”Richter´s performances arevery distinguished indeed … playing is unforgettable and so is his rapport with Kondrashin” (Penguin Guide 3 stars)
”equally brilliant with two quite different sides of this composer, with luxuriant virtuosity of the early Etude. Here are the greatest achievements, in particular being thrown off with a zestful freedom that must alway be rare in such complex pieces. All connoisseurs shoud have these performances”. Gramophone
