A Must-Have for Fans of Richter and of Great Pianists
Mark Kelly | Oxon Hill, MD United States | 12/09/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This set contains recordings of Bach, Bartok, Beethoven (including Pathetique and Appassionata), Chopin, Franck, Glazunov, Mussogsky, Myakovsky, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Rimsky-Korsakov, Saint-Saens, Schubert, Schumann, Scriabin, and Tchaikovsky. The recordings were made from 1952- 1995 by Melodiya. Although the sonic quality of the older recordings is obviously not up to today's standards, the musicality is still there. Notes include some insight into Richter's background, training, and relationship with each composer's music."

"This box set is amazing. Richter's performance of Rachmaninov's 2nd concerto is even better than on the famed Deutsche Grammophon recording. Beethoven's 'Pathetique' is equally astounding, and the 'Apassionata' is--by his own admission--Richter's best performance of the piece. The rest of the set--from Bach to Prokofiev--showcases the breadth of Richter's talent. I recommend this to all; it is a bargain at any price."
