Description

This CD will be essential for legions of Richter fans, for it preserves in more than adequate sound a live performance of Schumann’s First Piano Trio…this is the only extant reading of the score involving Richter… The performance was recorded on New Year’s Eve in 1985. It would appear from the notes that Alfred Schnittke was in the audience and relished what he heard. So should we, for it is stunning…

Lambert, Fanfare
