The Italian critic Piero Rattalino has asserted that the only pianists comparable to Richter in the history of piano performance were Franz Liszt and Ferruccio Busoni.

Glenn Gould called Richter "one of the most powerful communicators the world of music has produced in our time".
Arthur Rubinstein described his first exposure to Richter as follows: "It really wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Then at some point I noticed my eyes growing moist: tears began rolling down my cheeks."

Heinrich Neuhaus described Richter as follows: "His singular ability to grasp the whole and at the same time miss none of the smallest details of a composition suggests a comparison with an eagle who from his great height can see as far as the horizon and yet single out the tiniest detail of the landscape."
Vladimir Horowitz said: "Of the Russian pianists, I like only one, Richter."

Dmitri Shostakovich wrote of Richter: "Richter is an extraordinary phenomenon. The enormity of his talent staggers and enraptures. All the phenomena of musical art are accessible to him."
Pierre Boulez wrote of Richter: "His personality was greater than the possibilities offered to him by the piano, broader than the very concept of complete mastery of the instrument."
Gramophone critic Bryce Morrison described Richter as follows: "Idiosyncratic, plain-speaking, heroic, reserved, lyrical, virtuosic and perhaps above all, profoundly enigmatic, Sviatoslav Richter remains one of the greatest recreative artists of all time."

Sviatoslav Richter plays Beethoven - Sonata no.3 in C major, op.2, no.3 (1/3)
http://youtu.be/OgmIvjm4DL4

Richter presents the opening theme patiently, with a gorgeous singing tone. When the music abruptly swerves into e minor (the movement opens in E major), Richter creates a disquieting hovering effect that is chillingly foreboding. Finally, about two minutes in, the trombones come in, fortissimo; here Richter veritably redefines the word subito. It is like a huge void opening up: frightening, overwhelming, impersonal. The tempo doesn’t flinch. The effect is hypnotic (a word that Richter seems to provoke frequently) and profoundly mysterious. Perhaps this uncanniness is the natural byproduct of the fire of Beethoven’s music reacting with the ice of Richter’s objectivity. Like most truly great musical phenomena, it is impossible to describe. And you can listen in vain to every other great Beethoven pianist, from Schnabel to Richard Goode, and not find anything else like it. Is it hyperbole to suggest that Richter might be the one recorded pianist whose greatness of soul matches that of Beethoven?"

It’s ultimately Richter’s greatness of soul that saves his objective stance from sterility. This is why he’s so hard to imitate. Most of us would just sound dull and/or crass if we tried to play like him, because we lack his most essential qualities — his seemingly infinite capacity for concentration and his intense commitment to the music.

And his fingers weren’t pure steel — they were human and they slipped. He has a reputation for incredible technique, but it’s worth recalling that playing as inaccurate as his would never pass in a contemporary international piano competition. The same is true of any number of earlier greats: Horowitz and Rubinstein, not to mention Cortot and Schnabel. But neither Richter’s errors nor the errors of these other greats impedes the flow of the music itself. Contemporary competition pianists often compensate for their lack of conception with unimpeachable technique. Richter, by contrast, aimed for a breadth (he claimed to have 80 solo recital programs in his repertoire, without repetition) that made perfect accuracy humanly impossible — but the scope of his repertoire refined and deepened his voice throughout his career.

Sviatoslav Richter in Prague, 1959 - Beethoven Appassionata
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqewExfrxiM
(σχόλιο απο Themis Taflanidis)
‎"I know of nothing better than the Appassionata and could listen to it every day. What astonishing, superhuman music! It always makes me proud, perhaps with a childish naiveté, to think that people can work such miracles! ... But I can’t listen to music very often, it affects my nerves. I want to say sweet, silly things, and pat the little heads of people who, living in a filthy hell, can create such beauty" Vladimir Lenin.

"O Scriabin δεν είναι το είδος του συνθέτη για το καθημερινό ψωμί σας, αλλά είναι ένα βαρύ λικέρ με το οποίο μπορείς να μεθύσεις περιοδικά, ενα ποιητικό ναρκωτικό, ένα κρύσταλλο που σπάει εύκολα." S.Richter.
