Live recording, Moscow, 3.V.1978 - เพลง
This was Richter’s favourite Schubert’s sonata. And the tempo and all delicacy that he put on this interpretation is simply moving. One should cry and applaud.
Yes, you can hear that Richter loves this. I have this on a cd and I put it often in my car, emotion guaranteed.
There are million pieces of music, and then you find a flower of light like this, like Schubert. A look over the world, a talk with God, the beauty and the kindness.
Grazie. " E' così" (S.C.)
Thank you 🙏! You are absolutely quite right! It’s a talk with God! And we can be together in our flight to Heaven!
But it takes a genius like Sviatoslav Richter who gives the flower a brilliant appearance! What a performance, what superb poetry and artistry. Very few piano players come close to Richter, if anyone does in my opinion.
I love it that Richter plays many Schubert sonatas slower than "normal" or what is indicated on the score.
He really is the master of emotion and romanticism and also technically unsurpassed. Richter is a absolute miracle!!

Die heilsame Magie welche Sviatoslav Richter aus den Klängen Schubert'scher Kompositionen erstehen läßt, ist der Ruhe und der nötigen Zeit die er diesen Klängen zugesteht zu verdanken!
In den Zwischenräumen der Töne findet etwas statt, welches sich nicht greifen läßt und doch anwesend ist...
@@gerlindeczech8524
Genau! Vielen Dank !
Thank god for Sviatoslav Richter, his genius and his hardheadedness!
"The interpreter is really an executant, carrying out the composer's intentions to the letter. He doesn't add anything that isn't already in the work. If he is talented, he allows us to glimpse the truth of the work that is in itself a thing of genius and that is reflected in him. He shouldn't dominate the music, but should dissolve into it." -S.Richter
what a humble man
Spoken as the genius he is. One genius met another
If you love the slow tempo of Richter’s Schubert Piano sonata, you’ll love his slow tempo interpretation of Rachmaninov’s Prelude for a Dying Infant - incredibly moving. This is Richter at 63yo, the mature pianist who brings to his performances the depth and breadth of his life experiences. You can sense this in the performances of Gregory Sokolov today. They each had attained many accolades so they’re not trying to prove themselves, they are solely focused on sharing their extraordinary relationship with the musical compositions, how they find their life inside the music.
Richter playing the "late" Schubert ..... this is a unique , unique beauty ....
Interprétation éblouissante, inoubliable. C'est une autre planète. Un autre monde de la musique. Richter était un génie, pénétré de la musique de Schubert .
Un autre monde vous avez raison...un monde mystérieux et énigmatique, comment révéler les choses ineffables de cette musique sublime ? Richter en avait le secret.
poetic, speculative, romantic, passionate, passimistic, pure lyric, melanchorious. little sorrowful. childlike joyfulness.
"melanchorious" LMFAO
This listener really knows and feels this music. Very descriptive despite the English. I hope to feel all this listener feels.
This is an astonishing performance. And only Richter could play such a slow tempo and still make it work.
I don't think the first movement does work at this ridiculously slow tempo. It sounds mannered, and at times, laboured.
@@stephencox7628 Its not even a particularly slow tempo. Its what I know as the nature of Schuberts music. I also find the tempo very suitable and very nice to get the highest depth of all notes. Thats why I almost only hear Schubert recordings by Brendel, cause he really feels the calm Schubert put into his music. Best example D960 II. compared to other pianists is a difference like day and night. But with Richter its similar here. Really indescribably good.
@@stephencox7628 Please read “Schubert Everlasting” (American Scholar magazine).
I am not very pleased with the slow tempi that Richter applies to his Schubert interpretations. But it is only the first movement. The last movement is played quite fast I would say. This having written I have to point out that I am a real fan of Richter. S.Richter :)
@@hanshartmann8205 It's part of Richter's own interpretation - actually most critical aspect. What really matters is to keep tight tonal and phrasal balance even in the slowest moment - which I believe this recording exhibits. I once heard a comment (by a master musician) that a performer may take longer time if she/he has a lot of stories to tell. Richter apparently found many Schuberts stories in this regard - I think I'm truly lucky and fortunate to meet this performance allowing discovery of Schubert and himself
I remember when I came across a recording of Richter playing this piece. I was baffled and I'm not sure I got to the end of the first movement. How could the opening movement of a sonata be so slow, I wondered. Several years later I tried again and listened, hardly able to breathe, to the whole thing. Time changes our perspectives, not least in our own life experiences. Somehow this music tells you that, however bad it gets, there is always something round the corner.
For me Richter finds extraordinary depth in this mysterious music and, for all his power, it is the gentle, rocking lyricism that I find utterly absorbing.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Auch hier ist von den ersten Anschlägen an zu spüren, wie der Pianist das individuelle Gesetz des Sonatensatzes erkennt und diesem unbeirrbar im Geist des Komponisten folgt: Alles fügt sich in unaussprechlicher Schönheit...
Far beyond words...
So beautiful ~~ S.Richter is the Best ever!!!
I think that this slow tempo brings a special atmosphere to this masterpiece ! This music sounds extra-earthly !
Magnificent. No words to describe such a rendition.
I just stumbled across this guy now in my late 20s. Shame on me.
You can tell straight away he used to be one of those rare interpretors with the heart of a true artist. He listens deeply to the sounds, instead of performing emotions, it's authentic, it's like a breeze, when he plays.
You are way ahead of me. I only discovered Richter in my 60s. Am now 74 and loving him more than ever.
you're way ahead of me too, I've only discovered Richter this year, and I'm in my 40s. No shame though; only too grateful to have found such a gem of an artist.
Non ci sono parole. Un musicista sconvolgente.
Lyrical piece..Only Richter is able to play this as it should be..his interpretation and rendition of this piece is Great :)
Best performance ever given at a lung clinic.
43 years old....and still nobody can do better than Ritcher. he's floating in some far milky way.
If you are referring to Richter, he was 63 in 1978.
@@jamesnickoloff6692 iwas talking about the recording...sorry my english is not so clear...
@@paolofrigeriomusic3691 Thanks, Paolo. Yes, you are right: after 43 years no one can do better than Richter in my opinion. And I love your image of him floating is some faraway Milky Way. And your English is good.
Richter's artistically creative interpretations are unique and unrivalable
Thank you Mr Richter for making this possible, for letting Franz Schubert talk so deeply, so truthfully, so directly to our hearts, for this pure emotion. Tears drop from my eyes, but maybe, in the end, we are not totally alone and there is something universal we can share, that lasts, and that distinguishes us positively as humans
Schubert's late music often transcends into other worlds but where Richter takes it seems beyond mortal reach. This is such a beautiful performance that I feel I have never really heard it before.
Al Thomas, I agree, although Gould playing it as he played Turkish March must be very very close. I play it nightly as relaxant, just wonderful!
Overwhelming! I've heard nothing to compare with this EVER before. A revelation!! A complete re-envisioning of this work that lifts it into new heights of expressive power and emotional and aesthetic impact. Just every note so right, so true.... He finds the kindred spark of genius that Beethoven recognised in Schubert. Just so totally gripping, it's hard to describe...
Beethoven hated Schubert
@@elibamberger5104 sources?
@@elibamberger5104 depended on his mood, also loved him
@@Farahmand1010 Good question!
If one can have the geduld and the zitzfleish one can go tripping off to the Angels of Schubert…😊Nothing less than magnificent
I love this!
grazie
Impressiona-me particularmente esta obra de Schubert... de interpretação dificilima, presumo. Expressar a atmosfera psicológica (tempestiva, entediada, revolta, dolorosa, eu sei lá que mais...) desta obra - e como a entendo - da forma como o faz Richter não tem paralelo, que é insuperável. E basta compará-la com outras interpretações de grandes pianistas que, no caso, ficam bem atrás desta magistral execução
Extraordinary
I was in a bad virus mood until I heard the MAESTRO
Un genio no habia cumicacion como ahora se hubiera podido ir a oirlo , al pais que estuviera ..
I must add: Richter plays this Schubert sonata as music is speaking with itself.

Stupendo.
Nice
Tiefempfundene live Interpretation dieses Schwanengesangs von Schubert mit feinem Schlag und angeborener Lyrik sowie ohne überflüssige Agogik. Keine anderen Pianisten habe im 21. Jahrhundert ihn überstiegen. Echt unvergleichlicher Pianist!
Mis noches entre sonatas
Esto es espectacular y yo no me cansaré nunca de escuchar una interpretación así, comparen con otras y verán.
Whau......tempo and pauses.... blessed !
Keith Jarrett was so right when he said, "There is a moment in silence and between notes which is bliss but if you cough, you ruin it.'
Damn all those coughers...lol
Seriously!
@@AndrewJYang-yy5bn Yes.
I agree. So perhaps this should have been recorded in a studio. Live performances risk ruin.
Personally, I never attend live concerts anymore.
I prefer a quiet room at home.... lights low. Good quality electronics and excellent coffee.
@@renzo6490 You cannot beat a live performance, and In Moscow in winter there are going to be people who cough. Richter more than anyone would have understood that and it would not have bothered him in the slightest. Richter did not care at all for his studio recordings.Frankly, Keith Jarrett is a vain and pretentious martinet, not worthy of even opening the keyboard lid for the master
@@jeremyd1021- Well, here we must disagree.
I don't seek to change your opinion.Let those who wish to do so attend live concerts. In the case of rock concerts and such, being part of a crowd enhances the experience.The music is loud and an explosive cough from the audience will have no effect on the mood.
But classical music, sonatas, concertos , chamber pieces and even the andante movement of symphonies require, to my mind, an atmosphere free of distraction.
No coughing, no rustling of paper, no foul smell of tobacco, no overbearing perfumes, no chatter, no tiny lights illuminating the program, no humming along ( ! ) no crinkle of cellophane wrapped candies!
The composer and the performer deserve better.
I would gladly sit and listen to Richter play Schubert live if I were the only person present. But that would be impractical.
Just because performing to large crowds is profitable does not mean it is a good arrangement for enjoying the music.
5:49 favorit part
A recording like this one makes me worry less about my piano being out of tune (and more about my timing skills and ability to maintain tension in long slow pieces).
Sokolov and Arrau played this sonata also great.
Arrau really did
Arrau really did a very wood rendering of this sonata. But Richter's slowlyness of de first movement has a diferent, personal, emotional view of this marvelous music. Greetings from Chile.
Sonata No 16 in G (1826,D 894).
Sonata No 18 in A (1828,D 959).
At least so in ,6th ed.,2013.
Someone began to die at 3:37, continued dying at 3:54, spitted a chung of lung at 4:01, other began to die as well, another chung of lung at 4:45, pneumonia at 4:53...behind the sacred music the coughing animal
Could it be 2nd of may, not the 3rd?
I'm pretty sure he played it on both dates, and both performances were recorded. I have both on CD. Bizarrely, the timings of the finale are 13'20" on 2 May and 7'28" on 3 May. Those would indicate that this is indeed the performance from 3 May. I don't have a score so I'm not sure if the difference is accounted for by optional repeats or a memory lapse which led to some repetition. I heard him play this sonata in Aldeburgh in the 70s. On that occasion he repeated the finale as an encore.
Ya! Ya! Ya!

In t'he Oxford Diccionary of Music: Sonata No.16 in G(1826,D894),No.18 in A(1828,D959). What is now right? Thanks in advance.
After "Music" please add the word "reads". The article is obviously "the" and not t'he".

El ova uzum tents sirun mahana.
It's a wonderful performance. There are some unfortunate things. The tempo of the fourth movement is too fast, and Schubert's work is not fully utilized. Since he was performing in 1978, it is impossible for Richter to weave in 21st century sensibilities. This piano sonata by Schubert also embraces the sensibilities of the 21st century. That's my personal opinion.
Beautiful performance but I would have preferred less accompanying audience participation. Radu Lupu has a wonderful recording with a silent background.
Try Richter's recording made in Germany, december 1979..
I despise live recordings in general.
But Richter didn’t like performing in a studio
@@renzo6490 You should hear Richter's Decca's 1986 live recording of Haydn sonata 2,24,32 and 46, it is magic, in the end, you can smell the rain :)

Richter était sans aucun doute génial, il pouvait être sidérant, époustouflant, bouleversant,. Le tempo extrêmement lent qu’il choisit dans la D.960 de Schubert est magnifique, d’une incroyable profondeur... d’une désespérance indicible devant la mort prochaine. Et pourtant, cette même lenteur plus extrême encore dans la D894 m’a toujours paru outrancière (et à la limite du supportable dans ce premier mouvement qu’il n’en finit plus de ralentir).
A chacun sa propre sensibilité. En ce qui me concerne, bien qu’étant un admirateur inconditionnel de Richter, je n’adhère pas à ces mouvements d’extases qu’il suscite dans les commentaires que j’ai lus. Ce tempo est, pour moi, simplement forcé, erroné et m’irrite plus qu’il ne me touche.
Le tempo choisi par Volodos me paraît être celui qui convient le mieux à cette merveilleuse sonate. Son interprétation qui se situe entre les deux extrêmes que sont Gieseking (difficile de faire plus vite) et Richter (difficile de faire plus lent) est d’une immense beauté.
Je fais partie de ceux qui aiment cette interprétation (1978) mais Richter lui-même peut faire plus lent (Moscou 1979):

Un peu trop lent , moins bon à mes oreilles. A chacun ses oreilles.
I'm not happy about his slowing down of the First Movement... let us say that it is an interesting experiment
but I think he has got the Third Movement exactly right

Arrau best ever...
+Robinson Tapia, Claudio Arrau is/was a superb pianist and, though a Chilean, a shining example of the German school of piano playing.
With all due respect, however, Arrau is nowhere near the league of Karl Richter when it comes to musicality, poetic feeling and prodigious virtuosism.
We have both expressed our opinion, and I will leave it at that.
This isn't Karl Richter--he was a conductor. This is Sviatoslav Richter, the late Russian pianist.
'A Soviet pianist of German ancestry'.
Only the father is german ancestry. The mother is russian. Richter was born in Zitomir, Ukraine, in 1915. Lived the major part of life in Moscow. He studied in the Moscow Conservatory in Heirich Neuhaus´s class.
However much one may admire this performance, Richter flagrantly disregards Schubert's tempo markings - the first movement way too slow, the last too fast. So if you're looking for a "faithful" performance you won't find it here.
Too slow, too fast... Nobody cares about it, except you sir. What I hear there is simply the most magnificient rendering of this piece, the rest doesn't matter. There's a reason why Richter's Schubert is so legendary: it's even better than what the composer himself had in mind. I played the first movement of this sonata, and it simply isn't convicing if one plays exactly what Schubert wanted, including his tempo indication.
@@Farahmand1010 it can be convincing. Not in everyone's hands though.
@@euclidtheorem4817 You're right. But I don't find it convincing and it seems that the majority or people prefer Richter's slow tempo (oh, how strange!...). I can play it as good as any professional pianist, but it will simply a little dreamy salon piece - this is how it sounds in your so called "right hands".
@@Farahmand1010 Do you think that Brendel isn't convincing?
@@euclidtheorem4817 No, I don't. I find it extremely weak. Not musically but artistically.
Враження ніби Ріхтер грає невихованим чехоточним зекам десь в сибірських уранових шахтах - слухати як ті засмаркані рускі старичкі всю дорогу кашляють і пердять... нереально (((
Йди, куди йшов, невігласе. Не для людей із ненавистю у печінках Шуберт писав свої сонати, а Ріхтер їх виконував.
esagerata la lentezza del primo tempo
+Giuseppe Lozza ma esagerata bene.

No
Why is schuber so boring
because your are heart deaf.
@@LeondeLure schubert is not for me. I like schuman and brahms more
The problem with the first movement is an ungainly structure that rambles on interminably. But most commentators seem to love it. Of course, Richter plays it exquisitely.
Well, if you are talking about slipcases maybe you have a bad memory of having hard time reading difficult books in those cases!
