The greatest interpretation ever, only a genius like Richter could make the notes of the genius that is Bach shine, allowing us to feel the flow of destiny as intended by the Supreme Composer.
If you like Bach you'll love Mozart's 9th, 20th, 21st, 24th, and 25th piano concertos. And the Zimmerman-Bernstein performance of Beethoven's 3rd piano concerto. Zimmerman is the greatest pianist alive. But so few recordings. Happy listening.
My favorite passage in all of music is the several measures in the 1st movement of the 21st concerto where Mozart has both hands playing arpeggios against each other in what are dissonant intervals so expertly woven together that they sound consonant! When I bought the score and as I was playing it first came to that passage and became aware that it was actually dissonant intervals I was startled. Because when listening to the recording before that the same passage sounded consonant. Genius. The 1st movement of the 21st is one of the most underappreciated pieces in all of music. But then Mozart said that melody is the essence of music, counterpoint, orchestration, etc., the hack work. And his melodies go right over the heads of most people because they are so much more complex than other composers. You have to listen to Mozart's later music several times to really hear it. As Schumann said, "Have you noticed that Mozart's music is unique. The more you listen to it the fresher it becomes." Great tragedy that he died so young and in the fullness of his powers. What great works we could have had that we don't have.
What a rarity! Thanks for this superb post. Richter seems to be especially pointed and energized in this performance. The slow movement (marked andante in most recordings, I believe) is especially moving, so gentle, elegant, and felt. But the whole thing is a delight.
Please, I want you foreigners to talk American if you're going to post on the Internet instead in your local, native languages where only one or two people can tell what you're saying. Thanx.
It's also silly to insist that everyone speak English... the world is full of many beautiful languages, each with its own nuances and esteemed literary traditions. Why should English be the standard? If we were going by the most spoken languages in the world, then we should insist that Permian learn Mandarin, Spanish, or Hindi.
Потрясающе! Браво!!! Верю, что благодаря Рихтеру мы проникаем в надвременную суть творений Баха, в их глубинный смысл, глубже, чем современники великого композитора. Думаю, не ошибусь, если выскажу предположение, что здесь Рихтер впервые для себя играет соль минорный Концерт Баха - 18/05/91, Москва, БЗК, дирижер Юрий Николаевский, концерт памяти Олега Кагана. В тот же вечер Рихтер также сыграл (личная премьера) 3-й, ре мажорный Концерт (BVW 1054), а в первом отделении - четыре Дуэта (BVW 802-805), и еще Наталия Гутман сыграла Сюиты №№ 3 (до мажор) и 5 (до минор).
Okay, if I've told you Russians once I've told you a dozen times, if you're going to post on the Internet talk American so everybody can understand you instead of the one or two people who can read Russian. Thanx.
Richter und Glenn Gould schätzten sich über alle Maßen, wahrscheinlich, weil sie so gegensätzlich waren. Aber aus dieser Gegensätzlichkeit ergeben sich viele Gemeinsamkeiten, eine ist, wie man unschwer hören kann, der unbedingte musikalische und künstlerische Zugriff! A marvellous piece of Bach played by a marvellous pianist! :-)
What the hell, another foreigner talking in his little, local language. If you foreigners are going to post on the Internet talk American so everybody can understand you. Thanx.
Bitte entschuldigen Sie mein Deutsch wie verwende ich eine Wörterbuch und High School wissen. Obwohl ich Richter genießen, Frage ich mich, seine Interpretation von Bach, wie er es mit Nebenkosten des 20. Jahrhunderts in der Barockmusik. Radeln ist auch minimal in der Barockmusik, wie sie nicht bis zum Fortepiano und Pianoforte existierte. Glenn Gould war das Individuum schenkte uns einen Leitfaden für wie Bach Kompositionen dargelegt. Er war sehr präzise und bewusste in seiner Annäherung an Bach. Seine Nebenkosten waren sehr gemessen, die ist etwas, das Bach getan hätte. Ich glaube, dass Bach ein Kontrolle-Süchtigen war, da er keine Anweisungen, wie man seine Musik verlassen. Glenn Gould verbrachte seine Zeit mit uns auf diese Weise. Sviatoslav Richter war eine präzise Pianist, Russisch ausgebildet und hasste es, Russland zu verlassen. Seine Interpretation von Bach war, erlernte er in Russland. Seine Leistung entspricht zwar gut, dass Glenn Gould nicht wie Richter die Nebenkosten des 20. Jahrhunderts und nicht Barock Interpretation ist. Bitte nehmen Sie keine Ausnahme auf meine Worte, wie ich wenn ich Klavier studiert, gelehrt wurde, denken Sie an die Ära der Komponisten, Kunst, Kultur und dann nähern sich die Musik mit diesem im Verstand.
Alright, Gomez, I'm going to tell you what I tell all you foreigners, if you're going to post on the Internet talk American so everybody can understand what you're saying instead of the one or two people who talk in your local language. Thanx.
elkin, talk American. How many times do I have to say it, people? If you're going to post on the Internet talk American so everybody can understand what you're saying. Thank you.
¡Que ignorancia! -- there are more native Spanish speakers in the world than native English speakers. 45 Million more native speakers than English and growing fast. I'll translate Elkin's post for you once, and once only... then you need to go learn some Spanish. Speak in Spanish, so that more people can understand you: "Huge Master Richter. Fortunately, his recordings remain. One of the most complete pianists, perhaps the most, of the 20th century."
If you're going to post on the Internet, then talk American, please, so everybody else can understand what you're saying, instead of the few people who talk Russian.
You're mean. And we do too talk American. English is talked on a little island off the continent of Europe. American is talked on the continent of America where it counts, from New York to Los Angeles. So I don't know what you're getting at. Of course, we talk American. And so does everybody else in the world but those few people who live on that little island. Notice that foreigners all talk American. None of them talk English. So I think I'm right. And you need to take a second look at how mean you are, and try to be nicer to people, more considerate of their feelings, you motherfucking, shit-eating ignoramus.
Alex Bauer, how dare you think I have a mental disorder. And how dare you tell me to stop writing comments on RUclips. Only my mother can tell me what to do. You're not my mother.
No one is obligated to use English on RUclips. If you have problems with other languages than English, use a translator. English is a very poor language, with which it's hard to express certain things. Also, S. Ritcher was a soviet citizen. And please, leave your arrogance in USA when talking with people from other countries.
I pity all those people who had no chance in their lives to get to know Bach's music ! It is even more pitiful if their education didn't expose them to this opportunity to experience the magic of Baroque music.
THE DOORS used the Albinoni Adagio as part of the soundtrack for AN AMERICAN PRAYER,a collection of poems by JIM MORRISON. The following lyrics in it were chosen for this ADAGIO " NO MORE MONEY,NO MORE F A N C Y DRESS...THIS OTHER KINGDOM IS BY FAR THE BEST...." Of course ,everybody got entranced in a suicidal emotion which somehow served the fake news narrative of JIM MORRISON's supposed death via heartattack through a heroin overdose .It was a lie,but people believe everything they read or hear in the news until THE END. .which is near...and so is JUDGEMENT DAY and THE SECOND COMING We'll have a great FEAST OF FRIENDS ❤❤
Bach was under contract and adapted a lot of his themes to other works and concertos. He made some of them for violin and flaüte the same and he adapted quite a few from organ to harpsichord. He had to have some time to produce all those children. :-) If you study the two and three part inventions and the preludes and fugues then technically you are prepared for all of his other works. That is why Mozart is considered one of the greatest composers because although he had an identity in his work they were all individual and stood on their own.
I think if you consider Bach wrote over 1000 pieces of music it is quite incredible he hardly ever repeats himself. If you consider just the Goldbergs and the 48 the possibility to repeat phrases and chord sequences is huge yet he hardly ever does. The only time he obviously repeats himself is when he deliberately repeats himself as in the case mentioned above. As a performer of Bach myself i am always left speechless how he managed this - a six-minute fugue that never tires or runs out of ideas. Without doubt the most complex musical mind in history.
@@touficsarkis283 gould ffffffffpppppp! he and his autism only knows how to play toccatas. which admittedly sound good, and the more difficult ones are avoided.
I think a person's religious leanings in the 18th century have to be taken in context with the social climate of the time. For instance, for someone to dismiss god and embrace atheisim in 1725 would have resulted, in Bach's case certainly, a loss of position, income and social status - if not worse. It would have been wise to keep such views hidden and tow the party line, so to speak. I'm not suggesting Bach wasn't a believer but it could have been overstated. Also, Bach wrote many secular works that still take us way beyond ourselves. My own view is Bach was perhaps a touch autistic and found a way to express the emotion through music, an emotion we find quite profound as we are unable to decipher it. Many will attribute this to 'God'. I feel Bach would have been the same composer as a non-believer.
That can not be alltogether true. Many christians especially the early generations were martyred for their faith. Because they had hope in jesus that conquered death. So they did not fear it like say a person that fears loosing his life. U can not say they would fear loosing positions. Bach went to prison. He did not fear talking to high up ppl.
@@Frazer777 Not to argue the point with you, but no beautiful music has been composed by an atheist. The most beautiful music is religious in inspiration, both famous Ave Marias, Bach's Passions and B minor Mass, Handel's Messiah and the Op.6 Grand Concertos composed as interlude music to the Messiah, in my opinion greater music than the Messiah itself. Then there's Haydn's Creation, Mozart's Requiem Mass and C minor Mass, and Brahms' famous German Requiem. Atheists have done diddly squat in music. Just saying. Atheism is not an inspirational ideology, obviously.
The genius of Bach and Richter do not add but multiply each other!
what a great orchestra as well, such a spirit from the opening second....
The greatest interpretation ever, only a genius like Richter could make the notes of the genius that is Bach shine, allowing us to feel the flow of destiny as intended by the Supreme Composer.
BRAVO, BACH! BRAVO, RICHTER!!! BEAUTIFUL!

Time spent without listening to Richter's Bach is just wasted
The music of J.S. Bach in all its splendor.
It's a real magic! I love Richter's rendition and performance..this is the Best I've ever heard :-)
I do agree
The best interpretation of Adagio of G Minor. Bravo to Richter and young musicians!!
Bravo à Bach aussi...
And then Bach takes you by the hand and ushers you into a world of glittering music instruments that keep up your spirits and enlighten your day.
Un estupendo intérprete !!! Gracias Maestro !!!.-

What a rarity! Thanks for this superb post. Richter seems to be especially pointed and energized in this performance. The slow movement (marked andante in most recordings, I believe) is especially moving, so gentle, elegant, and felt. But the whole thing is a delight.
Lovely ..Lovely moment! Richter makes me so happy and relaxed..Thanks for great music..
The tempo of the third movement is just sublime.
Bach is about architecture,mathematics and aesthetics. So is Richter.
...and spirituality too (which, in his case, manifest itself as objectivity).
Bravo.....!!!!!!!!!! So beautiful..
So beautiful! By far beyond the words..
Splendido. Senza parole. Thank you very much.
Richter's austere, uncompromising art, illuminates Bach .......a flowing stream.
J'approuve totalement!

It's Richter eating an apple while chilling out
during his concert interval in Budapest in the 60s.

Secondo me, la migliore esecuzione al pianoforte assieme a quella di Glenn Gould.
He made a beautiful work !
As he did every time he plays ....whatever

Amazed by the previous comment. Blissful ignorance of the musical talent of this great pianist.
I am thrilled !

Bach has probably done more to make us think beyond our own selves than any musician. And yes, he was religious. Go figure !
