    Some people only seem to count wrong notes in stead of listening to the entire interpretation. Richter was for a long time the best concert pianist in the world.

    My God what an extraordinary performance! Richter seems to consume the whole instrument, and what an awesome climax.

      yeah , right. 17 Huge bumnotes and a lot of stress about playing it smoothly . 4.52-4.55 is my favourite moment . yours?

      actually 4.51-4.58 is one the ''best'' passages of piano disaster. wtf? are you all deaf?

    Obviously this isn't Richter's best live performance, but over the years I learned to filter the wrong notes and coughing and I enjoyed it. Richter's BBC recording may be the best live performance we have, but I still find this one more emotional and moving.

      17 audible mistakes . wtf? what is that special about playing that bad? lang lang missed only 2 notes in a full ceaicovsky first piano concerto. what's wrong with you guys? and he plays with fear. he is not relaxed at all.

      @@gxgxvmc8585 What's wrong in my opinion is to consider music simply technically as you do. Richter is regarded as a genius for the emotions he gave... But here there is obviously a misunderstanding between us about what music aims...

    Richter’s interpretation of l’Ile Joyeuse is ideal : we no longer belong to earth with this view and treatment of the opus. It never has been reached to this stage of perfection to my opinion and feeling...

      More like the latter. His countrywoman, Anna Tsybuleva’s performance shows more Gallic sensibility and less Slavic ferocity!

    Oh no, no. Listen to Horowitz. With Horowitz you have super human clarity,incredible color, you can hear the waves of the ocean, you can feel, the sun. much greater delineation of the inner voices. And the orgiastic finish. I mean this is good. But it's also too rushed.

    I do not care about wrong notes. I do care about interpretation. And this one, like most of the time with richter (for my ears), is absolutely non-creative, boring and without passion or fire. Together with pollini, ashkenazy, rubinstein and bolet, one of the most non-creative musicians. But, great pianist that's for sure, but you need more to be an "interesting" interpret.
