His voicing in the fourth movement is just so incredible. All the beautiful inner voices come to life.

[@per174]

Very nice of course. But why so fast? 😊

[@Johanna650]

Això és música bona. Schubert és genial. Per mi, és el millor després de Brahms. Però per mi crec que aquesta joia és un regal per les orelles. Després de sentir coses com aquesta ningú pot dir música al reggaeton

Wie ein Gebet!

ONLY RICHTER CAN TAKE THIS OUT OF THE SHADOW

Nop. Volodos...

[@joangarcia-alsina2932]

It was his Schubert favourite sonate. Richter played very slowly, with a total duration of 45' instead of the usual 35' of most interprets. This is specially noticeable in the initial cantabile, with a mayestatic and solemn aura that I have never found elsewhere.

[@elite-ct1lr]

Richter understood how to use silence. Players who interpret the piece in this way lose the supreme beauty of silence. It's like they are bolting down a meal, whereas Richter savours each delicious mouthful. I wonder whose interpretation the composer would have preferred. ruclips.net/video/gcei2nCYbNs/видео.html

my goodness that first movement dawdles on and on

[@kangchenjunga591]

chrish12345 indeed this is very long so is the entire sonata. Almost impossible control and focus is needed to keep this going.

[@JeffreyGreenCompRhet]

And Sir Andras manages it incredibly well. While extended, the movement, and the sonata as a whole are under complete control. Form is everything, and Schiff is a master at limning Schubert's structures.

haha, what an honest and true and frank repsonse

[@levim.3505]

You really should check out Richter playing this

[@davidmoran5431]

@@levim.3505 and of course you know his famous B-flat first movement, which is agonizingly unending
