Sviatoslav Richter live im Puschkin Museum Moskau -
Die großen technischen und musikalischen
Anforderungen meistert der große russische
Pianist, trotz fortgeschrittenen Alters, noch vorzüglich.
Seine Darstellung der Toccata op.7 von Schumann
gerät so zum musikalischen Ereignis.

  • Stupendous performance...I have the legendary DG performance on CD. I think Richter's tempo in that one is a bit faster than here, and I like the piano sound a bit more, but both performances are great! Being able to WATCH Richter in his virtuosity here certainly adds much to appreciating his magnificence as a performer! He is one of several great artists I would have given several years off my life to have heard in person!

  • i was happy enough to hear him 3 times live.once he played the brahms sonata in f sharp minor op.2 and szymanowsky second sonata and variations op.21.

    it was just unbelievable...

  • 5:47 - 6:05 unbelievable!

  • A few months before this performance I had first heard Richter play live (Beethoven Rondi op 51, Sonata op 101 and Variations on a theme by Diabelli ). His 1959 recording of Schumann's Toccata has been hardwired into my musical mind for more than 25 years - with my eyes shut, this one is clearly Richter. For one reason or another Richter had a page turner - you can see him in the video, however he does not require any sheet music for this performance of the Toccata

  • PURE GENIUS!!
