Thank you so much! Many people don't realise how lucky we are to have YT and people willing to share great gems such as this. Years ago I had to go to Japan to find DVDs with this kind of recordings.
Gorgeous ! Great music played by a great Russian pianist. It's impossible not to love Bach's music, and as Beethoven said, from that Bach (which means "stream" in German), a whole ocean of music flowed. If all young people listened to Bach they would calm down I'm sure, this type of thing has even been tried to calm troublesome teenagers. Thanks for posting this concert from 46 years ago in Moscow.
Замечательный концерт ! Всё исполнено с величайшим чувством , энергией , сливается в единое , цельное музыкальное полотно ! Прекраснейшее исполнение , высший класс !!!
Richter's WTB bk1 is truly great. The b- prelude and fugue is divine and brilliantly interpreted. We all know his Rach 2 is the gold standard by which all others are measured.
Seeing incredible material like this so freely and accessibly gives me hope for both the future of music and technology alike. Masterful performances with moments of exquisite otherworldly beauty. Thank you for taking the time to upload this content - an education and a delight.
Richter is this guitarist's favorite pianist. His BWV 998 has informed my playing of this "lute" piece more than any guitarist's rendering. I later discovered it was written not for lute but for a gut-string keyboard. His easy grace with Bach is the pinnacle of my experience with this composer.
I listened to Richter's recordings of Schumann all night in 1970 before I went to a concert by a pianist who was a student of Clara Schumann, and a classmate of my daughter's piano teacher, playing in Lincoln Center. But I never listened to Richter playing Bach before until tonight. It was absolutely wonderful ! George Wu, A.I.A. 2013-11-5
All his stuff was written for the glory of God, even his secular works. Dude was a genius imbued with talent from God. I don't know how else a human can write such complicated and beautiful works - this is a composer that set the standard benchmark across a large range of categories - e.g. Concerti grossi (Brandenburg Concerti), solo keyboard works (Well Tempered Klavier Books 1 and 2, English, French, and German Suites), solo violin works (Violin Sonatas and Partitas), solo cello partitas (Cello Partitas), solo lute works (Lute Partitas), religious works - the St. Matthew Passion, the St. John passion, numerous religious Christian cantatas including "Sleepers Awake" (better translation is "Wake up calls the Voice") and Jesu, the Joy of Man's Desiring (better translation "Jesus is my joy").
@@badmotherfarker123 You know, Bach actually studied music practically every day for many many hours from adolescence and onwards. Of course he must have had talent in music, but practice is what made him brilliant. Not "God given talent".
The solo keyboard partitas are sometimes known as the German suites. And many people have spent much of their days studying music. I don’t think anyone’s music has reached higher than Bach’s - which is interpreted brilliantly here
You all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
El concierto nº5 de Bach es subleme,es gozar con los oidos y el corazon ,son movimientos que hacen bibrar el alma y tu interior se llena de placer.Gracias Dios por esta maravilla.German (Argentina)
I feel the same way. This is an especially psychedelic interpretation of a sort of psychedelic composition. It feels like some unstoppable surge one is about to dissolve in. BTW my favourite concerto.
Richter plays on the piano and not on harpsichord, but he respects and follows the score as much as piano allows. At the same time, he never reduces the piano to some colourless antique instrument, as some modern Historically Informed Performers (HIP) do. So yes, I consider this to be an authentic interpretation, in the spirit of Bach, not literally as some modern talentless HIPsters try to educate us.
That's a culture thing. I can't believe myself what a shift of culture I am living through. From an attitude of self control, self containment, into a culture of balancing opposing interests without rather than within our selves. Bach's emotions sometimes set his fists into motion too, but, generally, I understand his music like projecting all the dissonances of social life into ones mind and balancing them within.
Why does the voice-over say that Richter would play it closely to what Bach had meant, while he is playing on a piano and the violinists around him are playing very romantic?
I love this version, but I can't help myself preferring Gould and Bernstein's version. Especially Ritcher's interpretation of 13:13 compared to Gould's interpretation here as I see it here I prefer Gould.
I have to admit this strange big harpsichord - FortePiano called - sounds better than my old harpsichord would have. Nice. Surprising. J S Bach vom Graben so ist est.
Piano or harpsichord, it does not matter, I find both equal for Bach's music, I cannot solve the problem, if there is a problem. Another little thing is the recording here, not perfect, microphones seem too closed to the instruments,and the piano sounds a bit loud. But anyway the notes of a piano sound louder than a harpsichord, notes are clearer, it can be an advantage at some moments in Bach's Concerti, and sometimes an handicap. For solo pieces, piano is better than the Harspichord for the expression, the feeling. Just a personnal opinion.
Mmmh, there's probably a recording of this (or similar) in the vast Richter discography. Here are two examples: ruclips.net/video/I73tndGNi3Y/видео.html And: www.allmusic.com/album/rachmaninov-piano-concerto-no-1-bach-piano-concerto-bwv-1052-mw0001854964
Lijkt mij een interessante job! Had nog nooit van het bestaan van die job gehoord. Volgens mij zijn er ook vele pianisten door Michelangeli beïnvloed. En nu zijn er Volodos, Lang Lang, Yuja Wang en vele andere fenomenale pianisten... Hoe gaan musici als Schnabel, Fischer, Cortot en andere hun plaats in de nabije toekomst behouden ? Gegroet, Geert Dehoux, pianist.
I first heard Richter on record playing Schumann and loved it. Then Rachmanoff concertos, Tchaivosky etc. (larger works). Wonderful!There is a lot to be said for his playing of Bach too, but I do not think it competes with Gould, Hewitt and others, particular for dynamics. The piano expresses dynamics very effectively even when playing Bach and I find his renditions somewhat lacking in that respect.
Well there apples and oranges: Richter and Gould, - Richter never played Goldberg Variations - i think his Italian Concerto is as good as anyones playing.
@simcha181818 я согласен с Вами! у них разные стили исполнения, у Рихтера всё же главный репертуар - героический и романтический, Бетховен, в частности, Шуберт. Но энергетика его!! Спасибо за ответ
So lucky to be a human being and listen to Richter playing Bach
Thank you so much! Many people don't realise how lucky we are to have YT and people willing to share great gems such as this. Years ago I had to go to Japan to find DVDs with this kind of recordings.
It is like Bach himself is sitting there having fun and so have we!!!!
his hands tell it all

Both Richters (Karl and Sviatoslav) are great at Bach in their own way.
Brilliant master itself will open our souls for this ethernal music
Thank you Bach! Thank you Richter! Thank you for uploading :)
he is my favourite interpret of Bach

After I played with fire I come down and listen to this music and I feel myself safe and calm. God Bless JSB & S.R.! Amen !
Richter's playing is as natural as water cascading
One of my most favourite concerts of great Richter alongside with late Oleg Kagan and Natalia Gutman. What a pleiad!
Natasha Ditkivska Who are the other four?
cycloptical26
Bach par Richter, juste merveilleux
22:21-25:11 Richter's great solo!
What a useless camera man
It really is great. Only one other person would have been able to do that with equal ease, or greater: Earl Wild.
Sviatoslav Richter ist ein musikalischer Gigant, ein wahrer Übermensch, einem Engel gleich den es versehentlich auf die Erde verschlagen hat...
grazie
It is formidable. The Bach-Richter merger is a perfect marriage. Great!!! thanks Stanislav
LOL He's not Stan...He's Svyat.
Svyatoslav means "Holy Glory"
Roma Pupilla Oh wow didn’t know that!
Thanks Stanley 😊
I like it, I like it.
Bravo !!!!❤️.

saw him play twice NYC and Scotland --just dazzling!
Can't believe RUclips would drop a commercial in the middle of this video

The quality of every moment, every note, thus every step of one’s life. Great lesson.
Desde pequeña lo escucho. Península de Yucatán ❤️ ,México. Exelente orquestá con Richter. 😄.
My favorite Richter ! Thank you Quentin for this sharing with Bach.
Нет слов! Замечательно!!!!!
приятно слушать любимую музыку в исполнении великих мастеров
wow...lt is formidable...perfect !!!
Awesome.
Richter è un genio... celestiale di esasperante bellezza.
Bach’s music seems divinely inspired.

I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
Sie Glückspilz! Man kann Ihnen nur gratulieren! Wie beneidenswert!❤
Perfect!
excellent organization of video notes, thanks
Richter, credo sia il più grande pianista del '900.
Das ist er ohne Zweifel! Ja, Richter ist der größte Pianist des 20.Jahrhunderts und auch der liebenswerteste!
Perfect.
Merci !
Perfect recording excellent performance.
I absolutely love Bach's music.
Bach's music can relieve much pain. It's an extraordinary gift to mankind.
wonderful,more please.
Amazing!
pure gold
One of the greatest pianist .... God stopped making pianist like Richter
Beautiful upload !
A lot of thanks
El. violinista. le da más vida al con i
El violín. acompaña tan bien gran violín. 👍.
No sabía que son tres. 🇲🇽.
Richter is very unique in his playing, but for some reason in a way not to stop listening. Wonderful pianist.
Amazing pianist!
I saw him play twice
El concierto nº5 de Bach es subleme,es gozar con los oidos y el corazon ,son movimientos que hacen bibrar el alma y tu interior se llena de placer.Gracias Dios por esta maravilla.German (Argentina)
So many played those times are now no more
RIP to those great souls 😪😪😪
🪦🪦🪦🪦⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️.
Fa venire i brividi pensare che Oleg Kagan, tra pochi anni verrà a mancare. Una perdita immensa!
Cool experiment! In the 21st century we have far better understanding of Bach than ever thanks to early tryings like this one.
Beautiful !
Thanks
gripping performance ...
Such beautiful transparency in the Brandenburg Concerto only to be spoiled by the flute being consistently sharp throughout.
Damn purists...this is lovely
I feel the same way. This is an especially psychedelic interpretation of a sort of psychedelic composition. It feels like some unstoppable surge one is about to dissolve in. BTW my favourite concerto.

WOW!
Дорогого стоит услышать такое своими ушами!
We called Bach," the Father of Music" when I was in China. George Wu, A.I.A. 2013-11-5
magic speech of dictor
hope to find this play as an album!

*Sviatoslav Richter plays Bach* Most extraordinary production values, but gripping.
Wow,Grossartig! Wunderbares Stück von Bach, sehr, sehr gut gespielt!
Angélique Duvier
eine wunderbare Aufnahme
Maybe my favorite pianist of all time!Am I the only one who doesn' t like camera men at such concerts???
Классная запись

how? can? such beauty
Grande !!!

so many empty words, in the beginning and in the background. When you have Richter, you don't need words.

How can i found 2nd and 3rd movement played by Richter

Glenn Gould is the best ..
