Sviatoslav Richter - piano

This is a profound, moving, beautifully structured performance. Richter plays with passionate intensity and serene sensitivity. He creates an exquisite balance between the pathos and the longing geniality within the sonatas. I doubt I will ever want another recording of these sonatas.
Richter's rendition brilliant. It's as though Schubert wrote these with Richter in mind!
