This is the best interpretation of this music available. This performance has not been surpassed by any pianist that I know of and believe me that I have heard them all. Now we know why Arthur Rubinstein thought so very highly of Sviatoslav Richter. Now we know why Heinrich Neuhaus thought so highly of Sviatoslav Richter. Richter was an embodiment of human intellectual evolution and I consider myself lucky to have been born at the right time to hear him play. Thank U Beethoven, thank U Richter.
One of the best comments I red the last 15 years about Richter, from Neishapour: "Richter was an embodiment of human intellectual evolution". Priceless.
Прекрасное исполнение: Рихтер всё время контролирует темп, не позволяя возобладать эмоциям, что неминуемо привело бы к ускорению. Но за этой сдержанностью чувствуется накал страстей.
nuanced iterations was beethoven's thing. Its a part of his style, to burn the themes into the listener's mind by repeating the over and over again until they haunt you in the way they must have haunted him. the pinnacle is allegretto in the 7th symphony, a paragon of his style. if you want a feel for beethoven that symphony and this sonata are it.
Some people prefer native language and I can understand the feeling... ;) Let me translate this comment for you: "Wonderful performance: Richter is controlling tempo all the time, not allowing (raw) emotions to take over, which could lead to a rushing... but there is such a passion under this restraint. "
This is what the embodiment of perfection is. Richter, Sokolov, and Gilels are my three favorites. Richter's Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann are so spiritually contrived which makes for the most fulfilling listening experience. This entire Opus 31no 2 on Angel records was amongst my first albums my father purchased for me. It still gives me enlightenment every-time I hear it.
An aura of fakeness surrounds Barenboim’s personality and interpretations. His late career seems to have been based on fame, notoriety, money, record-breaking sales etc, all at the expense of genuine musicality. I may be biased here but I’m certain his interpretations lack the soul-ness & spirituality of, say, Richter’s or Pires’, much less Salomon ‘s. His priority is the limelight. He won’t be remembered 50 years from now.
One has to have a maturity, a depth in feeling before one can see it in others.For the person who thought Beethoven was shallow - wait 20 or 30 years till you have matured and then listen to this. Believe me its worth the wait!
This piece has some good ideas but to me it seems a bit formalistic, repetitive and somewhat shallow ( limited range of emotions that do not evolve/develop enough instead just repeating round and round... ). I guess Beethoven was on the brink of Romanticism held back by old traditions and forms...

Замечательная игра! Какая целостность и гениальная простота!!! Сейчас таких пианистов уже нет.
Richter's Beethoven sonatas are always perfect.

De même pour moi.

This is the Best performance I've ever heard !! I love this part so much :-)
For me, musical expression at the piano just doesn't get any better than this...
I listened this part played by many others pianists but Richter's performance is genious. It can't be better!!!

ВОЛНУЮЩАЯ ПРЕКРАСНАЯ МУЗЫКА БЕТХОВЕНА. ВИРТУОЗНОЕ ИСПОЛНЕНИЕ. СПАСИБО!
Любимая мелодия. Эмоциональное исполнение

I love Richter's powerful strokes which makes his performances very impressive and beautiful
How Splendid ~ brilliant rendition..!
У нас много чувств и эмоций и мы живём с закрытыми сердцами, а там внутри буря

Bella performance, bella hasta las lágrimas. S. Richter siempre fascinante.
Фантастика!!!

Daniel Barenboim?

Who's that?
Who's that Daniel Barenboim?
Great Great Great Richter
...maybe the best pianist......Perfect...!!!
Best player of Beethoven’s music in the world 🌎 to this day!
Исполнение не виртуозное. ))) ГЕНИАЛЬНОЕ!
So beautiful... Move in tears. Thanks!
Divine !
mind-bogglingly ethereal....
Thank you for posting this!
Vladimir Ashkenazy´s interpretation is also painfuly beautiful.
Much love.
Betoverend mooi. Diep muzikaal. Een voorbeeldige uitvoering

awesome
Бетховен воплотился в Рихтере,чтобы сыграть нам свои шедевры
Ideally!
Yuriy Bokhonoff так не говорят, англичанин вы наш.
Eduard Korkotian go fuck yourself, так говорят?
Thank you, dear Truecrypt -fine translate ))
Великий Бетховен --- Великий Рихтер. Всё остальное звучит вроде "здесь был Вася".
Особенно Гленя Гу
Great! Richter is my preferred pianist of XX century. Nowadays is Grigory Sokolov the best.
Sokolov and Pletnev everyone else is simply not perfection in musicality and virtuosity
serge marinkovic and Barenboim, Argerich, Berezovsky also.
Are you telling us that Beethoven came from an alien race of geniuses
who could argue with what you have said
any link for this piece that isn't allegretto? or is suppossed to be played that way
It's up to the pianist. Most play it a bit faster (i.e. Glenn Gould). Some play it slower (I.e. Andras Schiff).
I also listened to Barenboim's delicate and very nice interpretation. Which, it has to be said, got just s o m e w h e r e near Richter's. IMHO
bravooooo in Italian!!!!!!!!!!!
Почему Рихтера называют гениальным? Не чувствуется техники исполнения, только музыка, только Бетховен!
Именно по этому Рихтера и называют гениальным!
))) В точку!

No estoy de acuerdo.
I doubt Beethoven loved communists though. And that's all that matters, right?
Hitler loved Wagner. How does that matter though? I dont understand what point you're trying to make..
Not even near the original version. You play as a beginner.
Генрих Нейгауз играет лучше!
