@TripleRhu Unfortunately, Schumann crippled himself by trying to "stretch" his own hands with a mechanical contraption he devised.
-
@ipublica His hands were broken too.

3:41 - development section begins: glasses off, please !!!

@Chicken937 Think you are right on the first half of your comment. Age catched on to him? That's my explanation for his play. I think his early and midlife recordings are a lot better.

@rankfrankrank sir he played all kind of pianos....this famous record of the chopin etude no.4 was played on a "wall piano" not even a concert instrument. but this didnt bother him at all... he always said, there are no bad instruments, but bad players....

Abilty to take 12 is not an enormous phenomenon-Rachmaninoff,Van Clibern,Volodos(?), Berezovsky,all of them could do the same.It's just an attribute of technical skills. For me his playing here is too heavy and serious,it's not the game it becomes like Beethoven's symphony(especially his growling sforzando,almost like Beethoven).It always seems that Richter deliberately hides his own idea of piece for the sake of authentiс conception. Commendable intention that not always leads to good result

@rankfrankrank NO ! He NEVER choose the instruments ! NEVER ! There is no bad instruments...there is a bad performers...he says in documentary about him.
-
perfect tempo!!
-
Well , we all know how Richter can play this Tocatta. This time he was probably too busy playing another 44.564.565 repertoires so he didn't have time to practice. Still he is a master, even with false notes.

The best performance ever! The rest interpreters do it to fast.

Sit down at the piano and play the first ten measures, and you will know ... the tensions in the hand are immense, not for Richter but for the rest of the world ... Richter could grasp a 12th, most pianists being happy to get a 10th from C to E not to talk about a tenth from A to C#. Schumann had small hands, he surely couldn't play his own composition. He had to wait in the grave to watch a Richter play it long after his death ...

i cant believe some people think this is "just noise" (the other video had many people saying that)
its very beautiful though i can understand why some people might say its just noise
