Par to Gunther Ramin (who was his teacher); from tempi to registrations. One of the few who dares to play the second part of the monumental fugue in "Doppio Movemento" as indicated, and follows Reger's subsequent metronomical markings to go faster as it moves on. Like it should be played.

An inspirational performance of my favourite Bach work. I am not in the least bit familiar with this instrument but it seems that much of its character lies in the mutations and mixtures of each division. Karl Richter's genius managed to shape this into a coherent grandeur that still allowed the fascinating colours to shine through. Bravo.

L’orgue d’Ottobeuren a vraiment une sonorité unique, qui ajoute à la magnifique interprétation de Richter. Je retiens dans la 548 de Bach le tempo de Richter, lequel permet de mieux appuyer les accents dramatiques de l’œuvre. Merci pour ce partage!

One can hear the wind chests trying their best to supply the requisite air when he’s playing with full organ. Alas, they failed… the wind pressure was sorely insufficient as this genius played. But, he made it work! One hopes that this wind supply trouble has been remedied: they had 48yrs to upgrade the blowers!

So rare that Im the only English person watching rn!!!!!

This is one of the greatest organ concerts ever recorded and I’ve heard all of the greats since Virgil Fox in the early 1970s (who also died in 1980).

Genius

Master. Left us too early

Bis heute glaubte ich, dass ich das Stück in-und-auswendig kenne, doch so genial gespielt habe ich es nocht nie hehört😊😊

❤🎉

This recording has an unearthly quality which calls to mind black lights in the 1970s. Hoomeyow!!

Wie die Restauration immer besser wurde, ist auch *ihre* Wiedergabe zu pflegen: Die Übertragungs-Kette ist so stark wie das schwächste Glied! EQUALIZER Variante 'Caruso EQ Referenz' (update Einstellung!) *©2024* HL, Germany. +1,5 dB (60Hz) -12,9 dB (230Hz) -15,0 dB (910Hz) -15,0 dB (4kHz) +10,0 dB (14kHz) Die kleine Mühe der EQ- Einstellung *lohnt sich....* Eine "EMPFEHLUNG" hört den Unterschied ( yt ITbNY1PV_yg ) Probieren Sie bitte mit Handy- Steuerung die o a. EQ-Angabe Es ergibt einen *besseren Ton!* Sprung fast "Mono zu Stereo".

Bach’s greatest Prelude & Fugue played too fast. At least Richter performed all of the fugue subject’s measure-long trills.

No even beat to the begging notes. Strange. Apparently I play it too metronomically. Pedal a little too loud in the middle section.

Audience did not know a fugue follows? Or loves the prelude so much they applaud? Wonderful applause after.

Chant of arisen zombies

Goedendag,is er van dit KarlRichterOfficial ook een emailadres te vinden?PL

Sensational.

@beto1515 Fernando Germani - WOW.... really unique sound and interpretation on that EMI recording....and what talent! Thank you for introducing this Bach recording as I love Toccata. I think it is all about preferences. For me, I prefer the feeling of Karl Richter's playing but certainly Fernando is top class!!! Isn't it wonderful to have these wonderful recordings with their own interpretations?

Yes same recording but too fast. If you stabilize this sound on a high end audio system it will BLOW YOU AWAY.

Karl Richter was KING BACH organ player for Toccata & Fugue. INSANE technique and this was 1950s!!!! OMG. I need to check my recording but should be same as this ...BUT THIS VERSION IS WAAAAY TOO FAST. Maybe copyright issues so sped up. Played on a high quality audio system this sounds AMAZING with the air being pumped around the room. ONE OF THE GREAT RECORDINGS OF CLASSICAL MUSIC.

I'm personally not a big fan of this recording. The staccato notes make is seem much less dramatic than it should be in my opinion. Richter has better recordings of this piece that I enjoy far more than this one.

Another great performance by Richter. In the Prelude, you can feel the pulse so well. It's rare to see organ used like this especially by someone like Bach, but I love it. The ending of the fugue is incredible. The chromatism really makes you feel uneasy. What an incredible BWV.

Karl Richter - the Unbelievable Gift of God!!! Marvellous, Heavenly ….. His Performance is for ever brilliant

Karl Richter - the most Splendid Genius of all times !!!

Amazing performance!

Karl Richter war schlicht einmalig!

Phenomenal

Karl Richter . Als großer Organist und Bach Dirigent in die Geschichte eingegangen!

It's still a great interpretation, but you can say that his health was declining. He was only 54 but this music speaks of a much older person.

Meine Seele weint, wenn ich sein geniales Spiel höre, ich bin fast 90 und habe viele Jahre in einer Kirche aus dem 13. Jh. im Chor gesungen. Es gibt nichts Schöneres als solch begnadetes Spiel. Warum musste er so früh sterben?

Wunderbar. Karl Richter was persuasively clear in his organ performances, regarded to be the top of organists of J.S.Bach in Europe , namely in England and France. Thanks

That passage work in the opening section has such a sense of direction. Fulminating playing.

Aufgenommen am 35. Februar. Wirklich 35 Februar???

A truly classic moment. Richter at Fox’s instrument. Thanks for sharing!

When in shcool, we were taught to write. a story, Head, Body, tail… Bach also must have learnt that, with the Grace of God,,,…’’’

Il più grande

Emozionante. Davvero il più grande. Senza uguali

Measured steady majestic and marvellous….Bless Karl Richter

I read that this organ was built for Karl Richter. He knew how to use it well.

L'Allemagne est utilisé contre le groupe humain genovefain ; c'est un bras qui a atteint des douleurs ; dans les lois du champ magnétique : rien ne se perd, rien ne cré mais tout se transforme, le même conducteur thermique qu'a monté l'harceleur contre le groupe humain genovefain sera monté par le groupe et de réaliser l'existentialisme par la première citadine qui est Aubervilliers en Alsace.

Gli errori le note sbagliate ecc non cancellano la sua titanica grandezza e la grande coerenza stilistica che ne fanno il più grande interprete di Bach,il Servo di Bach diviene così anche il suo alfiere.Grandissimo.

RIP Mistrzu

Le meilleur de l'orgue

une interprétation très émouvante de sincérité musicale ; ce grand musicien avait JS Bach dans les gênes ! ...

He plays fast but safe and accurate.

I have some colleagues that met him in Rio and others in São Paulo.
