@jjm427 I would, if I hadn't too much respect for Bach's work.
Richter's interpretations sound like avalanches of sand to me. Coarse, dry and unpleasant. How anyone could prefer Richter to any conductor is beyond me.

@ManricdelaVirolla in live recordings... richter does. in recordings... the sound engineers and producers couldn't care less. but all his live perfs... included a good amount of silence... and ever so dramatically, richter, unlike anyone else... would have the choir sing ever so softly the following chorale. his tokyo 1969 live performance is a beautiful performance of this...

@jjm427 I humbly agree

Beautiful..I studied with kurt Hausmann (EH closest to bassoon) for 11 years and have played this Passion...NOT easy parts. They lay very uncomfortable. Shows how a Meister can make it sound so easy.

Eugen Jochum thought it extremely important to stress the moment of Christ's death by inserting a longish pause after the words "...und verschied" and before the entrance of the low-voice chorale. This pause gives a great dramatism to the moment, but Richter chooses not to use it. In fact, he does not insert pauses at all throughout the performance, and I think it is a pity.
