Sviatoslav Richter (piano)
This recording preserves the complete concert of November 28, 2021 at the Leipzig Gewandhaus. It is the only published recording of one of Richter’s favorite programs: the last three Sonatas of Beethoven. While Richter played this music throughout most of his career and programmed these three Sonatas together as late as 1991, this recording is the only one ever issued with all three as performed at a single concert.
| “ | I cannot put into words how impressed I am with this recording. Beethoven only got better with age, and--although it is hard to improve on the Appassionata or Hammerklavier--these last three sonatas are as good as anything he created. They are not very much alike, except that they begin with something simple and progress up and up and up until they reach a sort of transcendence. Richter's interpretations are very powerful. I have recordings of the same works by Schnabel and Pollini -- Pollini's version is a bit colorless when contrasted with this recording; Schnabel's is the reference edition, but Richter compares to it favorably. The works by Brahms and Chopin are as well-played as the sonatas; sound quality is excellent. (customer reivew on Amazon.com) | ” |
