Richter's dreams

“How magical it all sounds, and what an atmosphere of joy you find yourself in! We must bow at the feet of the art of music and Johann Sebastian Bach...” - “Towards Richter”, Irina Klenskaya at the microphone...

Richter loved dreams. He liked to tell them, and Yuri Borisov liked to write them down. One day Richter dreamed that he was a sculptor who sculpted Adam, but in the same dream he was also the sculptor’s assistant. Strange. Richter asked Borisov: “Tell me, have you ever seen yourself in a split in a dream, so that there were two people and both of these people were you?” It seemed to him that there was a huge world inside him, wonderful, secret; and everything in this world is connected in some fantastic way: perfumes, paintings of all styles, a spyglass, performances in Shakespeare’s Globe, pentagrams in front of a burning candle and, of course, dreams. Richter plays “The Well-Tempered Clavier” - Bach helps remember life, and Yuri Borisov writes down story after story. And we look at the pictures and dream...

“A well-tempered clavier. Volume II",

Prelude No. 1 in C major. “I see dad playing music at the organ. Opposite the altar, in the third choir.

When I was already in Moscow, he improvised at the civil memorial service for Pribik. In Odessa all there was talk was: “I improvised like Cesar Frank.”

Dad always sat on a brown cushion. A ray of sun penetrating through the glass touched his back.”

Fugue. “This is my grandfather, who was a music master. He gave birth to about twelve children - like Vermeer in his time. Thomas Mann with his six is a pitiful child... Children always looked into their grandfather's mouth, and he loved playing the piano more than earning money.

In this music I hear children’s hubbub and joy on the occasion of the birth of another angel.”
