[superbemaison]

I also discovered Britten-and many other composers such as Scriabine , Prokofiev, Szymanovsky...-through Richter.

[wanjabelaga]

through richter i did discover britten

thank you!

[samsonno]

An example of Richter´s art, just listen to his phenomenal playing - the colors, the shades, dynamics etc.etc. He was not happy with this recording either, Ben Britten was merely a shadow of himself. being very ill at that time.

I can't imagine why he wasn't happy with this recording. This is one of the most amazing examples of piano-playing I've ever heard.All the things you mentioned ("thecolors, the shades, dynamics, etc. etc.") are virtually miraculous.

I've owned the LP for about thirty years, and I've yet to hear Richter's equal in this concerto.

did you see the documentary about him? "Richter:the enigma" in it he is disapproving of just about every past recording he has made.
