Sviatoslav Richters live recordings of Liszt and Chopin, made in Moscow and
Leningrad (now St Petersburg) between 1948 and 1963, encompass 29 pieces that
have remained unpublished to this day. Since all the recordings are of
historical and editorial significance, this edition also includes those
recordings that are available only in archival quality. Most of the recordings
are of astonishingly fine quality, though; they have all been restored with
great care and vigilance by THS Studio in Dormagen. This collection notably
includes one of the most difficult piano studies to be found in this edition:
Liszts étude Feux follets (will-o-the-wisp), which Richter kept in his
repertoire for precisely 50 years, from 1938 until 1988.
