composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

This set of recordings made in 1963 by cellist Mstislav Rostropovich and pianist Sviatoslav Richter of Beethoven's cello sonatas are the most virtuosic, the most lyrical, the most dramatic, the most expressive, the most intense, the most ecstatic, and, in a word, the greatest ever recorded. From the Empfindung style of the Op. 5 sonatas through ...

Schubert: 'Wanderer' Fantasy; Schumann: Fantasy & Papillons (2004) more music like this

performed by Sviatoslav Richter (piano)
composed by Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann

These classic recordings from the early '60s are a taste of what made Richter such a fantastic performer. It is the brilliant musical interpretation that stands above all else in his playing. It is hard to imagine anyone using more energy in the opening of Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy and still give it shape and meaning. The second section is as ...

Handel: Keyboard Suites, Vol. 1 (2005) more music like this

performed by Andrei Gavrilov (piano), Sviatoslav Richter (piano)
composed by George Frederick Handel

Of course, the listener can tell the Handel Suites played by Andrei Gavrilov from the Handel Suites played by Sviatoslav Richter. Gavrilov's Suites are superbly played, thoughtfully performed, and persuasively interpreted. Richter's Suites, however, are supremely well played, penetratingly performed, and profoundly interpreted. Gavrilov's Suites ...

performed by Robert La Marchina (cello), Sviatoslav Richter (piano), Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Erich Leinsdorf (conductor)
composed by Johannes Brahms

Back in the '50s and '60s when RCA was one of the two dominant American classical record companies, the big debate was over which of their two recordings of Brahms Piano Concerto in B flat major was better: the Emil Gilels with Fritz Reiner from 1958 or the Sviatoslav Richter with Leinsdorf from 1960. Both are with the Chicago Symphony at the peak ...

composed by Alexander Scriabin, Béla Bartók, Claude Debussy, Dmitry Shostakovich, Edvard Grieg, Enrique Granados, Erik Satie, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Frédéric Chopin, George Gershwin, Johannes Brahms, Ludwig van Beethoven, Maurice Ravel

As if the title -- The #1 Piano Album -- wasn't enough of a claim, the subtitle goes even further: "The best-loved piano works of all time." Of course it seems impossible to deliver on that statement even with two 75-minute-plus compact discs. But as the discs go rolling by -- as Uchida's elegantly turned interpretation of the opening Allegro of ...

Sviatoslav Richter play Mozart (2008) more music like this

performed by Sviatoslav Richter (piano), Moscow Chamber Orchestra, Rudolf Barshai (conductor)
composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Mozart was one of the half-dozen composers for whom Richter felt a particular affinity, and these recordings come from Richter's peak as a pianist in the mid-'60s through the early '70s. They have all the qualities of Richter at his best: incredible lightness of touch backed with immense power, a varied and subtle color palette, and an incredible ...

This two-disc set of Handel's Suites performed by Andrei Gavrilov and Sviatoslav Richter is just as good as their other two-disc set of Handel's Suites but with one big advantage. Here as there, Handel's Suites are models of wit, sensitivity, affection and virtuosity. Here as there, Gavrilov's performances are fluent, muscular, and persuasive and ...

With its magnificent and magisterial performances by Sviatoslav Richter, one would have imagined that this 1970 recording of the First Book of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier would be on the shelf of everyone who reveres Richter and worships Bach. But, in fact, they're not and the simple reason for it is that Richter's performances sound like they ...

Of the great Schubert players of the twentieth century -- Schnabel, Brendel, Lupu, Kovacevich, and Richter -- Richter was arguably the greatest. Because while the rest each had their own individual merits, Schnabel's spirit, Lupu's poetry, Brendel's brilliance, and Kovacevich's soul, Richter combined all of these and added aching lyricism, wild ...
