  • Hans Richter (János Richter) (4 April 1843 – 5 December 1916) was an Austrian conductor. Richter was born in Raab, Hungary, and studied at the Vienna Conservatory. He had a particular interest in the horn, and developed his conducting career at several opera-houses in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He became associated with Richard Wagner in the 1860s, and in 1876 he was chosen to conduct the first complete performance of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus. In 1877, he assisted the ailing composer as conductor of a major series of Wagner concerts in London, and from then onwards he became a familiar feature of English musical life, appearing at many choral festivals including as principal conductor of the Birmingham Triennial Music Festival (1885-1909) and directing the Hallé Orchestra (1899-1911) and the newly-formed London Symphony Orchestra (1904-1911). In Europe his work was chiefly based in Vienna, where (transcending the bitter division between the followers of Wagner and those of Johannes Brahms) he gave much attention to the works of Brahms himself, Anton Bruckner (who once slipped a coin into his hand after a concert by way of tip) and Antonín Dvořák; he also continued to work at Bayreuth. In later years Richter became a whole-hearted admirer of Sir Edward Elgar, and he also came to accept Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. On one occasion, he laid down his baton and allowed a London orchestra to play the whole second movement of Tchaikovsky's Pathétique Symphony itself. Never afraid to experiment on behalf of the music he loved, he lent his authority to an English-language production of The Ring at Covent Garden (1908). Failing eyesight forced his retirement in 1911. He died in Bayreuth in 1916. Richter's approach to conducting was monumental rather than mercurial or dynamic, emphasising the overall structure of major works in preference to bringing out individual moments of beauty or passion. Some observers regarded him as little more than a time-beater, but others, notably Eugene Goossens, pointed out the remarkable rhythmic vitality of his work, a quality which hardly squares with the image of Richter as a rather stolid and static personality. A rebuke he is supposed to have made to a musician in the Covent Garden orchestra is still sometimes quoted: 'Up with your damned nonsense have I put twice, or maybe once, but sometimes, always, by God, never'.

  • Studiò al conservatorio di Vienna, interessandosi in particolare al corno) e intraprendendo quindi la carriera di direttore d'orchestra in vari teatri d'opera dell'Impero austro-ungarico. Negli anni Sessanta del XIX secolo conobbe Richard Wagner, che nel 1876 lo scelse per dirigere la prima rappresentazione del ciclo completo de L'anello del Nibelungo al Festspielhaus di Bayreuth. L'anno seguente Richter accompagnò e assistette l'anziano compositore, la cui salute iniziava a declinare, in una serie di grandi concerti a Londra, e da quel momento divenne una figura nota nell'ambiente musicale inglese, partecipando a numerosi festival corali e come direttore della neonata London Symphony Orchestra. In Europa il suo lavoro si svolse prevalentemente a Vienna, dove, superando la tradizionale divisione fra i seguaci di Wagner e gli ammiratori di Johannes Brahms, contribuì a diffondere la musica di quest'ultimo, come di Anton Bruckner e Antonín Dvořák; continuò inoltre a dirigere al Festival di Bayreuth. Negli ultimi anni Richter divenne un entusiasta ammiratore di Edward Elgar e giunse ad apprezzare anche Čajkovskij: una volta posò la bacchetta e lasciò che un'orchestra londinese suonasse tutto il secondo movimento della sinfonia Pathétique di Čajkovskij da sola. Sempre pronto alle sperimentazioni, diede il suo appoggio a una produzione in lingua inglese del Ring al Covent Garden nel 1908. La diminuzione della vista lo costrinse ad abbandonare le scene nel 1911.

Tijdens een concert in Bazel kropen Richter en Wagner achter de piano en speelden samen het hoorntrio in Es, opus 40 van Johannes Brahms. In zijn leven heeft Hans meer dan 4500 concerten en opera's gedirigeerd. Hij leidde de première van Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen in Bayreuth (1876).
