@bill Bloggs WTF CARES??? In jazz U can play anything as long as it sounds right, why should Rachmaninoff be different? It sounds right, doesn't it? But from me to U: i much prefer Fats Waller and Albert Ammons to this intellectual, technically OTT BS.
@@mikedaniels3009 Why come here? Why are you here? You're not welcome if you only bash with no logical thinking. True jazz artists respect classical artists. For you, one name: Troll. Return to the dank, dark underpinnings of whatever bridge from which you crawled.
Thanks for sharing. Svjatoslav Richter was the best piano player of the 20th centure. There is no doubt about it. No matter what he played. Absolutely beautiful, simply no words! I am the lucky guy to have an opportunity to see him live twice in my life. It must had been the marvelous evening to listen to Rachmaninoff´s music played by Richter. I wish I was there that evening!
True. Beethoven's Hammerklavier, Rachmaninoff's piano concerto, several sonatas by Schubert and Schumann's Symphonic Etudes, to name a few off the top of my head.
Wunderbarer Mensch und Künstler. Dürfte ihn mehrfach live erleben. Auch bei seinem Deutschland-Debut 1970. Sensationell. Sinfonische Etüden von Schumann und Beethoven Sonaten. Herzschlag am Limit. Denke immer an ihn und freue mich, ihn einmal wieder zu treffen.
Colosal, maravilloso....todo adjetivo me parece insuficiente... Gracias. He vuelto a revivir la experiencia que tuve de escucharlo en directo con Haydn, Beethoven, Debussy... el escenario a oscuras. No lo olvidaré nunca
When Richter came to the United States for the first time (had sailed on the Queen Mary), I heard him play one Rachmaninoff Prelude after another for encores. Very impressive! There was a 'stampede' of enthusiasts rushing down the aisles to front of stage. On the program, think I liked best his Scriabin 5th Sonata. A whirlwind. For effect he began that work even before sitting down (after intermission) - his fingers rumbling the cosmic streak while standing! Other than extreme, total commitment, I found it difficult to recognize a unique personality. I was a young student and since my teacher had known (well) his teacher, Neuhaus, we were the first of a long line asked to come forward and meet him, with discussion behind closed doors. Only a Soviet henchman present, silently meandering in the background.
+palmerplantagenet What is your point, exactly? That you failed to recognize a unique personality is only indicative of your own musical immaturity and lack of sophistication. And please refrain from using words like "henchman" lightly. You don't really know anything about that and are in no position to make a judgment, moral or otherwise..
+paulparoma Mr. Paroma, it's just possible you have good concentration....up to the end of your nose. I suggest you look up the noun, henchman, in any decent dictionary and you might be amazed how many meanings, so varied, apply. Richter even wrote about always having to be in the presence of such a person when in the West, often to Richter's dismay. But more important, Mr. Paroma, is the meaning of 'unique'. Granted, Richter seemed to honestly gravitate to letting the music speak without much personality input on his part, and I firmly believe he felt that was what composers wished. A 'unique' performance necessarily has definite elements of the pianist's personality. Couldn't be otherwise - uniqueness implies deviation. Since you, apparently, are a concert-goer who goes primarily to hear NOT what the instrumentalist has to say, I can understand. However, for a pianist, such as Richter, who was highly associated with Rachmaninoff's music (listen to HIS personality!), and who would be expected to have his own ('unique') musical interpretive input, I differ with your reasoning. As to "what exactly was my point (you - specifying the singular), let me say I intended a pleasant impression of somewhat myriad facets. Hearing and seeing Richter onstage, either in the heat of battle, or musing dreamily, I very much enjoyed those experiences. His French Impressionism was capable of transporting all present to inspired, meditative realms. His climaxes often dishevelled listeners' sensibilities, and his direct, altruistic way with musical poetry aroused homage - to both music and executant.
Yes, these forums seem to be seen by a number of sick and bitter people as a means for venting all sorts of nastiness.What a shame they can't see that that is what they publicly expose. No wonder their names are withheld.
If you love piano then this is a romance with the instrument by way of a truly individual performer, who stands alone as a supreme artiste and seemingly devoid of any self grandiosement.

Richter could do pretty well everything better than most. He could play louder,softer,faster and sustain a melodic line at a slower pace than many of his rivals. Contrary to some opinion I feel he achieved his greatest and most profound interpretations during the 1980s as this clip demonstrates.
+Meredith Foster His recordings from the 1980s do, indeed, include many interpretations even exceptional for him. That said, there are also preferable ones (for me) recorded much earlier, such as "Pagodes", from Estampes.
no one, I mean no one, did readings like Richter......bigger than life and ofgtentimes heartbreakingly tender........other times he was like a runaway locomotive tossing off passages that horowitz would take notice of....

Furthermore, he can play any piano without complaint, which is difficult with his absolute pitch.
Richter, un titán del piano.
My God! I didn't know Richter ever played the barcarolle! And I've never heard it played so beautifully!
+Gerbil Jim There are many things that Richter played which are the superlative recordings of them, in my opinion.
True. Beethoven's Hammerklavier, Rachmaninoff's piano concerto, several sonatas by Schubert and Schumann's Symphonic Etudes, to name a few off the top of my head.
Ravel's Miroirs is the one that stands out for me : ))
Have you heard Horowitz play the Barcarolle?
Different but equally stunning and mysterious.
@@josephhapp9 Yes I have, along with both of Rachmaninoff's own recordings, but I like Richter's magically slow tempo.
Oh my God !!! As if Sviatoslave Richter expresses life as intricate tone compsed by Sergei Rachmainov. Thank you so much Richter & Rachmanivove.
Great Rachmaninov playing.
STUPENDOUS, as always...Maestro!
Hello, my friend. Nice to see you here!!
Спасибо, что выложили этот концерт! Волшебная музыка!

I've never heard such a moving interpretation of Op. 39 No, 2, even by Richter himself.
Два ГЕНИЯ!!!!!! Плачу!!!!😩😩😩😥😥😥
A true gemstone of Richter's heritage...
Colosal, maravilloso....todo adjetivo me parece insuficiente... Gracias. He vuelto a revivir la experiencia que tuve de escucharlo en directo con Haydn, Beethoven, Debussy... el escenario a oscuras. No lo olvidaré nunca
Que temperamento ,muy buenos dedos ,es milagro de la naturalesa
So explosive even at this age!
Tiszt :At THIS age? As long as health is good, why should age diminish his technical ability? He was rather famous for walking long distances.
palmerplantagenet Explosive =/= technical ability, man
@bill Bloggs walking is the best THERAPY.
Op. 39 No. 1 is superb!!

Omg, I find a video!!!
Maestro
I wish the recording quality was better. Quite fuzzy and hard to listen to at times. A wonderful pianist.
Sublime !! Richter c est un aigle ...
Dommage que la prise de son soit un désastre
I can't find this Japanese DVD release(besides this RUclips video) anywhere online, can someone help me in finding it?
I want to search this with better quality!!!
GREAT!
Он в ударе тут. Я более гениального рихтера не слышал из тех лет

Please,WHAT is he actually playing?
Thanks!
Richter is Richter...:)
