  • he left out the best part

  • i've listened to this piece probably 10 times now and that last few times were VERY enjoyable. no one can understand a piece by Chopin the first couple of times. you say you DO understand but don't enjoy? you would know you have understood once you enjoy. if you think this is nothing special i am VERY sorry for you and wish you better times in the future.

  • Barbican, March 1988. I was there and this is indelibly imprinted.

  • @anonymousQ45 He was just practicing. This is from the documentary about him, "The Enigma."

  • Richter insisted to play his concerts with little light as possible, which explains this video. Richter was born with a perfect pitch, but when he got older this perfect pitch started to drop down. It became more and more a problem to Richter, he start to make faliures in his playing and is was unbeareble to him and ended as very disillusioned.

  • @FeuVache ohhh i thought who's that guy saying "tutrotutututut" or something like that.

    anyways, thank you :)

    he's a genius :)

  • @coolasianbrian LOL! That is Richter himself ;). This segment is taken from a very interesting documentary that is on youtube, Richter - The Enigma.

  • who the heck is that guy on the intro?

  • I wonder why Richter, who always meticulously followed the score, played the ascending notes at the end in a decrescendo instead of a crescendo. I can only assume that he was using some crappy Russian edition where the direction of the hairpin was fucked up, because it is very much unlike Richter to disregard and even do the opposite of a direct indication.

  • awesome
