A close and dear friend of mine studied with Karl Richter, and as an already greatly accomplished organist and professional musician and Oxford music Doctorate, he Regarded Karl as the greatest living Bach interpreter of his day, tragically cut short in a car accident. Regarding him so much as to have a picture of Karl seated at the organ in his sitting room. So sad they are both gone now. One thing I have noticed in this video as an ex organ builder, is the extra depth of the key touch this must make playing much more difficult. Thus showing us what a great genius Karl Richter really was.

Some people may criticise Karl Richter for not adopting the HIP approach. While I like HIP, I find myself warming to Richter's interpretations of Bach, which are wondrous. His Mass in B Minor fully captures the awe and gravity that Bach no doubt intended, and his organ performances pay close attention to the counterpoint. Hugely admire the man!
I would call his approach HIP, regardless of periods instruments (organ and harpsichord has to be period instruments) or modern (his orchestra). The criticism is for his orchestra which is modern instruments. People equal HIP with period instruments which is in correct. HIP concept is specifically opposite of romanticism approach to every music period and style. HIP is de- romanticism playing style, by rerun to what composer intended.

I really love Richter’s interpretations of Bach’s choral, organ, and harpsichord works that he managed to record before his early death, even though my favorite organist is Marie-Claire Alain. I especially love his registrations and performance of Bach’s Passacaglia and Fugue, but this is a favorite, too….in _addition_ to Alain’s! I will never listen to one artist to the exclusion of all others because it’s so limiting and self defeating, and I thankfully don’t have the hypercritical temperament which causes listening only to criticize! Each artist adds to the prism through which the composer’s vision can be viewed, although one does have one’s favorites!

Here is one organist's opinion: The location of the organ console, from time in memoriam, has been at the discretion of others who tend to strongly dislike organists and music. The organ console is often tucked away in a loft, behind a pillar, in a pit or wherever the organist can remain unseen. Yes, we organists are loved and respected, more or less. Often as not, the organist either melts or freezes to the tips of their toes. We endure these little sacrifices in the name of our art. To an organist every day is Lent.

It's not that common, but it happens. The console of the greater organ, which was built by the same organist in the mid-1700, is similar (it only has more stops and two more manuals).

Secondo la mia idea K.Richter come organista dimostra bravura agilità e memoria musicale ma in sede di un concorso organistico non verrebbe ammesso per anomalie ritmiche e interpretazioni musicali personali non ammesse dal consesso che lo esaminerebbe.

Se posso permettermi, Karl Richter non aveva bisogno certo di partecipare a concorsi organistici di qualsivoglia tipo essendo già insegnante di musica, kappellmeister, direttore d'orchestra e musicista di fama mondiale. Immagino che agli esami abbia rispettato i canoni imposti dalla commissione. Cordialmente, Leonardo Paoletti

I was commenting on the fact that Charlotte might have disliked the organ, not the player. For me, I have found many organ players I like; however, when I listen to the passions on youtube, I generally go for the Richter ones. Personally, I find Richter to be "standard" - I'm open to better performances, but his are very acceptable. My favorite of art of fugue final on organ is Indra Hughes, by a landslide. www.indrahughes.com/mp3s/contrapunctus_14.mp3 Your mileage may vary. It does blur a little in spots, but this is more than made up for by the intensity and perfect pacing, IMO.
