Sviatoslav Richter (March 20, 1915 - August 1, 1997) was hailed as the greatest pianist of the 20th century.
Recorded in Freiburg, March 1985, Ferrara, November 1966 and Locarno, September 1966
Although rarely performed, the recording features two sonatas by Haydn, which are vibrant and full of various expressions, and the rare Weber Sonata No. 3. From bright, lively, and witty expressions to lyricism and sadness played with affection, the performance is full of human charm and the deep flavor that only a master can provide.
