Richter plays Brahms Intermezzo Op.119 No.3 

A truly Brahmsian, wistful, nostalgic interpretation. Bravo!

This is my fav so far - Rubinstein's was my favorite after I'd heard Lupu and Serkin who in my opinion both, as you said, "took the 'giocoso' too much too heart." But this Richter interpretation is exactly what I was looking for. I love Richter.

this was what I played in the 8th grade at the graduation concert... was great... gonna play it again someday :D

...wonderful Brahms played by the wonderful Richter.. he was one of the greatest Brahms interpreters worldwide! :-)

I just listened to Rubenstein playing this and then Richter. Much as I worship Rubenstein, I really prefer Richter's. So gentle, playful, yearning, a bit more intense where needed. All good. I'm working on this piece myself.

and Oh, that tone - 'wow' moments like 1:49

天啟的一刻，彈得如此動人，即使是里赫特本人，一生只怕也僅此一次。此曲結束後觀眾鼓掌達六分鐘，他們大概心底深處也隱隱約約感到了什麼。勃拉姆斯修立金字塔，葬下這具法老的遺骸，只有里赫特在這兩分九秒中令他活了過來，別的鋼琴家都不過是在展覽屍體。

Rubinstein tookthe "giocoso" too much to heart. I dislike Rubinstein's interpretation of this divinely beautiful Intermezzo,and love Richter's. Brahms sent his last three opuses to Clara Schumann with the words "Ich schicke Dir die Wigenlieder meine Schmerzen." "I am sending you the cradle songs of my sorrows."

Lovely, sensitive performance, albeit a little slow. Listen to Eileen Joyce play this for contrast.

Quand on a du génie. ..

@berlinzerberus And he is just playing, what he is reading at the score...

@MrBeblues me too :)

I love Richter, but Lipatti has the right touch for this.
