This is Sviatoslav Richter at his very greatest - uncompromising and with no concern for anything except presenting his chosen pieces with unvarnished truth and maximum involvement. It's a heady recital, too, in terms of the repertoire and its juxtaposition...The Schubert is given a forceful and demarcated account...a remarkably profound experience...this is simply a must-have release of a breathtakingly outstanding recital. Colin Anderson, Classicalsource
