Live Recordings 1950/1951 “…possibly the most compelling recorded performance of Max Reger's only surviving piano concerto… The performance marries drama with poetry in an ideal proportions: Erdmann's timing is just about perfect, his impulsive attack at the wilder climaxes precisely what the work needs.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2007 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |

“These 1960 performances are thrilling…Stretching Schubert to the limits: here is Richter at his awesome best.” (Gramophone Editor’s Choice) “If one wanted to demonstrate the greatness, the supremacy of Sviatoslav Richter as interpreter of sublime music, one may hardly do better than to play this performance of Schubert's last piano sonata, in B flat, D960. Hugely leisurely in its first movement, yet always intense, and with the intensity taken even further in the slow movement; then a gossamer Scherzo, and a tumultuous finale in which the left hand's insistent octave G is like a funeral bell, this is 45 minutes in which one of the masterworks by which all others are judged is given a performance which leaves nothing to add.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2007 ***** “These 1960 performances are thrilling…Stretching Schubert to the limits: here is Richter at his awesome best.” Gramophone Magazine | |
