CD Reviews

Questionable playing; bad recording

hjonkers | The Netherlands | 12/22/2003

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Richter wasn't at his best here, as shown in this recording of the Liszt Sonata, which is rushed from A till Z and has a blurred coda. He plays the Chopin Ballade well, and the Schubert Sonata is also quite interesting, although he is again a bit too enthousiastic in the last movement. the sound is the worst problem though. The Schubert is still acceptable, but the Liszt sounds almost entirely dried-up and hollow while the Chopin seems to have been recorded inside an aquarium. A very bad pirate issue."
