Haha, it always makes me laugh when I say or read/hear others say he/she was the best...as if we knew all the great pianists.... during 100 years, of 169 countries.. Hahaha!
But Richter WAS a genius in performing classical piano music in the broadest sense. Period ; )

Richter was well inspired in all live recordings he gave in Praga-this is another proof with this recital.

Maybe we never hear again that kind of true fidelity to the score, traduced in a performance plenty of nerve and emotion. Maybe we never hear again Rachmaninov´s inner voices living with absolute independence and clarity. Richter was one of the most conscious masters of pedalling and also not-pedalling. Performing Rachamninov´s preludes and etudes we can find Richter at his best.

YES!!!
This is simply unbelievable and amazing.
He WAS the greatest pianist of the 20th century ( with Sergei Rachmaninoff ).
Genius. Period.

@gwozdezzz there are 2 different opus, it is a selection, and there's a final clapping. So, yes, this is the order.
