Sviatoslav Richter / Prague Symphony Orchestra- Dvorak Piano Concerto/ Piano Quintet Op. 81 (CD)
[Concerto: Richter insisted on playing Dvorák's originally-conceived version and not the then-standard, as transcribed by Vilém Kurz]... "Richter pronounced that it was the most difficult concerto he had ever tackled but somehow he made Dvorák's original, unrevised piano-writing - sound totally convincing" [Quintet] "Quick and sensitive as Richter's playing is,... with the Borodin Quartet supporting him sympathetically the performance has vigour and charm" (Gramophone)
Tracklist:
- Piano Concerto in G minor, Op. 33
- Piano Quintet No. 2 in a Major, Op. 81
