La profondità di Richter è ineguagliabile. Uoutube mi ha consentito di confrontare questa esecuzione con tante altre ... Ebbene nessuna mi ha fatto emozionare e gioire così tanto. Il tempo un po' più lento, il fraseggio mai meccanico, il tocco straordinario. Ascolto e mi dico ..." com è bello". Richter non sempre crea la magia , ma quando riesce, è proprio insuperabile. Una ricchezza espressiva straordinaria.
8:41 Richter’s rendition, especially on this piece, sounds so matter of fact yet every note becomes special. Far more gracious than any else that I heard. Mesmerizing.
For some reason I love to listen to Richter's soothing and relaxing interpretations during spring with the birds chirping and singing outside the open balcony door.
Such was Richter's artistry that everything simply sounds right, of course there are always aspects of style and interpretation which academics and critics might argue. Under Richter's hands these Handel performances make for compelling and persuasive listening. Surely one of his great recordings.
just came from Alicia De Larrocha's recording, so different with her delightful interpretation, Richter's touching make it so nostalgia...and sometimes, only sometimes like now, i really don't think it matters that much if those academic rules of Baroque interpretation are strictly obeyed or not.
It doesn’t necessarily have to matter when, and here is the “catch”, it’s interpreted by an extremely talented pianist. In 99.9% of cases it will matter.
Speaking of coughing at concerts. In the original release of his famous live recording of "Pictures at an Exhibition" it sounded like everyone in Sofia was dying of consumption.
Всё , что связано с Рихтером, на все времена , даже обидно , что имя Гаврилова стоит первым , Рихтеровская натура была хрупкой , а Гаврилов её растоптал в своей поганой книжке, Рихтер был живым человеком , и ни кто не сможет очернить его творчество , а мистер Гаврилов живёт с желчью на сердце, жалко его по по-человечески , слава Светику Рихтеру !
No one hated people coughing during a recital more than Richter himself. He has been known, before sitting down, to expressly ask audiences not to hinder his concentration with their coughs.
I think what you just said is rubbish. Richter played the vast majority of his concerts in the Soviet Union. If coughing distracted him so much he would hardly have given a recital there in winter months. I can never understand the deal on youtube with coughing. It happens. Performers learn to deal with it, and a lot worse distractions too.
Scusate la mia ignoranza: se ho capito è Richter che esegue questa suite bellissima. Il nome di Gavrilov compare al primo posto ...perché? Quslcuno può riapondermi?
So everybody who can't stand coughing; listen to studio recordings and never go to concerts. Chances are when nearly 1000 people gather that somebody will cough every now and then. So?
It's rare because the two baroque giants are chalk and cheese....very little in common apart from identifiable styles in e.g counterpoint. Interesting to me is how seldom Handel's keyboard work is to the fore...presumably due to the volume of his choral and opera works.
Agreed, Monika. Though they were very different types they were both devout Lutherans (yes, Handel remained a Lutheran) and profoundly gifted composers. Handel's music, to me, is a living ,breathing, passionate embodiment of the voice. Even his intricate passages originate from the voice whereas Bach's don't feel necessarily vocal to me, even his vocal music! This tends to give it a somewhat technical and bloodless aspect. His instrumental music such as the Brandenburg Concerti though significant don't reach the innovative variety and profound magnitude of Handel's opus 6 and 12 Concerti Grossi. These are not the standard musicological prescriptions I was force fed in my undergraduate Music history classes but an overwhelming realization from the performance and exposure to both of these universal demi-gods. I also contend Handel's counterpoint, is the equal and in some cases surpasses JSB's.
I don't know, but I have another Richter's recording of Faure's delithful Pavana also full of coghts .... Maybe he used to play during Wintertime. It's really really annoying!

Fabbro armonioso ...meraviglioso !

Both are stunning recordings but Alicia De Larrocha's for me is unbeatable

On the other hand we've got Glenn (Gould)... he wasn't against people coughing!!! he just didn't play live :p

grazie
Sublime. That's all that needs to be said
Harmonious Blacksmith 8:52. FYI.
Handel and Richter were both pisces (the fish) if I recall correctly.

For the love of God, it´s Georg Friedrich Händel.

TO DENNIS GUSTAFFSON:Exactly-people asking not to cough is impossible-I tried.I neve rhear coughings-
Coughs are our "price of admission" as listeners to the recording. Might as well complain about rain.
About the coughing: there is a desirable state in which it ALL becomes the song.
This is heavenly! So much better than Bach. Great composer and great Richter!😊
It’s rare that I hear Handel compared favorably to Bach. Curious why you think so. Me, I admire Bach, even revere him. But Handel, I love.

So much better than Bach! That's a bold statement. I'd love to hear you defend THAT.😊
