Thanks to hotbebimauz! - เพลง
At 24:00 he said that he feels at home in most places, except America, London, some Nordic countries and... Germany! Neuhaus said that every artist has Italy as a second fatherland... Richter said at 26:10 that he is half German, half Russian, and can have the best of these two worlds, as he had immense knowledge of both Russian and German culture... while he certainly was in love with French Art (and as we can see here, also with French wine!)
Thanks for posting this wonderful rare interview!
This is deeply moving... one of the biggest treasures I ever found on youtube. Thank you very much for posting! Richter: What an amazing artist, what a humble human being. I saw one of Richter's last concerts in Germany at age 13, leaving an enormous impression on me. Getting him to "know" so personally through this video is just magical...
i couldn't have said it better, what a wonderful person, i feel very connected with him
This great man used to perform in places where no great artists go, in small remote villages, far countries... inspiring simple people. So unusual, so incredibly great!
Given his monumental artistry Richter always retained a humble charm and simplicity of character. He was a devoted servant to what he perceived as musical truth in performance and could easily discern between bogus posturing and musical integrity in other performers.
A much missed giant.
Thank you for this wonderful film!And for the translation! Richter is really a marvelous person!
Wow! I am impressed with this man! He is half drunk and still has wise things to say to all of us. He is "Himself", and does not care about what you or I may think. Kind, warm, simple and genial.... Who cares if we are sober, vegan or vegetarian if we have nothing worth to say? Love this guy. He is the model of imperfect Humanity at its best!
Guy is you. It's a strange familiarity to call the musician who is so respectful and kind towards his listeners in such a way. If you d only know that he didn't visit Armenia ever after such an attitude and called Armenian composer Babajanian as lazy but talented and so on, understand?
...it is so true, he is a master
Trivial and shallow , yet imperfect observation

Am I only one who doesn't have a sound on this video?
Samee
So enjoyed this video. Many thanks to whomever made this possible. Richter will always be remembered as one of the greatest pianists ever.
There is no sound !
Apparently filmed in 1979 in that the speaker at one point said that it had been 15 years since Richter first played in Tours in 1964.
Both Richters at 21:00 talking about tempo issues and the German Richter in his nonchalantly saxon manner of speaking! You made my day!
no sound?
Oh, such a treasure! Awaiting the english translation, please....
I am willing to translate it for you - how do I add the subtitles?
And the sound??
Was für ein wundervoller Mensch und Künstler
The journalist is so awful and insensitive. He's talking like a moron about composers and modesty, as if he wants to impress the viewer.
Richter on the other hand had such a kind and friendly personality.
Ja...das ist leider dieses Pseudointellektuelle Besserwissertum...das vielen Künstlern...besonders in Deutschland entgegenschlägt !
Wirklich erstaunlich ist das nicht: Deutschland war immer ein reichhaltiger Nährboden für intellektuelles Potenzial. Aber es kann auch immer nach hinten losgehen.
I suggest to watch what Rozhdenstvennsky had to say about Richter's "friendliness"
Really? What did he say?
@@Hajnikovmuz could you share a link to a video?
I like his "und" so much ! 😄
9:50 From Richter to Richter.
Wow! Two legends together!
Can't hear the audio
To see Richter getting tipsy and going all raconteur is enormously entertaining and relaxing. This video is best watched with a bottle of good Mosel.
This is wonderful. Thank you for posting!
No sound, just a bit of whistling noise which perhaps might resemble the high frequencies of human speech. In essence no sound. What happened???
Fantastisch! Tausend Dank!
this is great, thanks so much for the upload! it is funny how much Richter interrupts the interviewer... sometimes as if he is waiting for him to speak so he can interrupt. thank you also for the translations, fantastic
No sound?
I saw this beautiful Richter Portrait already in the 1970´s or early 80´s I am not quite sure but a long period before the Monsaingeon 'enigma'. Very interesting what he said about Mozart, pretty subjective but true: ' Ich habe doch den Schlüssel zu Mozart noch nicht gefunden, alles was er schreibt, ist schrecklich schwer, bei Haydn leicht!'
dann sagte er sinngemäß noch:' was ist das mit Mozart? [hält inne], keine Antwort'
Mozart was in fact a enigma for Richter but he didnt play him that bad!
16:30 - заходящее солнце заглянуло в окно. Прощальный привет.
2 Richter's at once!
You´re very lucky.No any person can tell listened to one of greatest pianist ever!!!
No sound ?
English title but no sub Great
Sviatoslav c'est mon ami
No sound?
Mozart is the most difficult composer to play - like he said. But it´s not only because of the difficulties to find a sense for his works - it´s also the deep respect for them that make them hard to play. You´ll always think: Do I torture him right now? Is this the right Interpretation? And this bastard doesn´t give you any hints - most of the time.
+anonymusum I have an exact opinion of Beethoven and I find Mozart the second hardest composer to play,after Ludwig
+Nikita Stepanenko I was not talking about technical difficulties. I meant the problems in finding a right interpretation at all. In this issue Beethoven is very clear and obvious, Mozart is just the opposite - mostly.
anonymusum beethoven's music is very UNclear and certainly not obvious at all... how can you say that?! his piano sonatas are like symphonies for piano, they can be played so many ways, there are too many details that may be solved differently, but still beautifully, unlike major part of Mozart's works, especially his works in major keys are usually light, joyful, smiling, sunshining ( I prefer mozart's dark and minor key pieces such as his requiem, piano concerti c minor and d minor, a minor and c minor sonata or fantasy in c minor)
+Nikita Stepanenko Ok, ok - I am wrong and Richter is wrong as well and all my professors at the conservatory were wrong and ... all wrong and you are right.
anonymusum how can you be so sure about any composer that interpretation of his music is very clear and obvious?! I told you that I think that finding a correct interpretation in Beethoven's works is the hardest thing ever and Mozart's works are second hardest to me personally...
Karl Richter and Oleg Kagan are playing the concerto n.3 in D BWV 1054: sublime!
Er heißt nicht Karl sondern Sviatoslav!
@@markuskohler1196 Hier ist zwei Richter, Karl und Sviatoslav. Karl ist ein Organist, Cembalist und Diregent .
I have no sound !😢
Richter's german is amazingly good, his choice of words is very precise, better than many Germans. And he seems to understand the german of the interviewer. I never saw him so serene, friendly and open. Generally he looks quite serious, almost gloomy.
A pity that the interviewer did not do a better job. He does not really seem up to the task, luckily Richter was in a good mood and did his best to communicate some of his ideas. Maybe the alcohol.
You do realize he is like half-german?
His name is "richter"
@@albertweedsteinthethuggeni7797 Well, doesn't mean he has actually learned the language as a child. Could be just his grand- parents or something. Anyway. A great artist he was.
@@bernios3446 his dad was german
@@albertweedsteinthethuggeni7797 And was arrested and shot for being one by the NKVD when Richter was a child. Very traumatic. He talked about it years later in another interview.
Я не устаю удивляться его гению и каждый раз жду нового чуда. Спасибо, Рихтер!
Merci pour l'explication et merci, merci pour la traduction !
tipsy or not ,he is a great artist and a charming man ,the interviewer gets on my last nerve, I really dont give a shit what his opiniated ideas are, GOD.... how annoying can you get.
i agree
а где звук?
grand merci .
Unfortunately there is no sound...
Oh,wie großartig...Dankeschön ❤
@pianopera >I think the later interview of Monsaingeon shows a much more profound and interesting Richter
If you remember his notebooks, Richter more than once makes unfavorable comments on the film and Johannes Schaaf himself.
I cried, and I am 33.
Subtitles please?
The first piece is not the cembalo concierto No. 1 in d minor but the cembalo concierto No.3 in D major, second movement, Adagio in b minor.
Not true, the title is correct this is the second movement of the D minor concerto BWV 1052, Adagio in g minor. You can find the score on IMSLP.
Right.
It has been translated. There's a link to download the English translation in the box below the video
When glen gould Soviet, he met richter and he really liked him.👏👏👏💐💐💐
Thank you,

No me. Llega el sonido ,lastima!
This is amazing, especially since he spoke german that well!
He was German by blood
Why this video has no sound? please help me. Thanks, Lauri
This film has never been released on DVD.Maybe on VHS long ago. It's just circulating among Richter fans.

Нет. Звука!!!
COSA SUONA DIVINAMENTE RICHTER ? -VISIBILE PER TUTTI
Apart from the stunning pictures of the very relaxed maestro there are his views on composers such as Mozart at the end of the interview. Thanks Belshep, highly interesting upload.

He understood English quite well and was a charming man to at least one fan. Sadly missed.

Beautiful 🎹🎶
Боже, какое счастье быть соотечественником такого великого музыканта.
Die Deutsche sollen stoltz auf Richter sein und nicht dem Karajan Hymne singen.
Auf mich als Deutscher wirkt er eher russisch, obwohl er auch deutsche Wurzeln hat und die Sprache sehr gut spricht, wenn auch mit russischem Akzent. Ich kenne die russische Mentalität recht gut, weil ich russische Lehrer hatte und mit mehreren russischen Kollegen zusammenarbeite. Svjatoslav Richter ist für mich nicht so sehr "Deutscher" oder "Russe", sondern vor allem Svjatoslav Richter.
Dass ich Richter zweimal live hören durfte, betrachte ich als großes Glück. Das waren unglaubliche Offenbarungen und welche Rolle spielt dann noch die Herkunft?
Interessant finde ich auch, dass sein Lehrer Heinrich Neuhaus ebenso vielfältige Wurzeln hatte. Aber diese sind bei zahlreichen Künstlern festzustellen, die vordergründig als Russen betrachtet werden. Dies gilt um so mehr, wenn man die Lebenläufe ihrer Lehrer mit einbezieht.
funklover24 aber er selbst wollte dass er als deutscher gesehen wird. Er hat es mehrmals in Interviews betont. Letztendlich geht es um ein eigenes Empfinden und nicht die prozentuelle Zusammensetzung des Blutes.
@@waltermayer9600 Hier in diesem Interview sagt er halbe halbe. Kannst Du etwas verlinken, wo er sich eindeutiger ausdrückt? Ich möchte ihm natürlich nicht das Wort im Munde umdrehen. ;)
funklover24 es gibt ein Film von Bruno Monsaingeon "der unbeugsame". Dort kann man die deutsche Untertiteln lesen. (Episode, wo Karajan sich erlaubt etwas unsensibles im Bezug auf die Nationalität des Richters zu sagen) .Ovwohl er auch selbst dort auf deutsch sagt: "also, ich bin ein deutscher".Und es gibt noch ein Doku aus der sovietischer Zeit. Aber nur auf Russisch. Das habe ich damals im Fernseher selbst gesehen. Wie man dieses Interview findet, weiß ich ehrlich nicht.
@@waltermayer9600 Danke für die Informationen. :)
Перевел бы это интервью кто-нибудь на русский... Было бы здорово.
Зачем?Слушайте Рихтера и всё поймете.
20:10
27:42. 28:02
He says his father was a German from Poland and his mother was Russian but half-German with a lot of Polish ancestry as well. So he's 75% German ethnically.
No se oye.
A lot of thanks !
thank you very much!!!

Ever get around to it? I'm really curious to what he's saying...
probably you have to learn german language! :P ^^ german with heavy russian accent
@@Maximilian2808its not that heavy tbh, it's a joy to listen to imo
Unfassbar, wie gut Richter Deutsch sprach- hätte ich nie gedacht!
Why? German was his native language
Merci!!!
@pianopera
Dear Erwin,
I know you are not precisely a schoolboy ;-) and I didn't have any doubt
that you are familiar with the pleasures of a good wine! …
I just didn’t want that people could get a wrong impression from your comment! Honestly, it sounded a bit sarcastic to me, and stereotypes are so easy to follow... Anyway, I’m sorry if I have overreacted, I’m probably a bit paranoid with conservatives now in power in my country!;-)
Best wishes!
Are there still ethnic Germans in Russia? (like Richter, not the immigrant type)
No, you don't have to know Russian or sign in. After you click the link here, type the digits in the box below and then click the green button Скачать (download)
I wish I would understand German. My computer doen't allow yandex for some reason. Well,.. after all, there is great music by great performer that does not need to be translated. Thanks for posting.
Yes, it would be great if you send it to me so that I could post it in the description area. I plain haven't had the time for this and by now only gone as far as making the German transcript Thanks!
Гений...
Interview or Bach? Why does it take so long to listen to the spoken words of Richter? We all know that Richter was one of the best pianists of his time.
On parle ici de MESLAY-DU-MAINE le chef-lieu du canton de la Mayenne ? Je vous-en remercie d'avance.
@pianopera
Dear Erwin,
in France and the mediterranean countries, wine is an essential part of Culture: it is unconceivable to have a relaxed, educated and personal talk among friends without the inspiring company of a good wine! The more subtle and complex is the wine, more elevated the ideas! ;-)
Don't let the "anglo-saxon politically correct castrating attitude" ruin some of the most precious and pleasent moments in life!
Except the interviewer’s questions and manners, almost everything is good. Richter, good as always. But also, the town, people, buildings, and other environmental details are authentic, full of life, and real.
Grazie mille!!!!!! But please.... anyone who knows german, please subtitle this.... I understand the music....and I understand French Countryside and I understand Richer and I understand Bach....but no german.
I get itchy from those people who start every single sentence with "but....". Or 'aber', for that matter. Argumentative, not exploratory or curious.
@newFranzFerencLiszt I'll get around to posting the English translation
Beings like S. Richter never fail to fascinate me. He appears to be so different when he sits and play than when he talks.
The way he sits naturally in front of the piano, in what seems to be a man being in his most natural state, gently but firmly turns the pages and then with a brilliant energy start playing the music, bringing forth the most beautiful tone. All while looking stern sometimes, other times genuinely playful like the way a little baby would play with their toy. It’s amazing.
I so love this man...what an idealist...
Open the box under the video - there's the English translation link
