Description:

[Encore Press: The Art of Sviatoslav Richter] Richter (1915.3.20-1997.8.1), the greatest pianist of the 20th century, is commemorated the 100th anniversary of his birth with a series of encore pressings from a vast collection of DG and DECCA (including former Philips sources). Selected from a vast amount of sound sources from DG and DECCA (including former Philips sources). This is a limited release at a special price. Richter (1915.3.20-1997.8.1) is regarded as the greatest pianist of the 20th century. The two Haydn sonatas and Weber's Sonata No. 3 are rarely performed, but they are healthy and varied in expression. From the bright, lively, and witty expression to the lyricism and pathos of the tenderly played sonatas, the performances are full of humanistic charm and the deep flavor of a master musician. Recordings: March 1985 Freiburg (1), November 1966 Ferrara (2), September 1966 Locarno (3) (live)
