Saw a story about this guy in the NY Times and I got curious. A little Free Jazz, a little Monk, nice rhythms.

BEETHOVEN Sviatoslav Richter (The Lost Tapes) | Deutsche Grammophon

For sixty years, previously unreleased live recordings of pianist Sviatoslav Richter playing Beethoven’s Sonatas Nos. 18, 27, 28 and 3 at the Tours and on Deutsche Grammophon. Listen and buy now.

www.deutschegrammophon.com

Sviatoslav Richter The Lost Tapes, DG. 1965 recitals at Lucerne and his festival at La Grange de Meslay. They were put aside by DG and likely Richter for deficiencies of the recordings. They have now been remastered with new technology to get rid of some treble shrillness I suspect. It is still there.

It is wonderful to hear Richter in live recitals when he was 50 years old at the height of his powers. The op 101 is astonishing. I listened on Apple Classic and then ordered the disc which is playing over and over in the car. The liner notes are terrriic. Richter never played all of the Beethoven Sonatas, and claims to have disliked the op 110, but his teacher Heinrich Neuhaus pressed him to play it, and Richter conceded it made him open his shoulders more. In troubled times Bach and Mozart can be too perfect, and the order from chaos of Beethoven is the only salve.

Wonderful commentary @Richard G , though I'd humbly suggest that Brahms does a pretty good job of quieting the troubled heart. "How lovely are Thy dwellings" may be among my top pieces of all time.

Few guitarists can rip out my heart like Gilmour.

I saw him recently via IMAX theater at the Circus Maximus Rome concert, the man is 79 and can still play - and sing!
