Munch met and heard Richter in 1958 when the Boston Symphony Orchestra toured Russia. He was so impressed that he invited him to appear with the BSO.
Richter’s Boston debut two years later, is presented here from the original stereo tapes for the first time. “The result took your breath away” Boston Globe
Richter and his accompanists are elegant and airy as well as noble, with the pianist offering a curtailed version of the longest cadenza option. The slow movement has a rapt, meditative quality that seems more compelling than ever experienced live...Richter retains his poise in the finale, the orchestral contribution turning beefier though still adequately pointed...Richter mavens will be gratified by the clear and truthful mono recording.
