It is a rare recital recorded at the Palais de Chaillot—located on the opposite bank of the Seine near the Champs-Élysées in France, seemingly mirroring the Eiffel Tower; it remains a popular tourist destination today, with numerous cultural facilities, including the Théâtre de Chaillot, adjacent to it—a venue also known for hosting performances by Karajan.\nRichter finally made his debut in the West after 1960 (his concert tour of the United States instantly made his name known throughout the world). This recording captures a concert held the very next year, which took place amid immense public anticipation. The program consists entirely of works that Richter long cherished as his signature pieces: a Haydn sonata, selections from Debussy’s *Preludes, Book 1*, and a short piece by Prokofiev. The performance is an outstanding one that truly conveys the rich musicality characteristic of the Russian piano tradition.\nThis recording is a famous one that was originally released on LP by several labels and later reissued on CD. This release marks its first CD reissue in a long time—and as a budget-priced reissue at that—making it a must-have.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vanguard Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595641872673,"sku":"699675158620","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/699675158620.jpg?v=1790482076","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/699675158620","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
