And I just ordered it, so we'll know soon enough for sure. Interestingly, Parnassus doesn't even have it on their site yet.

Hello George - I may have cleared up the issue. This is from the MDT review of the Parnassus recording

and the Sonata No. 27, in E Minor, Op. 79

The e minor, as you know, is actually Op 90 and SR has made a number of recordings of it. Looks like a Parnassus typo.

Lets me know what you hear when you get this CD.
Cheers

Sure!

But it looks like you are right: http://www.amazon.com/Richter-1950s-Beethoven-Diabelli-7/dp/B004UBB3VU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311984995&sr=8-1

Check the sample there and it surely is Op. 90. At least now we have an early version of this work by him, previously the earliest one was 1965.

How is this label?  Is it legit?

Yes, it is. It's OK.

It arrived yesterday and yes, it is the Op. 90. Even the CD artwork has the typo.

George,  Are you sure the CD was not made by the Chinese pirate?  A good friend of mine who has been buying and selling coins on eBay told me some counterfeit Morgan Dollars coming out of China apparently have misspelled words on them ...    ;D

This new release just arrived today.

The Brahms Piano Quartet on the CD was released before on Philips, but the (complete!) Op. 119 has never been issued before. In fact, no complete recording of this work appeared in Richter's discography - until now! I can't wait to get home and give it a spin. Copies are available from Ruslania on amazon or on their website.

Hey George, I've just moved back to the USA and the first thing I'm listening to at home again (right now in fact) is Sviatoslav Richter's EMI Schubert A major sonata, D664. Feels like home indeed. :)

Cool, George! Let us know what you think of the Op.119.

However, the Op.119 pieces do appear in Richter's discography, just not from a single recital. I have them all.


Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

He's performed all of them?

Do you have one of these?

The Op 119 -- when did he play them. I've never heard him in  Op 119/4

This was a gift a few years back from Novi.  Lately, I can't stop listening to this recording!

Novi's got great taste! That Schumann Fantasy is one of the works that first got me collecting Richter recordings.

Those EMI recordings must be unreleased. I have the complete EMI recordings (the ICON box) and those Brahms recordings are not in there. 

EDIT: well, it was on CD, but only for a select few:
