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.

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a close confidante of Richter, plus an essay by Jed Distler, editorial notes by Markus Kettner, and previously unpublished photos.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...) more...
