Moving...

The tempo he choices to interpret the fugue makes me feel as there are no hammers in a piano but voices of a choir... Imagine.. How could this fugue sound, sung by a choir?...

@tzeleustremlennost, this is some of the most moving playing I've ever heard.

You've picked, I think, one of... no... THE greatest interpretation of the Bk 1 C sharp Minor p and f currently available on CD! Go listen to all the others out there, folks. Interpretations like this gives meaning to the claim (often made) that this guy is the greatest pianist of all time. That old Bosendorfer never spoke like this!

in a Goodwill (second-hand) store I found a 30-year-old cassette of Richter playing the first part of WTC-1. For 50 cents. Through the noise on the tape you can still hear the notes, clear like bells in the distance. It sounds even more haunting than perfect sound quality

@guitarfan1979 : There is nothing you can give. Bach would probably be not even interested in comprehending you (or I for that matter) !

@gkollias14 yes

Incredible.

When I hear Richter playing Bach I feel that the world stops and that there is no time, unecessary sound. Richter playing Bach feels to me like the whole universe is involved and that there is a strong sense of completeness and grandness and majestical yet not 'grandiosso' .

@tzeleustremlennost What a humanist approach to Bach. Stark contrast to the austerity of Glen Gould. Did he find solace and expression for his unfulfilled personal life in his music?
