By: mcc consulting Hugo E. Martin On February 17th 1981, Joachim Kaiser wrote in his obituary for Karl Richter, "It was the spontaneous versatility which was the source of Richter’s knowledge and artistry. Over and over again in during his magnificent but all too short a career as conducer he was able to achieve a new approach to the great works of Bach. Suddenly, surprised but fascinated the choir had to go along with new and unfamiliar tempi, always making it sound, though often rehearsed, as fresh and moving as if it was the very first time." Part 3 of the Karl-Richter- Karl Richter was one of the most significant Bach-interpreters of the last century. With his concert performances and gramophone recordings of the sixties and seventies he set a worldwide standard as conductor cembalist and organist. Johannes Martin, together with friends, former colleagues as well as ardent admirers of Karl Richter’s music have worked intensively for the last three and a half years to produce this documentary. In 2006, on the occasion of Karl Richter’s 80th birthday (and the 25th anniversary of his death) the book "Karl Richter in Munich-contemporary witnesses remember" was brought out. This was followed by the completed film trilogy, which retraces the 30-year long Karl Richter era in Munich. A multitude of photographs, films, old normal 8 and super 8 films as well as audio recordings of live concerts and excerpts from interviews with contemporary witnesses give testimony to Karl Richter’s exceptional status in the musical world of Munich.
