Sviatoslav Richter playing Brahms' op. 118 nr 6 Intermezzo. This was played as one of four encores at his 28 November 1963 recital in Leipzig and is Richter's only known recording of this piece.

  • even better then my idol, Rubinshtein!!

  • I love the beginning of the middle section: so subtle, controlled, yet full of flair

  • The greatest pianist of all time. 

  • @dalecampbl9 yes i totally agree he was the master!

  • There is another recording, a studio recording made in Salzburg in 1972 along with Op 118 nr 1 and 3. Just as mesmerising, just a little more taught and without the error near the end of his Leipzig recording. Just extraordinary, takes you into another world. Richter was one of the few complete artists of the 20th century, a giant. His performances could be erratic, and sometimes failed to connect, but they were always interesting.

  • One of the best live recording ever. I have a copy of the CD and treasure it.

  • Such power housed in incredible tenderness. It felt like Brahms himself were at the keyboard!

  • can we put up videos of richter playing all the op.118? he is the greatest there ever was

  • this guy is the greatest interpreter of romantic music I have ever encountered...he's better than Horowitz and Rubenstein...he is last century's #1 pianist...I'm completely seriously about my high approvals for sviatoslav richter

  • @graiboon9898 Oh, nice, when are you uploading??
