This is one of the few Mozart sonata recordings made by Sviatoslav Richter, hailed as the greatest pianist of the 20th century, in his prime.
Recorded: January 1966, Salzburg
It was in 1960 that Richter took off his mysterious veil and began his active performance activities in Western countries. After that, his concert tours in Europe and the United States caused a great sensation and won him immense popularity. These three pieces were recorded in Salzburg in 1966, and the vivid pianism and the transparent, light touch supported by the amazing concentration eloquently speak of the fulfillment of Richter in his prime.
