy waves than conventional interpreations do, imo. When Alborada del Gracioso started I literally thought it was a guitar for a second, the shift in tone is incredible. Got a real twang to it, as it should. The timestamp for Alborada in the description is wrong btw, it should be 14:00

Eine sehr überraschende Meditation könnte man sagen.

The last time I saw him was in 1977.I keep a lot of his records.Perfect Waldstein.

One of my first words, I am told, was "Panna!" (Piano). the first record I remember hearing was Rudolf Firkusny's "Moonlight" around 1954. My birthmother was a concert pianist and evidently played while carrying me. This piece is the theme of my life.

C'est magnifique. Quel génie... Le plus grand de tous aux dires de Marguerite Long !

Grandissimo l !!!

He gets the bridge passage leading back to the recapitulation, first movt., absolutely right, unlike many. He is the greatest of the great.

A la fois profondément humain mais aussi hautement métaphysique. Unique. Il n'y aura probablement jamais 2 Richter.

If there wasn't Sokolov, this would be my favorite version. And in its own way, it is !

Breathtaking.....like his Rakh II.....BRAVO from Acapulco!

Liszt regarded Schubert as the most lyrical of all composers. This is one example.

He reached to a level which is not achieved by many pianists in his forties

Me,I prefer Yuan Sheng ( piano) and Trevor Pinnock ( cembalo)...

Reminds me so much of the music my mom used to play for the Church of Christian Science in Haddonfield, NJ. They loved her, they would stay after services to hear her play. She never retired at 79, she just took a break and then was gone. It's been 15 years and i still miss her. Thank you for this video!

I have always wondered about the constant subdivision of the beat with repeated notes in the first movement of this piece. Firkusny unabashedly brings them to prominence.

So beautiful! ❤ Thanks.

The recording is from Prague, June 2, 1975. Richter at his peak, in the raging with enthusiasm concert hall of the Rudolfinum. As someone noted here, Prague was probably Richter's favourite place. Perhaps because he first came here abroad in the spring of 1950 (shortly before his concert here he also gave a concert in the spa town of Teplice, perhaps in memory of Beethoven). And he also recorded what is probably his best version of Schubert's Sonata in B flat major in Prague in September 1972. Unfortunately I missed that concert... So this Hammerklavier was my first live encounter with him. The Rudolfinum was abuzz, everyone felt that this was an exceptional, climactic experience. Also, it was at the end of the annual Prague Spring music festival. In the first part, Sviatoslav played Beethoven's 3rd Sonata in a thrilling way and a selection from Bagatelles. And then came Hammeclavier IN ALL ITS WONDERFUL GLORY (as Jonathan Kerr-Sheppard described Richter's performance of this sonata a few days later in the chapel of King's College, Cambridge.) As an encore, Richter repeated the last movement, and then a short sad piece I didn't know at the time. I later learned that it was Wagner's Schmachtend. The composition of the program very well thought out!

92!!! He was not an old soldier, but a seasoned musical warrior!

Richter is a hero by nature He is always introvert But his playing shows he is a heroic figure

She is even better then Gould

The legend. He was an amazing musician and left us a great legacy.

Proprement inimaginable...Richter à son sommet.

The most sensitive interpretation of this divine Partita I have ever heard

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Thank you for sharing The Lion King of the Keyboard.

35:43

One of the best interpretations of the etudes in my opinion!

5:21 the most luscious interpretation of this lovely fughetta

8:23

MI favorito, de lejos.

This is the exact reason I only play my own pieces now. Why to bother? I better enjoy this recordings lol.

I like to imagine I'm hearing him play a gorgeous Steinway (which I'm guessing he was) recorded by the best engineers of today. Somehow it adds an extra dimension in appreciating the beauty and power of his playing.

The Greatest.....Strange, though, the unforced Error at 33:28.....BRAVO from Acapulco!

初めて丁寧に聞いたんですが、これはものすごく良い演奏じゃないですか。ブルックナーへの愛情が伝わってくる。単に端正でバランスがいいだけではない。

may he live

Fantastic and marvelous as always.Second only to Magda Tagliaferro . This concert was a the trade mark of her career recorded twice. LIsten her version too

Man.. I'm just here for sanity and peace after witnessing mass formation psychosis clowns cheering on Yun ChanLim for typewriting something with an erratic rhythm.
