Beethoven Sonata 32 Op 111 1st Mov Richter Haaser

[Spudboy41]

S'appeler "Richter"-Haaser ne devait pas beaucoup aider pour se faire un nom en tant que pianiste...

@Spudboy41

Hans Richter-Haaser fait ses débuts en 1928 six ans avant que de Sviatoslav Richter en 1934.

Merci pour cette précision.

Magnifique de musicalité. Finesse et légèreté alliés à une puissance phénoménale. Je recherche des enregistrements inédits de lui. Je l'ai beaucoup enregistré "live" dans les années 1970 à Paris. Plusieurs concertos de Beethoven. Me contacter .vincent.lespagnol@gmail.com

just to tell you that EMI has published recently a "Beethoven" box played by Richter-Hasser with 13 sonatas, ctos n°3,4,5, Diabelli variations and 2 rondos. I just found it on Amazon.

[Beckmesser2]

@jackusful Thank you !

hans richter-haaser,yes i completely forgot him.have heard him live in concert also with beethoven sonatas.for me he was never important,although,listen to this op.111 rendition, i should correct my opinion.

[stesimbrotus]

Unfortunately I have not had an opportunity to know him well however his interpretation of c-moll sonata 8 is the best (along with Maria Grienberg's one) so far.

[stesimbrotus]

I have forgotten to ask. Here at youtube I have heard his performance of Sonata 8 however the user deleted. The best interpretation I have ever heard (along with Maria Grinberg). By chance have not you have the recording?

[stesimbrotus]

Moreover, I could not even compare with him either Gieseking or Backhaus. It seems that in the sense of interpretation he is really incomparable. It is strange that he has not had such a great name as e.g. Schnabel or Rubinstein who are, in fact, the interpreters below awarage (i do not understand why Schnabel is regarded as Beethoven's insuperable interpreter).

[RabidCh]

Schnabel is regarded as Beethoven's (almost) insuperable interpreter in Beethoven's slow movements*

Wonderful! I have a 50-year-old LP of him playing the Brahms Concerto #2. It's marvelous.

Also, I heard him play it at Carnegie Hall in 1959, shortly after I heard his Town Hall debut recital, which included (among other things I can't remember) Petrushka. It was stunning!

It's a shame he's now mostly forgotten.

[Beckmesser2]

The program you heard in 1959, (this review gives the venue as Town Hall, Nov 9, 1959) was:

Beethovens Appassionata Sonata, Schumanns Fantasy in C Major, Stravinskys Sonata and Brahms Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel. You were fortunate to have been present at that recital. I heard him only once in the early 1960s performing an all Beethoven recital. .I was very impressed with his playing. He was one of the sanest pianists I have ever heard.

Oh, and if you wouldn't mind...Could you post the second movement? Thanks.

[RabidCh]

My first introduction to RIchter Haaser didn't leave me impressed, but this is grand playing here!

[go9zu]

Thanks for this video,this is great!

[aewanko300]

Powerful playing. Rhythmically sharp.
