GRIEG Piano Concerto; SCHUMANN Piano Concerto - Richter

Grieg & Schumann: Piano Concertos / Richter
EMI | Great Recordings Of The Century | 2003
Lossless: EAC rip

Richter’s Schumann seems to me unequalled by any other pianist; the slow movement of the concerto is really exquisite and the way he plays the main theme of Papillons should make you buy the disc if nothing else does. In the Grieg also, there is some splendid playing and the Adagio is most beautifully done.
