Description: Description Karl Richter 1969 Live in Japan SACD Single Layer 3 title set Altus JAPAN Product introduction Bach's incarnation, Richter, first came to Japan in 1969! A limited edition set of three titles: a collection of intensely strict and magnificent performances from his lifetime, and long recordings on SACD single-layer discs! This limited edition set contains three SACD single-layer discs from Richter's 1969 Japan tour, released by ALTUS, in a craft-style three-sided case in the original packaging. Each disc is recorded for a long time on one disc, taking advantage of the characteristics of the single layer! You can enjoy the intensely strict and magnificent performances from his lifetime. [ALTSA-096] You will be blown away by the unprecedented performance of Bach's evangelist Richter, whose inspiration is overflowing, such as "Goldberg" on a modern harpsichord that radiates dazzling brilliance and is sometimes played with the strength of a heavy tank, and "Toccata and Fugue," "Fantasia and Fugue," and "Passacaglia," which are grand cathedrals of sound that are rich in emotion, bold, and have a wonderful three-dimensional buildup! [ALTSA-417] When it comes to Richter, the studio recording of "Matthew" in 1958 reigns as a super masterpiece, but I would also like you to listen to Richter's live performance. The overwhelming presence of the heavy, huge sound and the heat that can only be achieved through live performance will make you roar. Although the sound is strict and powerful, it is also not afraid of romantic swells at times, making this an intense Bach performance that even brings back memories. This is a great performance where the music is so real that it will pierce your heart. Richter, who has already become the incarnation of Bach, is on his own stage, with the deep and heavy bass sustained sound in the opening chorus and the magnificent worldview. The diminished seventh chord in "Barabbas!" is frighteningly amazing. The part "Truly, this man was the Son of God" gives you goosebumps, and is the height of timeless beauty. [ALTSA-420] "Mass in B Minor" is also called Bach's masterpiece. The famous Richter album that everyone knows is the studio recording from 1961, but this live performance should not be missed. The overwhelming presence that comes from the stern majesty and the heat that can only be achieved through live performance will make you groan. The sound is strict and powerful, but at times it does not shy away from romantic swells, making this an intense Bach performance that even brings back memories. This is a great performance where the music is so real that it pierces your heart. From the sharp "Kyrie," the abstract terror of the "Curcifixus," the piercing, brilliant trumpet sounds, to the slow, moving final fugue, Richter's passionate empathy is packed into every part of the piece.Work information Performers: Karl Richter (harpsichord, organ, conductor) Orchestral: Munich Bach Orchestra Choir: Munich Bach Choir Soprano: Ursula Buckel Alto: Marga Höfgen Tenor: Ernst Höfliger Bass: Ernst Gerold Schramm Composer: Johann Sebastian BachContents Number of discs | 3 Track Listing ALTSA096 (SACD Single Layer) J.S.
