1979 Tokyo, Richter's Last Japan Tour J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations '79, Live Recording! A performance that overturns the image of Richter, often described as a "strange performance"!! A thrilling performance played with single-minded devotion, a grand performance taking 78 minutes. This unusual performance inevitably reveals a side of the later years of Richter's madness, with the unexpected lute stop in the 15th variation being eerily unsettling. The famous 29th and 30th variations also have the overwhelming power and passion of a German wild man dancing wildly. Although there are many mistakes, the improvisational repetitions keep the listener engaged. Unprecedented and unparalleled, there will never be another Goldberg like this.
