Sony Classical celebrates the art of Sviatoslav Richter and his 100th anniversary on 20th March 2015 with the first-ever release of his complete Columbia Masterworks and RCA Victor Richter was already a legend in his native Soviet Union when he performed in the West for the first time in 1960. Richter's American tour that year not only consolidated the pianist's international reputation, but also resulted in memorable Richter's legendary five October 1960 Carnegie Hall recitals showcased the breadth of his repertoire from Haydn and Beethoven to Debussy and Rachmaninoff, with one programme devoted to Prokofiev, with whom Richter worked closely.
Along with the December 26th Carnegie Hall recital, Richter's December 28th Newark Mosque Theater recital receives its first integral release. His 1970s recordings of the 48 Preludes and Fugues are included in this edition, re-mastered in 2012.
Two RCA discs from 1988 concerts return to the catalogue, revealing the veteran pianist's undiminished power and concentration in Brahms' early C Major Piano Sonata, selections by Liszt, Etudes from Chopin's Op. 10, plus a new recording of the Beethoven First Concerto. Three Schubert works from a 1977 Aldeburgh Festival anthology make their CD debut.
