  • What's with the bad sound in the beginning? Is that applause??? What year is this from?

  • Yes, this is a storm of applause...

    It should be 1977 but I'm not completely sure.

  • Only in heaven it is possible to play so well!!! WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL!!!!!!

  • Richter and Gould had a complete different concept style of paying. The use of the pedal for example, which is strictly minimal with Gould's interpretation is with Richter a lyrical or human element and draw on discreet dynamic layers. They have complete different tempi (as Dinu Lipatti) it means only one important matter: Bach is such a rich composer that when interpreted at this level it can only enriched our lives. Thank you posting this concert.

  • @embenadorfinearts We just need to splice their DNA then to get the definitive Bach interpreter.

  • In the past, I used to love Gould so much and his all interpretations of Bach. Then later on learning about other great pianists, I came to confess that there are more frank, more touchy interpretations. For me now Richter has a feeling, ein Gefühl, something felt in, rather than dictating the piece. This may be related to his assumption about recording. He didnt like recording at all. You may only record in your mind in your heart ,it is a fact. I am lucky to be Richters contemporary.

  • meravigliosa interpretazione Bach starebbe orgoglioso grazie
