YouTube is dangerous because you can compare momentous performances, which great people have sweated over to prepare, with just a few mouseclicks. It's too easy, and probably is cheapening my perception of art. Nevertheless, this performance kills the others I have 'checked out'.

Your are right Richter is fantastic. He was the best pianist who we have been albe to listen because we were not able to listened Liszt in the XIX century.
Nobody will play as Richter did. In spite of fact I have to say there many wonderfol pianists with wonderful recors but Richter played everything wich excists in piano repertoar.

@blahblahblahblah22 This was composed in 1911-1912! Believe it or not! Prokofiev wrote all 5 of his piano concerti while he was still living in France and before he returned to the USSR. Richter's performances were some of the best IMO... also check out Gary Graffman's with George Szell.

R I C H T E R...ya!!!
This is great, Truecrypt, thanks!
I have a recording on a "Talents of Russia" disk by another Neuhaus pupil, Alexei Lubimov, with David Oistrakh conducting! Do you know that one? I highly recommend it!
Thanks again.

I didn't hear it, but Lubimov is very good in this repertoire!

I've had this recording since the early '60s. It's been my benchmark ever since.
Besides, where else could you find the Glazunov and Rimsky-Korsakov Concertos on the flip side of an LP?

Actually, Rimsky-Korsakov concerto is here - just search YT or go to my Playlists -> Richter...
