SVIATOSLAV RICHTER The Lost Tapes | Beethoven: Sonatas Nos. 18, 27, 28 & 31 (Unearthed after nearly 60 years in the archives of Deutsche Grammophon, this long-lost document of Sviatoslav Richter's peerless artistry finally receives itsfirst-ever release. Captured live at the Lucerne Festival and La Grange de Meslay in 1965, these stunning performances reveal Richter at the peak of his interpretative powers-performing Beethoven with boldness, risk, and extraordinary intensity. These recordings of Piano Sonatas No. 18 in E-flat major "The Hunt", No. 28 in A major, and No. 31 in A-flat major deliver a strikingly modern and emotionally expansive approach, free from studio confines. The edition includes a recent interview with Elisabeth Leonskaja, a close confidante of Richter, plus an essay by Jed Distler, editorial notes by Markus Kettner, and previously unpublished photos. Pressed on two 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl records. Factory sealed inside a gatefold picture sleeve. Essential listening for piano and Richter afficionados alike...)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
First-time release of legendary 1965 Lucerne and Tours recordings, newly restored by Emil Berliner Studios.
For sixty years these recordings, which were made by Deutsche Grammophon at the Tours and Lucerne Festivals in 1965, have slumbered in the Yellow Label's archives. Carefully restored by Emil Berliner Studios, they are being released now for the very first time. Like many other artists, Richter felt that he could play more freely and give better performances in the concert hall rather than in the studio. These tremendous recordings reveal the pianist at the pinnacle of his powers.
