Incredible! Thanks so much.

[@nihilistlemon1995]

it's so weird and great to listen to these recordings of Richter , his playing is somehow softer then what we usually hear .

[@ClassicalPianoRarities]

He is still under the H Neuhaus golden-age style influence, to a certain extent here....

[@anttisairanen9485]

@@ClassicalPianoRarities To his death Neuhaus was his teacher and guide. The first task/lesson this autodidact was not learn to a Beethoven sonata, but correct the sound, "Anschlag", what Sviatoslav Teofilovich did with no hesitation.

Quite pedestrian.

Listen to Simon Barere's version. Captures so much more of this work.
