Greeting, I just purchased a new turntable after having been away from vinyl for over a decade. I'm interested to know if there are any Richter connoisseurs...
I have a new turntable where I now play my original Richter LPs and it's amazing that the LP sound wonderfully. They have a better balanced sound, better...
When only possible I listen to LPs, for the sake of sound. The digital recordings, not mention CD medie cut off the frequences which give the color, ambience....

hello Mr.Goh It is indeed a very interesting question that you ask. I myself kept ALL my Richter LPs (around 50) dating from early 70 to the beginning of CD...
CD sound it IS compromised. At the dawn of the CD times there was agreed on a too low quality standard (44.100) which means that some of the highest tone...

One more important point that you are right to mention: Richter stated in rare interviews that he does not care about sound quality. He quotes listening to...
hello There are few DVD recordings of Richter. Go on 'Classicalvideorarities.com' and you will find two or three (Beethoven op111, Beethoven Cello sonatas..) ...
Dear Serge, You will find very little of Richter available on commercial DVDs. The EMI disc of Beethoven Cello Sonatas is very much worth having, as is the...

Dear Richter-fan-colleagues, the problem with the CD sound qualitity is a multilevel problem: first: the analog-to-digital transfer is often bad and was made...
... Well 'two or three' is really anunderstatement. The problem is, they do not always give the date of recording. But thanks for the tip, they have much more...
I would strongly disagree about the quality of the recording: "The Maestro is ALL " The hell it is - I've heard many recordings both CDs and phono LPs that I...
... You shouldn't waste time then - the Ravel on Live Classics and Aura is great in my opinion. I never listen to LP's. It's not that I don't recognise that...

... Yes, this is the same Liszt b Minor Sonata that was on Philips 422-137 - wrongly labelled Budapest 1960. It is from Carnegie Hall in May 1965, and it is...
Hello, I came across a tremendous mp3 performance of Scriabin's powerful Fantasie op.28, way more inspired in my opinion than the Lazar Berman I had, also...
You should know one more great recording of op28 - Heinrich Neuhaus recorded it in 1953 year: Heinrich Neuhaus plays Scriabin - RCD 16247 Hope you can listen...
I've bought a Richter-Prokofiev CD (praga PR50015). Have got electricity-like clickings at track #12 (2 places: 06:09 & 07:32). If you've got this CD, tell me...
Dear fellow-member Ranasena, Evidently I have the same discs as you have with the same problem at track 12 as you have. I bought it in Rome (very low price)....
Absolutely the same problems at the same places. Yuri, Haifa, Israel. ... From: ranasena I've bought a Richter-Prokofiev CD (praga PR50015). Have got ...
... No way! ;-) The only one that is really worth listening is the one by Igor Zhukov from 1971 on Melodia Eurodisc. And then there are two by Heinrich Neuhaus...
