About

For the first time, Philips and Decca recordings are brought together for a new, definitive mid-price Richter series. Each volume includes 2 CDs in a 'duo' box. Many recordings are available at mid price for the first time.

The great Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter, considered by many to be the greatest pianist of the 20th century, died on August 1st 1997.

The previous Philips-only Richter Edition (which was at top price) has been out of the catalogue for several years.
