There's always something beautiful about Richter's sound that touches the soul. His sound is special. When I close my eyes and listen to his performance, tears flow. Tears of joy and respect
Don't normally like his Chopin, but this blew me away from the first few bars. So much more thought given to the architecture of this piece than other versions by the usual suspects: Zimmerman, Pollini, Rubinstein, et. al.
Yes, I did notice a certain 'sameness' throughout this performance that almost makes it feel like, in the end, not a lot happened. However there was still very beautiful playing, and it did make me hear parts of the piece differently, which I appreciate after hearing so many Barcarolles. I thought it was definitely a valid perspective on it.
Richter doesn’t want you to listen to him, he wants you to listen to Chopin! If you think this interpretation transmit nothing you then perhaps you are trying to listen to the interpreter instead of the composition. Richter never adds superflous effects to his playing, if the straightforward piece transmits nothing to you then perhaps your problem isn’t with the interpretation but with the piece itself.
If you're referring to the right hand scale passages in last few bars, he's actually not rushing at all, he's just maintaining his same tempo. Most performers seem to slow down here, so Richter just seems fast by comparison.

Splendidi charo scuri nei colori che mette nella sua interpretazione
Excellent interpretation of one of the works of greater technical difficulty in the execution. Wonderful.
very difficult in technic very very
Exquisitely performed, captive to my ear!
Vraiment, une très belle interprétation.
Best interpretation
Святослав Рихтер Гений.
God, he means it.
sometimes just restituate the piece's emotions without adding any superfluous effect gives the most out of a it. Especally in Chopin
Grande 👍
Gian : c'est sur c'est une grande composition c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire
This was in Salzburg in 1977, I believe.

What's the deal with that rushing at the end? Even the older versions aren't this fast.
