@RedWasabii

Why is there so much commenting and talking about music here on Youtube. Do you realize it is RICHTER playing this piece, not a second year music student. I think we should let the masters handle the art.

[Sagene04]

And I think he probably had some meanings and views on how to play this piece. He made it himself.

@pianoboy75 this music is amazing ......

[pianoboy75]

one genius playing another genius' work

[Ariavariata95]

Superb. i wish I could play the fugue the way he does. I just wish I could play the prelude =D

[4hm3dimr4n]

This may not be in proper Baroque style but this can really help people that aren't so fond of composers like Bach to see the genius in his music. If it wasn't for this romanticized interpretations of the prelude then I'd still be listening to the Romantic era and ignoring the Baroque era completely.

@marianomanto Sviatoslav

[marianomanto]

@jimloomb is this Karl Richter or Sviatoslav Richter?

[aatz1982]

pretty selfish of him not to record the goldberg variations. what a swine.

[hbmp88]

Oh this fugue sounds so nice! Currently in the process of learning it :)

[L420licious]

i much prefer this tempo for the prelude.. for the fugue not so much.. but it's a question of taste :)
