@hansmeyer111 I said From 3:17 to 3:29, IMHO...however...is that enough to you ; )
-
@markomelesmiha you forgot to say: "In my opinion"
-
To call Richter a Master seems almost inadequate. He's that great.
-
@operastud82 It's up to inerpreter to use the pedal well or badly...If there is no pedal markings during the passage you cite it doesn't mean that one shouldn't use the pedal at all. Anyway, this is not the point. I just wanted to say that the miracle hasn't been produced. Maybe because Richter has such a huge répertoire and just hasn't got the time to pay attention of all those details.

@markomelesmiha Beethoven did not include any pedal markings during the passage that you cite. Between the pedal release in the middle of measure 147 and the direction of "tutte le corde" in measure 153, there are no pedal markings. If you have an edition that makes pedal references, then they are merely editorial and not Beethoven's.

From 3:17 to 3:29, IMHO, the most beautiful spot in entire Beethoven's music. Unfortunately, Richter passes over without paying attention. There are so many details: pedal must be generous to create that heavenly...cosmic...glowing atmosphere, so tender, so crying but optimistic at the same time...there is no words for all these feelings. Sorry, but nothing at all in Richter's interpretation (of that spot, of course). Ashkenazy is the closest
-
Kempff's interpretation is very good too but Richter did surpassed Kempff imo
-
Try listening to Kempff in the 1951 recording (DGG)
So many layers
So many worlds
This is poetry.
This music should be the testament for the humanity.
Words are useless.
