Title

BEETHOVEN Sviatoslav Richter (The Lost Tapes)

Beethoven: Sonatas Nos. 18, 27, 28 & 31

Sonatas Nos. 18, 27, 28 &amp; 31

For sixty years, previously unreleased live recordings of pianist Sviatoslav Richter playing Beethoven&rsquo;s sonatas 18, 27, 28 and 3 at the Festival at the Tours and Lucerne Festivals in 1965, have slumbered in the our archives. Carefully restored by Emil Berliner Studios, these are now being released now for the very first time.&nbsp;
Like many other artists, Richter felt that he could play more freely and give better performances in the concert hall rather than in the studio. These tremendous recordings reveal the pianist at the pinnacle of his powers as a pianist. The performances show a strikingly modern approach that never shies away from taking risks to express the music in its furthest extreme. The album will be released digitally, on CD as well as a double LP on 30 May. The CD- and Vinyl-editions are now available for pre-order.&nbsp;
