Sviatoslav Richter - Complete HMV & Teldec Recordings (CD)

Sviatoslav Richter: Complete HMV & Teldec Recordings - Often named the supreme pianist of his era, Sviatoslav Richter (1915-1997) was a poet of the keyboard and an enigmatic, sometimes eccentric figure. These 24 CDs span three centuries of music - repertoire for solo piano and piano duo, chamber music, song and concerto - and bring Richter together with other great artists of his time. As the New York Times wrote, his pianism "combined astonishing technical mastery with bold, wide-ranging musical imagination. His control over the colorings of piano tone was incomparable." This 24-CD box set gathers together all the recordings that Sviatoslav Richter made, primarily in the 1970s, for the HMV (EMI) and Teldec labels.
