Glenn Gould - Sviatoslav Richter.
(speaking about Richter’s interpretation of Schubert : ‘Sonata in G major’)
“I was witnessing a union of two supposedly irreconcilable qualities. Intense analytical calculation revealed through a spontaneity equivalent to improvisation. And I realized at that moment, as I have on many subsequent occasions while listening to Richter’s recordings, that I was in the presence of one of the most powerful communicators the world of music has produced in our time.”
Glenn Gould.
