Notes & Reviews:

Wonderful performances of Schubert and Beethoven by one of the most highly regarded pianists of the 20th century. The Schubert miniatures were recorded at the legendary Sofia concert of 1958 and the sonata and bagatelles are studio recordings.

Gramophone
This performance of the Op. 42 A minor sonata can give no disappointment to anyone, howevtheir expectations of Richter are fixed: for it is surpassingly beautiful, unfailingly poetic, and filled wwarmth and human feeling. Perfect execution, with wonderfully graded tone, even runs and flawless control is allied to superfine musical intelligence and affection for Schubert's music.

American Record Guide, January/February 2013
Richter is always recommendable; and the sound, beyond the sonata, is more than acceptable. The notes are nothing to brag about.
