Sviatoslav Richter has been the most widely recorded pianist in history and the vast majority of these recordings are of his live recitals and concerts.

Though much has been written about Richter's phenomenal technique, talent and artistry, it is the uniqueness of his interpretations that remains his legacy. Indeed, he often did not even play the same piece the same way in successive recitals.

Just as Richter sought perfection, the Richter Archives will continue to present many of his recording in state-of-the-art digital audio restoration and re-mastering. In this respect Doremi are proud to present volume 22 of these unique archive recordings.
