Sviatoslav Richter in the 1950's, Vol. 3

Sviatoslav Richter in the 1950's, Vol. 3

Much of the repertoire here is new to Richter's ever-growing discography, notably 53 minutes worth of transcendent Liszt AnnÃ©es de Pelerinage excerpts, and a haunting Ravel Le Gibet. A live Beethoven Pathetique sonata proves more individual and arresting than Richter's excellent studio recording, as does this 1954 Weber 3rd Sonata to the better- recorded 1966 Philips version. Richter fans, however, will truly be floored by a whirling Ravel Alborado del gracioso and Rachmaninoff's Ã‰tudes- tableaux in E-flat, played better than humanly possible. Don't pass this set up! --Jed Distler
