Antonin Dvorak: Piano Concerto & Piano Quintet

[Concerto: Richter insisted on playing Dvořák’s originally-conceived version and not the then-standard, as transcribed by Vilém Kurz] … “Richter pronounced that it was the most difficult concerto he had ever tackled but somehow he made Dvořák’s original, unrevised piano-writing – sound totally convincing” [Quintet] “Quick and sensitive as Richter’s playing is, … with the Borodin Quartet supporting him sympathetically the performance has vigour and charm” (Gramophone)
