{"title":"Sviatoslav Richter Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eSviatoslav Richter was a Russian classical pianist who is widely regarded as one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century. He was born in 1915 in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, and began playing the piano at age four. He studied at the Kiev Conservatory and graduated in 1938. Throughout his career, Richter performed and recorded a wide range of classical music, including works by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Mozart, Prokofiev, Schubert, Scriabin, and Tchaikovsky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichter's most acclaimed albums include his 1960 recording of Beethoven's \"Diabelli Variations\" and his 1967 recording of Prokofiev's \"Piano Sonatas Nos. 6, 7 and 8\". He also recorded several of his own transcriptions of Bach's organ works for the piano. Among Richter's most beloved songs are his recordings of Prokofiev's \"Piano Sonata No. 7\", Chopin's \"Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor\", and Bach's \"Goldberg Variations\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Richter is that he was an accomplished improviser and often improvised during concerts. He also had a vast repertoire, performing and recording works from all eras of classical music, from the Baroque to the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mstislav-rostropovich-sviatoslav-richter-ludwig-van-beethoven-sonatas-for-piano-cello-55099","title":"Mstislav Rostropovich, Sviatoslav Richter, Ludwig van Beethoven – Sonatas For Piano \u0026 Cello (2xLP, Speakers Corner)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the one hand this set offers the opportunity to compare Beethoven’s art of composition at various stages in his life.

The concerto combines sweeping lyricism, brooding melancholy and dazzling virtuosity in a work that helped secure Rachmaninoff’s reputation beyond the concert hall. Paired with six preludes, it also shows the composer’s gift for concentrated melodic invention and emotional intensity on a smaller scale.
