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. Richter had a wide repertoire and played many contemporary works, but he did not leave many recordings of 20th century works. This live recording made in Vienna in February 1989 is a very valuable and interesting album, as it features only 20th century works and is a very convincing performance. Recorded live in Vienna, February 1989
