I first heard this on vinyl I borrowed from the library. I kept it for months. Unforgettable so many decades later. Richter's conception is dreamlike. Thank you!
When I first heard this as a teenager, by the time the last two scenes came around, I was shaking like a leaf in the wind, and did not fall asleep until sunrise
[Starting circa 12:44] The unhatched chicks are pecking at their shells.... the master Richter, has endowed them with the breath of life.... The percussive yet feathery voice he gives them through the chattering chords, for all their slapped density undeniably melodic.... This is magic, pure and simple!
Wow, what a phenomenal performance of Sviatoslav Richter!! He is the only one capable of creating and picturing, like a true poet, this magical piece of art! The interpretation and execution are breathtaking and bewildering!! Evidently Richter feels like a fish in the water! Astonishing and monumental!! I have the utmost admiration for the MAESTRO SVIATOSLAV RICHTER. Thanks for uploading this amazing gem!
I was fortunate to hear him play this piece in Symphony Hall in Boston during one of his rare visits to the US. It's one of the few musical experiences I have had that remains burned in my memory after all these years. I have never heard another pianist produce the sounds that Richter got out of that piano that day.
@@duvidl heard Richter did not like performing in the U.S. maybe he had more pressure and stress from the audience (maybe?). But I imagine that experience was to be a one time forever touch on the piano from both sides. (both literally and metaphorically speaking)
I received this recrod on vinyl in the 70's - as a young piano student, I hadn't head of Richter, but I thought his playing was magnificent! I still have the vinyl, in pristine condition.
Lebhafte und wunderschöne live Aufführung dieser originalen Klavierversion der populären Suite im relativ schnellen Tempo mit klar artikuliertem doch etwas anmutigem Anschlag und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch ziemlich hoch als eine live Aufnahme von vierundsechzig Jahren vor. Wahrlich unvergleichlicher Virtuose!
Sofia is greatest, I think, but both are outstanding in their metric freedom and the novel-like wideness of their conception - played by a real artist.
Recorded in public, this interpretation by Sviatoslav Richter is one of the must-see performances. There are few things in the piano repertoire as powerful as "The Hut on Fowls legs / Baba-Yagá" and "The Great Gate of Kiev". Richter's way of playing, on the verge of breaking hammers, is perhaps not taught in any school, you have to bare all your soul and go deep inside yourself to be able to express all the magic of this score...

Tastes vary of course, but I think this is far from the best interpretation. However, I have to say you got a lot of emotion out of the recording that isn't present on the LP so congratulations! For anyone curious, I think Brendel hit the nail in the head with his recording for Philips.
I agree with some that some tempos are a but fast. Prefer Ashkenazy's more nuanced version. Richter's strength in my eyes is all Rachmaninoff, most eminently the Etudes Tableaux.
I totally disagree. The poetical and artistic qualities of Richter are phenomenal! His phantasy brings everything alive in this" Pictures of an Exhibition"! This is not Mozart.

Trembling
... same happens to me till today ...
Your depth and ability to be moved are truly inspiring!

The percussive yet feathery voice he gives them through the chattering chords, for all their slapped density undeniably melodic.... This is magic, pure and simple!
What a tone! He makes the piano live and breathe. To die for.....
Wow, what a phenomenal performance of Sviatoslav Richter!!
He is the only one capable of creating and picturing, like a true poet, this magical piece of art!
The interpretation and execution are breathtaking and bewildering!!

Astonishing and monumental!!
I have the utmost admiration for the MAESTRO SVIATOSLAV RICHTER.
Thanks for uploading this amazing gem!
A legendary performance. Wonderful to hear it remastered, with the coughing gone. Thank you.
I think the one with the bad coughing was from Sofia in 1958
@@keithmatthews1673 Thanks
There is still coughing sounds to me like this is the Sofia recording ...
To have heard Richter play live must have been such an overwhelming and profound experience.
I was fortunate to hear him play this piece in Symphony Hall in Boston during one of his rare visits to the US. It's one of the few musical experiences I have had that remains burned in my memory after all these years. I have never heard another pianist produce the sounds that Richter got out of that piano that day.
@@duvidl heard Richter did not like performing in the U.S. maybe he had more pressure and stress from the audience (maybe?). But I imagine that experience was to be a one time forever touch on the piano from both sides. (both literally and metaphorically speaking)
@@schrysafis Another reason for Richter not coming more often to the US was that he did not like flying and had to undergo a long ocean voyage..
S.Richter is BEST ...ALWAYS ... BRAVO !....THANKS for "remastered"

Wahre Meister am Klavier!
Wonderful.
splendide ,ENORME ;-)
Best version ever !
I’ve only heard the orchestral version, but this is really good.
Sofronichrist соглашусь с Вами , что эта одна из самых лучших, но моей любимой является интерпретация Михаила Плетнева!
Best versión Ivo Pogorelich
Lebhafte und wunderschöne live Aufführung dieser originalen Klavierversion der populären Suite im relativ schnellen Tempo mit klar artikuliertem doch etwas anmutigem Anschlag und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch ziemlich hoch als eine live Aufnahme von vierundsechzig Jahren vor. Wahrlich unvergleichlicher Virtuose!
Всегда в Чехии , Рихтер был "Милочек Праги".... ВСЕГДА современно!
리히터 연주는 항상 좋더라... 믿듣리히터
この絵良いなぁ
Thank you.
i enjoyed that
Nice. They got rid of the audience's coughing
Viva! Modern technology!!!
解説には問題があります。プロムナードは、ムソルグスキー自身にツァー(ロシア皇帝)を重ね合わせたものと見るべきです。だから、キエフの大門のなかにも出てくるのです。ムソルグスキーとハルトマンは当時のロシアの状況を憂えて、民衆が救われる道を求めるという点で同志でした。この曲もそういう思想的な共感を故人に対して懐いていたことを考えなければ、ただ大袈裟なだけの音楽におわってしまうでしょう。ラヴェルが第一プロムナードをトランペットと金管にしたことには、非常に深い意味が感じられます。
You introduced me to Richter with your upload of his Bach's Well Tempered Clavier and I've been captivated by his playing ever since
his abi;ities at times are on anther planet
prefer Sofia live recording but this is great too.
Blasphemy! 😊💕
So do I-
김민철 I agree.
Sofia is greatest, I think, but both are outstanding in their metric freedom and the novel-like wideness of their conception - played by a real artist.
この演奏はソフィアの生演奏をリマスターしたものだと思います。

@@lisafischer895 An even greater treasure then!
Is this the performance that we issued at in the Phillips box set 20th century great pianists?
Different source :) archive of a concert in the city of Prague
@@classicalmusicreference thanks for the information
Concert audience: all consumptive ??
Tastes vary of course, but I think this is far from the best interpretation. However, I have to say you got a lot of emotion out of the recording that isn't present on the LP so congratulations!

1st promenade is so hurried and fast, in my opinion.
How to get a sheet for this?
Too fast. The opening number is intended to depict someone leisurely wandering through an art exhibit, NOT dancing through it.
I agree with some that some tempos are a but fast. Prefer Ashkenazy's more nuanced version. Richter's strength in my eyes is all Rachmaninoff, most eminently the Etudes Tableaux.
Hold da kæft mand
for satan da
Wer ist auch wegen schule hier
Horrible; no grip nor understanding of the tempo; he is rushing through the pictures as he has to go pee fast.
If music is slower than necessary, it steals more of your lifetime than necessary. I never listen to adagios.
I totally disagree. The poetical and artistic qualities of Richter are phenomenal!
His phantasy brings everything alive in this" Pictures of an Exhibition"!
This is not Mozart.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
