This is awesome. I went to Pécs once, but I didn't hear anything like this, just walked in the pouring rain, drank too much local wine then watched a Star Trek film dubbed into Hungarian on TV back at the hotel.

The TRUE credit for these works of course go to Shostakovich. When I was in Russia, looking over his grave, I put a small pebble on his headstone and thanked him for what he gave to us. I’m certain I that I placed this thanks for you too. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

Richter's consistency of tempo was rigorous, so it's always a joy to hear his rubatos when he deploya them. Here he maintains tempi with his usual rigor. Most others take greater liberties with the fugue here

I'm waiting in vein for a pianist to improve on these performances, to improve in some way on Richter's uncanny penetrative interpretations of these pieces. Terrible shame that he didn't give us a complete set!! Many compete sets have come out over the years. But none of them is in the same league. Even Shostakovich himself, in his own performances, doesn't plumb the depths the way Richter does. I guess music, once created, may contain more than even the composer himself or herself contemplated or intended! The product is more than the process or the idea in the mind of the composer. That's what Richter shows us, time and time again. At least, this is my view of so much of Richter's legacy, especially in evidence with this music.

You 're very right, Sir. The reason for Richter not playing all the preludes could be, as he himself stated, he played only what he (Richter) found the most accomplished. He said several times that he didn't like playing the complete works of various composers (e.g. Shostakovich,Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff..) because he wasn't convinced by all their pieces...Concerning these amazing preludes and fugues by Shostakovich, there was even a disagreement : Shostakovich wanted Richter to play the whole set and tried repeated times to persuade Richter to do so... but Richter refused. In any case, the rendering of these preludes is such a marvellous performance!! Thank you so much for sharing it!!

I get the need to support these videos with advertising, and between movements or pieces is bearable I suppose, but I won't put up with adverts bursting in and interrupting in the middle of the music. It's as rude as talking loudly during a concert performance.

Some comments are about the piano being "out of tune". There is no such thing as a piano being in perfect tune. Putting twelve intervals in a octave just means that the notes will be ever so slightly off. That said, Richter could play these preludes and fugues on a bar piano and still convey all the loneliness Shostakovich must have felt when he composed these preludes and fugues.

Fascinating how Shostakovich would write pieces like these not be performed publicly - just to be put in his desk drawer (the Soviet authorities would disfavor trying to compose "Germanic" associated forms like fugues).

And still this music was produced under the Soviet authorities. This includes a whole plethora of composers under a whole number of schools. Soviet regime and colossally influential music. Paradoxical? Maybe. Nothing of the sort was possible in the West at that time or anywhere including Russia at present. It seems there are no obstacles to artistic expression, do what you like. But all we have today is shallow in comparison with art created at times of oppression.

Eugene S Pressure creates a greater concentration of the best things in a human as one struggles against the odds, and all sorts of mental junk falls off when one is faced with the live-or-die decision. Alright, a bit radical in Shostakovich’s case, but nonetheless, greatness stems from apparent oppression. Now in Russia there is complete freedom of speech, but a total lack of inspiration, hence, so many ordinary Russians secretly wish for the return of moderate authoritarianism (these two words sound paradoxical together, don’t they? haha) to replace the illusion of freedom. Choice debilitates.

@@27dimes Shostakovich was not 'oppressed'. He was a significant figure in the USSR, elected to the Supreme Soviet and awarded the first of the Stalin Prizes. The idea he was oppressed is a result of the cold war, not reality, imo. It is very common for Western liberals to appear unable listen to Soviet music without endowing composers with their own sentiments. It's a shame, since it lessens appreciation of the music itself.

mike murray Thank you for being the one to say this. I was particularly careful in my phrasing, hence use of the phrase “apparent oppression”. I really didn’t want to start explaining to people that their extreme anti-Soviet sentiments are fabricated, but you beat me to it! So no problem. Thanks for being the one to point it out, I’ll say again.

Well, Shostakovich was indeed oppressed by Soviet authorities, just as Prokofiev was. He won prizes and had stature (as Prokofiev did), but he was hounded and oppressed nevertheless. It was super difficult for them.
