Thanks you to comment on my writing, pianoplejer.
My most favorite Piano Concerto is Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2.
It always reminds me of the dream of my youth and gives me energy to live an optimistic life.
I love Chopin's piano pieces and concertos, too.

Saint-Saens' sense of tonality was just incredible. Does anyone hear a bit of Smsn et Dlla in this?
Dear Truecrypt, thank you so much for posting this magnificent interpretation. I want to ask you something: you said that this interpretation is from beginning of the 50's or so. But frankly I thought that Richter only recorded this piece at the very end of his career. I mean the 5th concerto, not the second, which he actually did. Am I right or wrong? Thank you

There are recording of Saint-Saëns 2nd and 5th made in 1993 with Latvian orchestra. They also exist on VHS but I don't have them
The one I posted is from 50s.
So, you are correct - later recording does exist!
