As many of these recordings are currently difficult to obtain, this release is most welcome.\n\nWhat’s fascinating is that while all three performers display masterful technique, their interpretive approaches differ. Although Richter’s beloved protégé, Melnikov, has also released a superb CD of the “24 Preludes and Fugues,” this collection reaffirms that the sheer magnitude of Richter’s music is a treasure that no one else can replicate.\n\nEven more delightful is the fact that 18 of the 24 pieces are performed by the composer Shostakovich himself. These recordings—which can only be described as a treasure of humanity—are utterly compelling, showcasing a virtuosity every bit as impressive as that of Richter, Gilels, and Nikolaeva.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Profil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53414264832289,"sku":"881488200546","price":5990.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/881488200546.jpg?v=1788096424","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/881488200546","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
