Description:

[Richter was praised as a "modern Liszt" when he appeared at the Prague Spring Festival in his 39th year, and this disc of Liszt's concertos was recorded shortly after 1960, when he finally began to perform throughout Western Europe. This bold, poetic, resolute, and dashing performance is still considered one of the best performances of the Liszt concertos. 24-bit master recording. Rubidium clock cutting. [Performed by] Sviatoslav Richter (piano), London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kirill Kondrashin Recorded in London, July 1961
