Karl Richter was one of the few organists and conductors who could interpret Bach in his musical statements in the way that Bach presented his faith in his music! A reigning god who wanted to pass on his love to people in his transitions in the legatho of gentle fatigue. My personal musical feeling conforms to that!
I've watched almost every version of this fugue on UA-cam and this one is still the best. I come back to watch Richter multiple times every year during Halloween!
@@richardwalker9826 Good version, thx, notably slower though--a full 3 minutes slower. I think I prefer the shorter version...not sure how Bach intended it.
Słuchałem wielu wersji, wielu mistrzów organów jednak ta wersja mistrza Karla Richtera jest jedyna i niepowtarzalna. Dynamizm, rytm i polot wykonania w tym bezbłędna technika emanująca siłą wzbudza emocje, które nakazują słuchać tej wersji kolejny i kolejny raz. To wykonanie powinno być wzorem dla wszystkich początkujących organistów jak właściwie interpretować geniusz mistrza Bacha.
Okay he's playing from memory. Doing four things at the same. Wearing such ungodly shoes. Still manages to pull off what JSB thought was impossible. Also, nonchalantly. Concentration must have been off the scale. The best I've ever heard
Karli, as we called him in the family was such a talent. I grew up listening to his play, interpretations, and of course the Matthias Passion once a year. (He was my grandfather's brother) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree with you on just about every observation. I too very much liked everything about the performance, including the shoes ! You say ungodly I say dapper! 😊🌹
Karl Richter è grandioso!!! Perfetto nella profondità, nella durata e nel tempo!!! Esecuzione superlativa, e a tutt'oggi la migliore in assoluto delle tante che ho ascoltato !
WITHOUT A DOUBT, SIMPLY THE BEST TOCCATA & FUGUE MASTER IN THE WORLD! SOMETIMES I WONDER IF BACH HIMSELF COULD PLAY ALONG WITH MR. RICHTER... WHAT A TREAT THAT WOULD BE... HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE HIS LAST NAME... A FUGUE IN THE EARTHQUAKE RICHTER SCALE!!! NO CEREMONIOUS B.S. LIKE OTHER MUSICIANS THAT I'VE HEARD, JUST PURE SEBASTIAN BACH AT ITS BEST. BRAVISSIMO!!! J.S.BACH IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST COMPLETE COMPOSER AND MUSICIAN OF ALL TIMES AND HERE IS WHY. ANYONE AGREE?
@Phoenix One: Nice Comment. Richter is the alltime No One - he's uncomparable. Composers: Bach is always in Top Five, sometimes he wins, then comes Mozart and wins, the next game goes to Beethoven, at Round 4 Haendel is master and now it's up to You deciding No 5
When asked about the energy-draining self-imposed burden of work he set himself, he would reply "My time is now" and "We Richters don't grow old. He died at age 54 of a heart attack. 😥
I actually heard Sjatoslav Richter play a Beethoven Sonata in Copenhagen at Tivoli concert house. It was summer and very hot. Richter was in a terrible mood, dont remenber him speaking at all. I think I feel asleep at one time at the concert, the hall was dimly lit. And it was a long Beethoven sonata.
Other versions I have listened to sound like listening to a carrot swirling around from the bottom of a bowl of soup. This version is crisp and sharp. Every note is an individual piece of music in a complex arrangement. Spectacular performance.
Grazie Maestro Richter. Esecuzione grandiosa e fantastica fatta dal più grande organista ed interprete di Bach di tutti i tempi. Danke Meister Richter !
I'm no organ player but from about 5:30 - 6:30, the the skills to play this masterpiece seem almost humanly impossible. I can't tell which hand is doing the melody...not to mention the foot work. The climax of intensity has to be around the 6:45 - 7:45 mark.
The Fuge isn't really hard it looks harder than it sems. You really get use to it and also the Pedaling is a mechanic work together with the hands, everything connects to each other in the notes so it's only the vision who makes it look so hard.
GEANT ! quand on écoute une telle maitrise,l'esprit,la sensibilité,l'affectif se dilatent jusqu'à l'abstraction de 2001,l'odyssée de l'espace.Le quotidien parait tellement sordide en comparaison de cette sublimité musicale !

@@SuperMartins13 Seriously? For my part, I would have guessed The Wedge BWW 548. It brings mind Nietzsches Story of Madman: THE MADMAN----Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: "I seek God! I seek God!"---As many of those who did not believe in God were standing around just then, he provoked much laughter. Has he got lost? asked one. Did he lose his way like a child? asked another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? emigrated?---Thus they yelled and laughed The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his eyes. "Whither is God?" he cried; "I will tell you. We have killed him---you and I. All of us are his murderers. But how did we do this? How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us? Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning? Do we hear nothing as yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we smell nothing as yet of the divine decomposition? Gods, too, decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. "How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it? There has never been a greater deed; and whoever is born after us---for the sake of this deed he will belong to a higher history than all history hitherto." Here the madman fell silent and looked again at his listeners; and they, too, were silent and stared at him in astonishment. At last he threw his lantern on the ground, and it broke into pieces and went out. "I have come too early," he said then; "my time is not yet. This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering; it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time; the light of the stars requires time; deeds, though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than most distant stars---and yet they have done it themselves. It has been related further that on the same day the madman forced his way into several churches and there struck up his requiem aeternam deo. Led out and called to account, he is said always to have replied nothing but: "What after all are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?"

yes, it is unclear why else to play. in my opinion, this is the best performance of Bach's masterpiece. And I am also very pleased that Karl Richter is the namesake of another great performer - pianist Svyatoslav Richter. So everything is fine
30 years ago a book I read mentioned that Bach could sound like the voice of God under the influence of LSD. I listened to Richter (without LSD) and my God, he really is the master of Bach. Exquisite.
