I heard Richter once and will never forget it. He was everything his recordings had led you to expect and more. The miracle was how he was completely self-effacing and yet you knew were in the presence of a miracle. Musicianship, musical intelligence, technical problems completely surmounted. As close to perfection as one can expect in this life. Listen to his playing during Op. 26, it's like a great musician is in charge of each individual voice, treble and bass, and the balance between legato and staccato is just miraculous. Wit, playfulness and mischief that never descends into caricature. The word genius is overused, but, if any pianist was or will ever be worthy of the epithet, it was and is Sviatoslav Richter.
Sviatoslav Richter was the epitome of what classical pianist is. Years of studying and the being consumed by the artistry of magnificent layers of colors that only come within those of genius. Elements of touches of the soul within that flow threw the energy each touch of finger tips of the gods and beyond. ❤ Bravo 👏
Слушаю и опять возвращаюсь слушать гениев !!! Они потрясают своими талантами !!! Душа оживает и ты в плену прекрасного , проживаешь мгновения , которые остаются на годы !
Richter's interpretation of Beethoven feels relaxed, clear, articulate and leaves enough breath for us to enjoy. The phrases he expresses are enough to enjoy any time of the day or night. Very nonchalantly is his style and always fantastic to listen to. It's as if he plays not just for show but for the love of the composer himself. What gems.
Бетховена в исполнении Святослава РИХТЕРА можно только слушать... и слушать...и слушать...и слушать...и слушать...и слушать… и слушать… ....нет предела....бесконечность..... НАСЛАЖДЕНИЯ
I don't understand playing unless you know a piece by heart. I say that after I was caught without my music at a recital and dropped out. Now I memorize as I learn.
@@ultravenia Even the greatest have lapses of memory on occasion, there is no shame in playing from the score as would Beethoven have done in his time. It would never detract from a great performer but would from a lesser one.
@@georgeewart52 I don't think it was Richter's point. I think he wanted to emphasize the importance to respect the score, but I doubt he really needed it! It was more an attitude toward the music.
Мне повезло а жизни. Я слышала игру Рихтера из зала. Это не забываемо. Свет был выключен и освещены только его руки. Тишина была в зале. Это потрясающе!!!
This phenomenal artist passed away precisely 20 years ago. His great art continues to live. Unfortunately, so few people are capable of appreciating it.
Agreed. I didn't like the pounding sound of the piano so I chose to play the violin. Over the years I became familiar with the piano. But only through TH-cam did I finally appreciate pianists and determined lately that Richter is the best.
I am always astonished by Richter's performance! I love his rough touch combined with a very delicate touch ! Я всегда удивлен выступлением Рихтера! Мне нравится его грубое прикосновение в сочетании с очень тонким прикосновением !
There are those pianists which you just wish you had managed to hear live at some point. Richter is one of those for me, came here from that incredible Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto no 1 with von Karajan and the Vienna Symphony from 1962. I would also love to have heard Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli live too. As a young child I did hear Artur Rubinstein, it was a long time ago but I know he played some Chopin ! Thanks for posting this outstanding Beethoven recital by Richter.
I saw all 3. Rubinstein was too old at 88 and it was not that memorable. Richter I saw twice when he was in his early to mid 70's here in London and one concert was extraordinary, the famous Barbican recital which I think was 1988 and the 2nd was outstanding but lacked something as it does not linger in my memory. Michelangeli I saw 4 times in London and it was electric each time. every pianist within 500 miles with a night off there to watch and listen. Such an aura and charisma of the like we will never see again, of that I am sure.
Beethoven and S. Richter in this recital compass an ineffable feeling of spiritual elevation.The expression is achieved touch by touch, like a painter and is directed by phrasing the many laws of imagination and its many measures.Thank you for posting this wonderful document
an amazing nearly "stomping" futuristic jazz aspect of Beethoven's piano creativity which Richter extracts in some of the fastest moments, marvelous pianist
I have one thing to say to you; Thank you ever so much for uploading such a treasure! It lifted my soul in this uncertain time in our life. I absolutely LOVED every bit of it. I heard the composer not the interpreter. THANK YOU!
THE TITAN OF THE PIANO THE GIANT OF THE PIANO Grigory Sokolov! Grigory Sokolov his Chopin piano concerto no 2! Brahms piano concerto no 2! Mozart Piano concerto no 24! Saint-Saens piano concerto no 2! After Grigory Sokolov played These concertos then All The pianists Are really only The DUST ZEROS!
Richter I love you amongst many others too. Thank you for having taken the time to realise this music in your way and with such purity of purpose and strength of heart. Also your Debussy is one of my favourite interpretations.
Have you heard the recordings by Walter Geiseking - in places he runs ribbons over his rivals like Backhaus, "textbook" Brendel, "wayward" Kempff and even the great Richter...
Своим уникальным исполнением Бетховена Рихтер создает необычайную гармонию, музыка живет в его исполнении. Музыка становиться проникновенной и зажигательной. Для меня это образцовое исполнение Бетховена. Спасибо
What an extraordinary and powerful architectural sense. And for each sonata unpredictable decisions that give to the interpretation its depth. Power and depth, that was Richter.
Именно в этом - главное отличие Рихтера от почти всех прочих интерпретаторов Бетховена. В 32-й сонате (её здесь нет) это проявилось уже совершенно с какой-то немыслимой силой и очевидностью.
Beethoven: displaying every emotion, every joy and hardship we face while toying with our ears that only he knew to do. Next to Mozart, he stood alone in grasping every experience of life and translating them into melodic harmony that caresses the soul.
@@SofronichristThe artists you name, and, of course Mr Richter, brought something distinctive to their playing that set each apart from all the others. And, IMO, each has touched us a special way that no other did. I refuse to single out one as the 'greatest' but will acknowledge that a few touch me in certain works as no other can in the same works. I prefer to give thanks that these superb artists have left recordings that can transport me from the mundane to the ethereal.
A gentle giant sitting above and close to the piano with a beautifully controlled touch, a wonderfully controlled phraseology, a perfect sense of tempo, a lack of unwanted ego, artist and instrument in the disciplined service of the composer. Somebody placed him second to Horowitz, but Horowitz did not have the discipline that Richter has. Horowtiz was great, Richter was a genius. The great Gilels lived in Richter's shadow. Richter was a relative latecomer to the piano but was a solid music director and conductor at a very early age. He came to the piano with great understanding of music and its composers. By the way, his Hammerklavier is without compare. His Schumann Waldzenen and Fantasie is incredible, his Schubert Sonatas are fabulous, his Rachmaninov is so powerful etc. etc. Oh, and his playing of the piano with Rostropovich doing the Beethoven cello sonatas at the Edinburgh Festival in 1964 is, I think the greatest demonstration of ensemble piano playing ever given! And that's all I have to say about that.
this recital is in fact very eclectic, even if the only composer is Beethoven, since these sontas are so different from each other !!!!! I think that the genius of Riche can best understod when listening at the last sonata, which is in itself very eclectic. It is wonderful how Richter succeeds in buikding a coherent world with that sonata !!!!!
Gérard Begni very interesting observation. Ending the program on no 12 really does exhibit the eclectic aspect of this performance. Related to this is Beethoven’s genius of transcending the purely classical understanding of the sonata form. If you play Beethoven’s piano sonatas from 1 to 32, it’s truly amazing how he retains the core of thematic development in the sonata form while at the same time transcending the form.
Saw Richter at a recital in Harrogate in 1993. That was extra special like his Beethoven. A superb performance putting all others in the shade. Best pianist of the twentieth century.
THE TITAN OF THE PIANO THE GIANT OF THE PIANO Grigory Sokolov his Chopin piano concerto no 2! Brahms piano concerto no 2! Mozart piano concerto no 24! Saint-Saens piano concerto no 2! After Grigory Sokolov played These concertos then All The others pianists Are really only The DUST ZEROS!!
I struggle to find the word/words to express his musicianship. His command of the instrument is such that he seems to be free to concentrate on the composition, expression and music making. !!!
I always had the impression that he rehearsed until he had the piece down, 80% . And for better, more spontaneous results he winged it for the remaining 20% . He must have been the only one in the whole world who could pull that off , thanks to his superb technique. What else? Oh yeh, all the notes are played crisply. Even in presto and ffff parts. Lat but not least, from my twenties until my fifties I had a 33rpm DGG LP with Prokoviev 's sonata no 8. I was very careful with it , and listened to it, mostly when I was sad and a bit depressed. I can honestly say that this LP has consistly uplifted my spirits. And I never knew who was performing , I barely knew who Prokoviev was and who Richter. It didn't matter.
Until 1960 all pianists sounded good to me until I discovered Richter. Then in the 70's I couldn't tolerate most pianists. This happens to you once start listening to Richter. Today I can listen to Yuja Wang as long as I can get back to Richter.
You said it-this is how I feel about R too.Some works I never lsitened to until I heard R.If I listen to few other pianists...I always come back to R....
Quite the masterpieces played in superb and articulate form. It's hard to play Beethoven with a bit of different style and approach on every sonata whether earlier or later. Also, his recording of the F Minor Brahms Piano Quintet with the Rati Ensemble is one of a kind. He also does the Brahms Paganini variations both a and b. Equally sublime.
An utter tragedy that we should have the irreverent intrusion of adverts in the middle of movements - or at all! We have the re-creation of some of humanity's greatest works if art by a supreme artist, being spat on!
R I C H T E R, der vielseitigste Pianist. Er bezwang jedes Stück eines Komponisten in seine Gewalt, sowohl geistig als auch körperlich (technisch) und ging dabei bis an die Grenzen. Er formt die Stücke zu einer Plastik, wie Michelangelo seine Skulptur. Das Ganze erhält dadurch ein so logisches Verständnis, dass die Kompositionen einem so klar erscheinen. Das nennt man eine Performance par excellence.

Uncanny ability to make the tones fit so evenly and smoothly.

From the day when he still played under normal lighting and without the music in front of him! What a giant among pianists.

He will never be forgotten as long as there's still music.

I saw him in Pasadena in 1965--among other things he played Liszt's Sonata in B Minor-- I will never forget that evening
I confess I haven't often listened to Beethoven's first piano sonata. But after hearing this, Beethoven rings out loud and clear.
Beethoven has served the transition from a classical to a classical-romantic music-style
I hear Mozart in this sonata. As Beethoven continues his revolution, the music gradually fades to his genius, revealing otherworldly pleasures
Прекрасная гениальная музыка в прекрасном гениальном исполнении.
Но она так терзает мою душу.🎹😪
