"One of the greatest pianists of all time ... his technique astounding."
- Gramophone
"I'd have to have this with me on a desert island. It's one of the best examples of a master getting to grips with a popular work and recreating it anew: it's sensational."
- BBC Music Magazine
These two performances by Grammy-winning Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter are now considered reference versions of the Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky concertos. Recorded in 1959 and 1962 respectively. Stanislaw Wislocki leads the Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra on the Rachmaninov; Herbert von Karajan and Wiener Symphoniker accompany Richter on the Tchaikovsky.
