It’s probably one of the best interpretation of this masterpiece.

Some of the superlatives floating about here are, in of themselves extraordinary. Though this performance is exemplary indeed...

Great Karl, a legend. Fantastic performance. God bless.

Inconsiderate idiots coughing loudly during quiet passages multiple times.

Bach in a son of God and judge a master

I think it deserves a like.

E Power Biggs also played marvelous interpretations of the piece on the organ Bach composed it upon.

昨今の古楽演奏では中々聴けない、風格ある、大人の超名演‼️

Bach's business card

Карл Рихтер - сам, как воплощение величайшей музыки Баха!

Shiny shoes

Gorgeous!!!!

He's a legend! I love his St Matteus recording digitised and released in Arkiv series by DG.

Nearly ALL the STOPS! In case some don't know this is where we get the expression, "Pulling out ALL the stops!" Those are the pegs that the other man is pulling out or pushing in, all the way or part way. It opens or closes or limits depending on how far you pull them out, the flow of air to the myriad banks of pipes. The organ is an instrument that replicates EVERY single part of an entire orchestra, winds, strings, etc. and those are all the stops.

Bach Leipzig Richter its a famous Work!

Bach above all.

4:10 Fugue starts

Keine Worte.

It takes a full 32 seconds for this video to begin

This the archangel with the sword of fire sounding the trumpet of the Last Judgment

concordo anchio che sia la migliore interpretazione

What is the Church who did play?

Genius got 4 brains

Isn't there a drawing of sorts with Bach at this organ, during his day?

At 14 my mom played KR's DGG Ital Conc on this powerful and magnificent cembalo. From the rock and roll of a pond to the world's oceans of yet undiscovered depths, this man's playing was an intro for me in true musicianship. Incredible presentations from this man.

The Decca recording of this is a gem. Never give it away unltess it's to someone who _knows_ Bach.

Divino. Nada mais a dizer.

Adam üstad üstad 👏👏👏

Thank you very much for sharing this absolutely splendid video of a master performing the work of a master on a masterpiece of an instrument. The fact that someone has seen fit to design this video streaming platform such that it injected an advertisement into the middle of this performance is an offense which should be punishable by law. That was very jarring and unpleasant.

If Bach was a rocket scientist, then Karl Richter was an astronaut.

SUPER!!!

Bach's Passacaglia has something Wagnerian about it. Götterdämmerung 160 years before the fact.

For me, this is an achievement comparable to the landing of the SpaceX Starship booster yesterday.

Слушаю и наслаждаюсь

bravo！！

なんで、単なる音楽がここまで深く精神性に響くのだろうか？ たった1人の音楽家がここまでの功績を築けたのは奇跡的である。 カール・リヒターはこの世にいない。 けれど、ドイツのアーカイブ🇩🇪ドイツ語ではアルヒーフレーベルに音源は残っている。 大バッハを再現できる人は100年にひとりと称される。 カール・リヒター。 グレン・グールド。 パブロ・カザルス。 あと、100年後か、 死んでるな。 その頃には、クラッシック音楽家の中にビートルズが入っているかもしれない。 便器を被ったジョン・レノンの写真が！

KR il top.❤😮

J.S.Bach , BWV 542. C `est le pièce plus precieux et fameux quand à moi. La loyalité du Saxonian Karl Richter à l ´oeuvre reste exemplaire.

Bach ohne Karl Richter, und Karl Richter ohne Bach ist beides gleich undenkbar!

この動画は西暦何年の映像だろう。知りたい。

I can only listen his version, as he plays it in the way I heard it first time. Everything else just feels "off".

Beautiful

簡単に言うと大バッハの曲を聴くと、 新郎新婦が結婚式に登場した時のような気持ちになる。

An abysmal piece. The initial theme repeats with a (characteristically German) colonic groaning underneath a jigging "pitch porridge" of 16th notes, a trepidation which often goes beyond metaphor, not to mention below music, as if the keys were actually being trampled by a crowd arduously holding in their waste. Moreover, is the pig squeal which draws the fugue to a close not symptomatic of counterpoint itself being a musical (?) trough, so to speak? In plunging their snouts into Bach's interior, his fans miss the sublime joke at their expense, in and of Bach's surface, his true "genius": indeed, the reasons why this piece is actually brilliant, contrary to its grotesque cacophony, can very well outnumber the notes it contains and thus give way to a kind of "wallowing in analytic filth", a debased enjoyment which is far more bereft of reason than whatever is ascribed to Bach critics and their supposed repulsion of the pure appearance of his music.

That instrument sounds incredible 🤯
