Karl Richter was in addition to being a conductor and musician extraordinaire simply simply one of the best organists I've ever heard. I had the extremely memorable pleasure of attending a rare all Bach recital he have gave Easter Sunday April 22, 1976 at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. I'll never forget it. It was standing room only but I had a seat very near the organ console and had an extremely good view of his performance. The ovation was tremendous to which he gave multiple encores.
I mistyped the date! It was April 18, 1976. I still have the flyer/ poster from that recital! And the ticket price? $5.00 ! After that performance I was able to personally thank Mr Richter and shake his hand. Years later I was saddened by his untimely passing.
