About

The complete recordings from Sviatoslav Richter’s legendary 1960 Carnegie Hall concerts are gathered together for the first time in one collection of 13 CDs (previously only available in two separate editions). The recordings include a slipcase box with a booklet containing archival photos and a new essay by Carnegie Hall archivist Gino Francesconi. The October 1960 recitals originally appeared on mono LPs in the United States (Columbia Masterworks) and Japan (Sony). By contrast, RCA’s complete stereo master tapes from the 23 and 26 December concerts came to light after Richter’s death in 1997. The recordings reveal the unusual breadth of the pianist’s enormous repertoire, including such Richter benchmarks as the Prokofiev Sixth and Eighth Sonatas, Schumann’s C major Fantasie, Rachmaninov Preludes, Beethoven Sonatas, Scriabin’s Fifth Sonata, plus works by Haydn, Schumann and Debussy. Born in Zhitomar, Ukraine on 20 March 1915, Sviatoslav Richter was essentially self-taught as a youth, yet his formidable gifts did not go unnoticed. In his late teens, Richter began work with the legendary pedagogue Heinrich Neuhaus, and befriended Sergei Prokofiev, who entrusted the young pianist with the premieres of his Seventh and Ninth Piano Sonatas. His reputation continued to grow in Russia and within the Soviet bloc. Finally in 1960 Richter traveled to the West for the first time, playing solo recitals across America and concertos with nearly all of the major American orchestras.
