Sviatoslav Richter:

The Lost Tapes - Beethoven Sonatas 18, 27, 28 & 31

At the height of his pianistic ability, Richter plays the Beethoven sonatas 18, 27, 28 and 31 at the Festival in Tours and at the Lucerne Festival in June and September 1965. Recorded by DG Tonmeister (recording producer) Heinz Wildhagen, and newly restored by the renowned Emil Berliner Studios in Berlin and pitch fluctuations and interference have been carefully removed.
Available digitally, on 180gm 2-LP (EBS), and CD album (jewel)

Includes a recent interview with pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja, an essay by Jed Distler, editorial notes by Markus Kettner (LP in English, in the CD booklet in German and English), as well as numerous photos, some previously unpublished.
Anyone who thinks that there is no longer anything to say on the subject of Sviatoslav Richter’s discography is wrong. For sixty years these recordings, which were made by Deutsche Grammophon at the Tours and Lucerne Festivals in 1965, have slumbered in the Yellow Label’s archives. Carefully restored by Emil Berliner Studios, they are being released now for the very first time.
