About

Sviatoslav Richter Live in the 1950s Volume.3 was recorded at Moscow recitals in 1954 and 1958.

The 1958 material included some major discoveries. Most of it is made up of pieces from Liszt’s Années de pélèrinage, only one of which exists in any other Richter recording. It also offers the offers the only live performance published of Richter playing Beethoven’s famous “Pathétique” Sonata. The 1954 recital includes mostly works of Ravel, including the published Richter performance of Le Gibet from Gaspard de la Nuit, the only selection of that suite he ever palyed. Two more of the Ravel works, Pavanne pour une infante défunte and Jeux d’eau, are the only Richter performances yet published on CD. The disc concludes with three pieces by Rachmaninov and one by Prokofiev.

Recorded in Moscow, December 1954 (CD 2) and April 1958 (CD 1)
