Sviatoslav Richter, piano

In 1960, Richter gave a series of highly acclaimed concerts at Carnegie Hall in Manhattan which were recorded by Columbia Records. Regis presents an all Beethoven programme, taken from those concerts, which displays Richter’s Beethovenian credentials and which captures the sheer excitement that the concert series provoked at the time.
