I admire Richter's stunning simplicity, slow-pacing for better enlightening the music, incredible richness of timbre, and artistic generosity. He's unmatchable. I 🤍 him. Oh unfathomable depth, blue like the expanse of the sky 🕊🎇 The consciousness, the genuinity in his playing are just staggering. Legend 💐 Sonata e-moll D 566 [00:01:39] I. Moderato [00:08:52] II.

There is a no-nonsense modesty in Richter’s personality and in his devotion to the musical text that makes his performances unequaled. Whereas, with even most of the great performers, there is that slight feeling of something missing when they sight-read rather than play from memory. Richter’s technique and sight-reading are so perfect, and effortless, that there is something special about watching him gazing into the music; you feel as though he is talking to the composer through the sheet music; as though he is using the sheet music to enhance his communication with the composer. I have never felt that enhancement through sight-reading by any other pianist; it is an effortless genius in sight-reading by a uniquely gifted pianist, one of the greatest, perhaps even THE greatest, of all time. Are we lucky to have the rich legacy of his live performances, or what!

[@FriedrichZettl]

I was lucky enough to be able to experience him live in Vienna. Everything about him exudes modesty and yet overall has a strong charisma.

[@stonefireice6058]

What an incredible pianist Sviatoslav Richter, unique, true artist! I remember in musical circles of StPetersburg ( then Leningrad) and Moscow of 60s there were constant debates about who was the best pianist Richter or Gilels. Heated arguments and insults were common. But nobody told us”idiots”, that they were equal in their stupendous artistry, very different, but both - the Gods of musical Olympus. And now I cherish memories of Richter’s and Gilels’ live performances in Moscow, and count my blessings.

One of the most outstanding live recitals of the 20th Century. I listened to it's radio broadcast back in 1977, now thankfully I can relive the whole experience visually through the wonders of YT. Seeing Richters total absorption in the music through his unique body language is something to marvel at.

[@MuzBuz]

Truly absorbed in Richter's way, when he almost doubled the duration of the first movement in this sonata.

[@meredith218461]

@MuzBuz Richter was in many ways an unconventional pianist, he could convince listeners with the sheer honesty and commitment of his interpretive vision. Admittedly in lesser hands such a slow tempo in the first mvt of the Sonata would be highly unconvincing and boring. For me though, and I imagine many others Richters total commitment and intensity of purpose draws the audience into every note and phrase.

[@janwillemheijbroek9107]

@Meredith Foster This is why I love Richter! He plays according to what his heart and his brains tell and is not at all interested in how a piece should be played or in what (indicated) tempo. Only a genius like Sviatoslav Richter says "to hell with conventions"! I will play it as I think or feel it must be played according to Sviatoslav Richter and nobody else! An absolute unique and superb man. Thank God for Sviatoslav Richter!!

This is almost surreal to me. First of all, I’ve never seen Richter so up close in performance. Actually this is my first time seeing him “in action, live in color”. To me he is like one of the pre-Olympian gods, the Titans, all right, so seeing him performing “in this light“ feels to me as if he came back to life. Either that, or I took a time machine and time-traveled back to 1977, a decade before I was born! Oh, by the way, this is my first time hearing that first e-minor sonata, too. In fact, most of this fabulous Schubert program is new to me, except for D. 894. This whole thing was absolutely WONDROUS to me! A total eye/ear opener, really. Thank you so much for sharing this PRICELESS musical document! God bless KZbin!!! Cheers!

Richter,among the others, has an understatement Power, the use of resonance, spiritual resonance. A long time ago, Vladimir Horowitz told me about their link, they were not Friends,but the respect was a " Shadow stronger(Sic!)". In Schubert, Richter achieved, in my honest opinion, the highest level( Beethoven Is the other One) cause he freezed the guilede not only but undoubtlely for Nun. Is the line tenderly accomplished if the Harmony doesn't apply the measure of tones? Neuahus, in his book, became un due tre Stella

[@farahmand4771]

@@jamesnickoloff6692 He's a teacher in the conservatory of my town, in Switzerland. Richter came here for a concert in Lausanne or Geneva during his late years. He asked for a decent professionnal pianist who could turn the pages for him. My teacher was called, came to him and played him something (as a warranty of his skills). He told me that Richter played Grieg's Pièces lyriques. We have a recording of him playing it in 1991. He probably came in Switzerland to play it during the same year. My teacher, who was quite young at the time said that Richter was old, so it matches perfectly in terms of date. Concerning Richter's playing, he said that it was really good but quite objective, distant in a way. He said that Richter was really serious, wasn't smiling, laughing or discussing at all. The funny part is that, apparently, he played with such little light that it was quite impossible to read the score in fact x) My teacher found it weird and didn't understand how the score could be helpful in such conditions. An other interesting thing is when my teacher asked Richter why he played with the score (they talked in german). The answer was simple, and the same that Richter gave in his biography by B. Monsaingeon : he found stupid to force yourself to memorize all these notes, which restrains you to learn more pieces. And for someone like Richter, who wanted to play so much music, it is understandable. He told my teacher that it was basically how musicians were playing music during centuries, and that this memorized-recital is quite a new thing in history. But how was he playing if it was nearly impossible to read during the concert, due to the fact that he played in the dark? Well, my teacher said that Richter, who was a phenomenal sight reader and a gigantic "memorizer", was remembering the piece after sight reading many times during his practices, but unlike how he was doing until the 70s, he would stop the memorizing process at this point, so you know the piece but it is not secure. And probably that he could really read the score even in the dark (that's weird I know). He wasn't playing all the pieces without the score, simply because he didn't want to. I think that there is a filmed recording of him playing a suite by Haendel in Tours, and the page turner is Gavrilov. At some point Gavrilov forgot to turn the page, and Richter couldn't continue : he played a cadenza and ended the piece like this. A proof that he really needed the score in some cases. That's it. But!...Richter said in his biography that he began to use the score in the late 70s after a disastrous Liszt recital, which make me think that it also was a security in case of memory lapses x) There is nothing wrong about that, he was getting old and played some of the most difficult pieces of the repertoire, that's normal. That's all I know x) Bye
