Notes & Reviews:

Decca concludes its commemoration of Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter, considered by many to be the greatest pianist of the 20th century, with the final two volumes in the acclaimed series 'Richter: The Master'. Volume 11 features pinnacles of the 20th century piano repertoire, many of which Richter made his own, including works by fellow-Russians Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich. Richter’s distinguished discography includes numerous recordings for Philips and Decca, brought together for the first time for this definitive mid-price Richter series, attractively and thematically packaged in 2-CD sets.
