"Although the late Sviatoslav Richter spent his later years concentrating on Bach, Beethoven, and Haydn, he never completely abandoned the music of his native country. His reading of Rachmaninov's most popular concerto, captured in fine late-1950s stereo, is one of the most glorious ever recorded. Richter's amazing technique is completely up to the demands of Rachmaninov's difficult writing, and he plays the heart-on-sleeve melodies with such refined intensity that they never sound sentimental. This performance is a truly amazing example of great pianism, very strongly supported by the fine orchestra and its little-known conductor." — Amazon.com

Recorded in 1959, this is a joy. Richter and the Warsaw orchestra play with all of the passion that this composition requires. The sound of the record is fresh and crisp, like it was recorded yesterday. I have a dozen versions of this work, but no better one than Richter's.
