Richter's performance always overcomes the sound quality of his records.
It's the best we can get. Richter is my favorite pianist of all time
Was Richter aus vielen Musikwerken rauszuholen imstande war ist fast überrirdisch. Ein absoluter Ausnahmepianist.
Richter is one of the greatest. His interpretation of Chopin, Schumann, Brahms Rachmaninoff, Tschaikowsky or Prokofiev is beyond compare. He is full of intensity and fire in his music of any of the composers. I love listening to him because you can feel the music the same way as he convey his inner most feelings and interpretation.I can listen to him all the time. Toronto.
Белиссимо !!!!
you forgot about Richter's Schubert...
You've forgotten Bach
Esta pieza ya está de moda la tocan todos los pianistas.
And his Beethoven!
Chopin to cudowne dzieło Boga. Mój ulubiony kompozytor.
One of the best concerts. The way Richter moves from one piece to the next and so on is magical !!! You wish you were there!!!
The second ballad is just heavenly beautifully played. Oh my gosh, what a genius.
S.Ricter is a giant of the piano. He is a real genius ever. .
Richter was the pianist of the 20th Century and I think may ever be equalled
I heard Chopin concert of his in 1988 when he visited London
All were simply astounded !!!!
Yes....Richter is a whole new dimension.....BRAVO from Mexico City!
Richter is one of the top 1 of all the time!
Ce qui caractérise cette performance d'un Richter jeune et isolé dans son URSS, c'est une spontanéité jamais vue à un tel niveau (pas même le grand Horowitz) et un idiosyncrasisme qui lui permet de rendre unique et neuf tout ce qu'il joue. C'est incroyable, fabuleux. Ce nocturne en sol mineur, jusqu'à maintenant je l'avais toujours trouvé tout au plus joli et triste, mais Maestro Richter donne une profondeur et tire un chant inimaginable de l'instrument. C'est comme s'il retrouvait exactement l'émotion magique de par sa poésie et sa tristesse qui fit que Chopin nous livra cette merveilleuse musique. Un très, très grand moment d'art, de musique et d'humanité. Jamais nous ne serons assez reconnaissant envers ces artistes de génie.
Richter showed a gentle demeanor backstage, at least when I met him 10 years after this performance. It belied his iron jawed virtuosic ferociousness - stunningly demonstrated just moments past, before a vast audience now clamoring at the green room door. Yet mid-recital I'd heard him 'purr' through impressionistic literature with exceptional sensitivity, putting most of the listeners in a dream state. What struck me most favorably was his Scriabin and Rachmaninoff - riding the crest and thrust of a headlong interpretation he was dynamically reliving for all to experience. Momentous!
Do not forget the beauty of his Miroirs! Is there any better performance, even today? Of course not, specially these days, I'm sure!
"This is how my works should be played", said Chopin ones about List's performance. In 1950 when Richter was 35, he like a rebel ended further piano performance art of Chopin. If composer heard Richter he'd definitely say: "In the whole eternity I wouldn't imagine my works can be played like this!". Good for others has been only one thing -- he did not play the entire Chopin.
the beauty, fantasy and perfection... beyond description.
Of all the pianists that I have heard, one of the most natural, heartfelt, patient.
on the contrary I love the unpredictability of richter's interpretation, the way he suddenly exploded into life in presto section
Absolutely ..agree with your opinion.. :-)
a singing master with inner hearing
nobody can top him. we are all dust.
Still the best ...
Wonderful! No more words, just himmlische toene!
Richter's interpretation of Prelude No.6 is so touching,it's like he is telling people a very sad story,his playing is similar to speaking...
One might in that case rate pianists on a Richter scale.
Haha!
Do you say that because of the scherzo?
Brilliant!
Would be quite well and accurate to do. NO ONE is deeper, for me.
I am enthralled! This is amazing playing, brutal and uncut. Thank you for uploading these concerts.
I only heard him around 1986, but he was still capable of very beautifull playing. Not like this, at the summit of his enormous powers, but still great! Generous man, great artist! Man like him make us feel proud of the human race and all it's miseries!
I myself saw him play in 1975 in Brussels:The Beethoven OP106.....unforgettable
And then in 1992 with Scriabine and beethoven sonata OP110
I always thought Richter not a great Chopin player. The polonaise fantasie and scherzo in e minor were long in his repertoire and dozen etudes taken from both books. I did see him live a couple of times once in the famous London recital in 1988 when he tore through those dozen etudes like he had a train to catch. It was edge of the seat stuff and mesmerising, but perhaps not as Chopin intended.
Amen .
I was there too, Barbican recital, after a beautifull recital at the Royal Festival Hall, beautifull Schubert Sonata in G and fabulous Prokofieff and Bartok. BUt the Études were not that special as the rest of his program...
luiz g its doesn't have an apostrophe in this case(possessive)"it" being a pronoun...🎹😎
words cant describe
Recital, 19/06/1950, Moscow. Live at the Grand Hall Of The Moscow Conservatoire on June 19th 1950.
54:05 - 01:00:48 : OMFSBG THE MOST INCREDIBLE PLAYING THAT I'VE EVER HEARD!
So beautiful..I miss you, S.Richter so much! Glory to Richter ~forever.. ..
He makes the piano sing.
Thank you for posting! Be blessed xxx
Wonderful upload !
Thanks a lot
идеально все, проникновенно:..звуки рассыпаются сплошным бисером, словно мельчайшие брызги, озаренные лучами солнца..., культура исполнительская уникальная в своем роде...
Суетливо, и, как следствие, довольно много "грязи". Не лучшее выступление Рихтера.
In the 1969-1970 season of the Met Museum's Concerts & Lectures Series, which presented a total of 289 events, Sviatoslav Richter was persuaded by Sol Hurok to give a concert in the Museum's intimate and acoustically perfect Grace Rainer Rogers Auditorium. It was one of four events celebrating the Met's 100th anniversary, the others being Artur Rubinstein joining the Guarneri Quartet in his only chamber music appearance in the United States, The Istomin Stern Rose Trio, and Birgit Nilsson.
He played Schumann's Bunte Blatter and Pictures at an Exhibition. If only the Met had asked him to kindly play some Bach as well!
So nice of you to have bookmarked the time where each piece begins. Thanks so much!!!
0:38:43-0:39:40...How many colors in this place ... Bravo maestro!
Incredible!!
The best!
Bij Richter is er altijd troost en hoop en inspiratie te vinden. Een begenadigd musicus was de man
Really interesting thank you.
01:04:17 averaging over 200bpm...it's insanity...and after already playing for an hour...
Hi Everybody, thank for all your nice words, I can not find the right words to say anything, it's another world!
Simplemente , es un genio!
We can't have them, but the imaginary prospect of Chopin making comment on Richter's interpretations of his work (as he may have done, does, from somewhere) is tantalizing: certainly he would pay tribute to Richter's brilliance and authenticity, across the spectrum, as a musician ( a confidence in accomplishment, deeply personalized, inspired, visionary one might say, radical, yet faithful, to the source, that is unsurpassed, though of course not unmatched) so, one may ask, does Richter take the music of Chopin out of the bounds of the composer's imagination, or to its heart- probably something of both.This reach for liberty, humanity, their victory, that also embraces the worldly attributes, experience, sensitivities-and eccentricities- of the player, Chopin would surely love. Indeed are they not what he composed for, for all. And what a year, place and condition to hear Chopin from.
+Ralph Berney Thank you for these very interesting and insightful comments, so wonderfully expressed. They add to and deepen my appreciation for the great Sviatoslav Richter.
+yusufu9 I quite agree with you.
Well said Ralph.
Lovely moment ~
¡Ah, great Chopin! You have got a great player. Isn't it...?
Richter was the best of pianists who were born and died in the 20th century.
The Scherzo is OMG
I love recordings from this period. You can actually hear a piece of the piano falling off at 14.54 and they didn't even bother to edit it out.
Apparently everyone in the audience was suffering from a very heavy cold...But that's not so strange, when you realise it was Moscow, 1950...
No, the reason there were many coughers, is that it was very difficult to get tickets for his concerts, and expensive. So anyone getting sick would never relinquished his ticket! I had to sit through similar concerts, quietly swearing at coughers! My issue with the audience in Moscow is that most of good tickets to concerts of Richter, Gilels, Oistrakh were sold to powers that be, who could care less about the performer or the music played, who went to those concerts for the prestige only. That’s why the applodes were always luke warm. St.Petersburg audience reactions were, as a rule, much warmer
What a сharming performance, Svyatoslav Richter is definitely one of the top 20 pianists of all time!
Scratch the 19 others!
Richter is one of the all time top 20 ? Without attacking or judging, I'm curious as to who you would put above Richter in the top 20. Actually, I wouldn't even put Richter in the top 20.
I think it's a perfect tempo, especially as cleanly as he plays it. It's the kind of piece that's more comfortable the faster you play it, I think.
How beautifully right hand flows over left one( this one very soft) singing the melody at Nocturne Op. 9 No. 1.
But at Scherzo no.1, one of the most difficult pieces of Chopin's repertoire, he is so absorbed to play as faster as he can, that he forgets the important rhythmic structure of left hand.
Encondre un disco ... en una plaza.... lo compre... y me encanto....
I just love every playing from him.
I wonder how jurys from Chopin competition would judge him if he plays in 2021.too fast?too much power?
1950 год... это ещё при Сталине.
Высказываться об исполнении этого полуБога - НЕ ЭТИЧНО!
Рихтер передаёт нам то, чего хотелось Господу на момент его исполнения.
Величайшая ЛИЧНОСТЬ.
Gostei!!! (Very good)
wow!!
When it comes to the second ballade, Richter's playing doesn't seem possible.
Possible? I do not think it is really naturelle -- it is superficious.
+Lollipop, "superficious"? ?? What really is superficial and superfluous is your mindless comment.
richter was a fucking beast of the nature
I said that because the manner Richter played the Etude, the recording quality, all points to it's the same concert.
What I was referring is just the 4th etude clip in the DVD, not the ACTUAL all Chopin concert Richter played at the Engineers club in Odessa just before that 4th etude clip in the DVD.
So yes. It's the same concert as in the DVD, but NOT the same concert as Richter's first all Chopin concert at the Engineers club in Odessa.
If Chopin listened this surely would say he is himself playing...!
The History of 20 th Century music. Richter is of the immortals.
I really regret that i never heard his retcital..
+myrsinaleaf1 So do I.
myrsinaleaf1 d
To catch a recital of a giant like him would be like knowing, when and where you will see meteorite! Or you could live in Moscow and be privileged to get tickets.
Oh yeah, right, Moscow's great 1950 bronchitis epidemy, I had forgotten about it.
I am speaking of the 2nd ballade of course
Ah.
I knew it! I sought out this video just because I thought he'd handle the prelude no.4 particularly well (this occurred to me while listening to another pianist's interpretation) and of course, Richter meets expectations.
yes,of course,nobody else can play like him,especially the sad music...I think that this also has to do with his experience of the world wars
All the people that cannot enjoy the ballad constantly comparing it with whoever else - I feel sorry for you lol.
Russian way of playing and I really like that. For some people it becomes hard to follow , but he takes you a crazy dance in the second ballade, awesome. I think Chopin himself would approve. That ending, from 1000 to 1.
Yeah, because extremely rushed and muddled is good...
@@isaiahkurasz5300 so all expression of emotion has to be crystal clear else it is not allowed or no good? extremely rushed is a perception unless you know how the composer played it. And from all the composers that we've got recordings from, they all play 'rushed'. Or are we just used to listening to slower tempos that simply kill beat and musical storytelling?
I believe that Russian pianists had a more personal style of playing than we are used to. I noticed the same thing listening to Gilels playing late Brahms. I can't fault a great pianist for playing according to hia own instincts, but if I sometimes wonder if they knew the history of interpretive practice. Richter said he just played the notes as written. That's not really a correct idea. Of course any possible failings pale in comparison to the beauty of his playing in his prime.
well that would be overly presumptuous, since i do not purport to have heard all the pianist in the world to be able to make such judgment. But from the ones I've actually heard so far Richter is certainly number one for me (as subjective as it is :)
наш великий гений Святослав Рихтер, непревзойденный и совершенный!
敬虔なリヒテルにこんな演奏の日があったとは、驚きだ。
Richter NEVER made tricks like 'fake'!
!!!
01:04:17: presto. Presto, presto, presto, presto! Every note is presto, presto presto...
I can assure you it isn't fake, one of my music teachers saw him perform Opus 10 #4 at the Moscow conservatory.
Because of Richter’s flawless technique, visionary and insightful and clear interpretations and huge repertoire make him the greatest pianist in the twentieth century. And whatever he plays is perfect. Pity about the quality of some of his recordings, and live concerts with all the coughing!!
Richter will be for ever an enigma! How could someone be capable of playing so well, and so may times so horribly like him? Perhaps he suffered from stage fright, I can't think of anything else to describe it! I heard |Michelangeli many times, and he was always, always magnificent, just about unbelievable, even if a little bit on the excentric side sometimes, but all his concerts were an experience for life! Richter could play in the most sublime way, and suddenly like a real pig! But I love him anyway, perhaps at the end even touched more than Michelangeli ... perhaps, difficult to say...
I have yet to find a Michelangeli's to my liking. Sorry to disturb you from your dreamland.
@@Farahmand1010 You just prove that you care a lot about my opinion - that's why you are here. Therefore, your first sentence is a PLAIN & PURE lie.
That puts a lot of doubt on your 2nd sentence. Please give the source if you could.
As far as I know, Richter considers Софроницкий the greatest (he called Софроницкий "God"). There cannot be 2 greatest pianists at the same time - that is not logical.
@@Farahmand1010 To sum it up, you either tell a lie again in your 2nd sentence, or Richter contradicts himself. Either way, your statement is invalid.
@@Farahmand1010 You are trying to cover up your stupidity with a long reply, just to confuse people.
I never said about who care about whoses comment - there is no contradiction. It is you who said you don't care but actually you care a lot. That is the lie I caught. You are trying to put your own words in my mouth - a typical troll techinque. Someone who depends on lies to make his living allways tell lies. All the rest you mumble amount to nothing.
Now, about Richter, you never quote anything you said in reply, which means you are giving your silly "interpretation" of what the book said. Not valid enough. Plus, you are a one-book man. There are so many info out there about Richter, and yet you only talked about one book - it does not means anything. What I said in my reply to your has nothing to do with "Richter and Sofronitsky had their discussion"; instead, Richter has said repeatedly that "Sofronitsky is God", he did not say it in front of Sofronitsky. Richter was not trying to flatter Sofronitsky because he has no need to do so. Richter himself is now considered the greatest pianist of the 20th century in the music circle. Anyone can see this point simply by looking at the rest of this comment section. If you think you can mislead people by avoiding this point, you are merely fooling yourself.
Because Richter is the greatest, that's why his opinion matters. Anyone could say "Mr. A is one of the great pianist" or even "one of the greatest", but it means nothing. It only matters when Richter called Sofronitsky "God". No great pianist could be greater than God. Period.
Now, between Richter and Sofronitsky, who is greater? It depends on how you look at it. Sofronitsky's interpretation of Beethoven, Chopin, and other great masters paved the way for Richter and the other pianists of the 20th century. But Sofronitsky died early and did not leave much behind. It is Richter who generated a comprehensive library of music recording of all periods for the posterity. Overall speaking, Richter's contribution far exceeded Sofronitsky. But he is humble enough to call Sofronitsky "God". In reality, Richter is God, Sofronitsky is only a demi-God. In contrast, Michelangeli is only an esoteric performer, and it explains why he recorded so much for the Esoteric lable.
Then, you added that "Cortot said of him that he was a new Liszt", I hope Cortot wuld say he is a new Chopin or new Mozart. Liszt is only a technician.
@@Farahmand1010 Finally, all your verbal abuse show beyond any doubts that you are a troll, nothing more, nothing less.
Сам Микеланджели назвал Рихтера N:1...
he may have been the best of the 20th century
Your comment is measured and mature not unlike the art it reflects. I share your opinion Johann SEbastian Bach Leipzig
Ballade no 2 Op. 38 elders vermeld als van Schubert en dus niet van Chopin zoals hier.
Schubert " Drei Klavierstücke nr 2 ". Iemand een verklaring of is er Leentjebuur gespeeld ?
Does anyone know why he plays the Preludes in an unusual order? (At least, different order from the circle-of-fifths order in every edition I have seen.)
Is that important? I don’t think the order is important: the artist chooses his own.
@@stonefireice6058 Well, in a complete performance of the Préludes, I think the original order is important -- there are key relationships between the pieces, and Chopin's ordering seems to be intentional. Since Richter is not performing the complete set here, that changes things, though. I'm sure his order is not accidental, given the care he takes with every other aspect of performance. But, for example, the jump from F major to F-sharp minor... that's an "interesting" choice, at least :-).
wish people would stay quiet in the background. The coughing almost seems deliberate xD
猫のワルツは、実に楽しそうだ。
54:04
Thanks-any idea about the date of the recital?
richter was better musically younger it seems. more emotions.
Why not upload in HD?
Never ever be equalled
Oh god that Zimerman version!...its really is something esle!
Zimmerman is his best in Beethoven and Brahms, but cold fish in Chopin and even Schubert
一つ一つの細胞が、人命か。
He makes the dramatic episodes of the 3rd Ballade rather scarey. Compelling though it is I find these outbursts rather disproportionate. Of course this is a young volatile Richter, having said this however the Nocturnes op15 no3 and op 9 no1 are especially beautiful. As for the Etudes - absolutely staggering. The preludes - highly individual.
no i totally know what you mean, sometimes this piece is more beautiful when played just a littttle more slow at times, even though its a beast of a fast piece, but some of those notes just need to ring out in your soul and be felt longer than a split instance, but yeah otherwise richter is usually the man. not that this recording is anything but amazing.... but yeah he plays it fast..basically...haha
No? In this video its duration 1:40 where as in the famous sped up video its duration is 1:35. Those 5 seconds make it much faster!
foapwh jkre do you mean that famous video sped up with video redactor?
鉄のカーテンに阻まれていた頃の、リヒテルだと思うと、何とも言えない業を感じる。
業(ごう)
Do the bozos in marketing at RUclips who put adverts for Noom and Grammarly in the middle of a recital by Sviatoslav Richter really believe that a single person is going to buy their doomed products as a result of these constant interruptions? I really think these advertisers are out of their minds because they are wasting their money...
Because it's the same concert.
loool I am not surprised
Jesus!!!
хотелось бы видеть руки как он играет а не на картинку:) это аудио
Note the "C. Bechtstein" piano -- probably WWII booty.
