RCA, 1993 About as good as it can possibly be played When Richter first arrived on the musical scene in the West, he went on a whirlwind tour of America, including numerous concerts at Carnegie Hall. This recording is part of that well-anticipated tour. Power, subtlety, angst are all present here. Richter really ...             Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 2; Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 Sergey Rachmaninov, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 This Rach 2; The greatest performance of anything I've ever heard I listen to music so much that sometimes I literally wear out entire composers. This happens a lot with Chopin, but within a week everything is the same again. However, with this performance by Richter I don't ever remember tiring of it, or Richter. In fact, I no ...             Bach: Well-Tempered Clavier Johann Sebastian Bach RCA Victor Europe, 1992 From other world You know, I am not real Bach fan, I like many other composers much more, but there are few recordings of Bach which are great, fantastic and have the place of honour in my (very large) collection.

Philips, 1995 Consummate Mastery In The Liszt Concertos If you are new to the late Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter, arguably the greatest all-round keyboard virtuoso of the last century, this is a splendid place to start.

EMI Classics, 1999 Big, Brooding, Boring Beethoven. Excellent Brahms. This *should* be an excellent rendition of the triple concerto. But when dealing with such an intricate and sophisticated work, mere virtuosity is not enough. In a *triple concerto*, what is required is synergy, harmony, unity. This recording is virtually devoid of ...             Beethoven: Complete Music for Cello & Piano Maurice Gendron, Mstislav Rostropovich, ... Philips, 1994 Beethoven would have smiled Rostroprovich and Richter are poster children for the merits of recording the lesser-known works of past masters. It is astonishing to believe that the Beethoven of, say, Symphonies, 3, 7, and 9 also sat himself down to compose small music like these pieces for two ...             Collection 1: The Solo Piano Recordings (Box) Martha Argerich MINISTRY OF SOUND US, 2008 Nice package All fans know these widely available recordings. The set is tightly packed box, cardboard sleeves with reproductions of original LPs: so nostalgic. Also the short LP playing times are there.

Philips, 1998 Nicest classical CD I have found for my baby (& me) This is a very pleasant CD to listen to, and I think the quality of the music is excellent. I enjoy listening to this with my 10 month old son, and we also listen to the radio and lots of modern music. I recently purchased 5 of the classical "Baby Einstein" CDs and I ...             Pianist of the Century (Box) Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2009 A prize indeed -- Richter in full command DG only caught Richter on disc for six years (1956-62), but what years they were. Of the nine discs he made, several are among his greatest concerto recordings (the Schumann, Rachmaninov Second, Prokofiev Fifth), with the solo music scarcely at a lower level.

RCA, 1998 Peaceful and Beautiful I have purchased this CD twice, first for myself to listen to during labor and secondly for a friend who has a new, very stressful job.
