The art of concertos, where the dignity of Classicism intertwines with the passion of Romanticism
Richter and Muti weave together a magnificent interpretation of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3.
Sviatoslav Richter's intelligent and powerful touch is in perfect harmony with the meticulous support of the Philharmonia Orchestra under Riccardo Muti. He fully brings out the dramatic structural beauty of the Symphony No. 3 in C minor, and displays astounding virtuosity and profound musicality in the cadenza. The accompanying "Andante Favori" offers a richer, more intimate emotional expression, making this a truly satisfying album.
