(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album contains two concertos. The first is Brahms, concerto #2 in B-flat, Op. 82, recorded on May 23, 1950 in Prague. The second is Saint-Saens, Concerto #5 in F, Op. 103, recorded in Moscow in 1952. They are both mono recordings originally. The Brahms is with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Saint-Saens is with the Moscow Youth Orchestra, although apparently the conductor in both instances is Kyrill Kondrashin. Needless to say, Richter's performances are superb."
