I can't wait to see your responses. If you chose a piano recording in the other thread, by all means, plant it here as well.

Like I'm doing...

I have '55, but not '81. What am I missing, Q?

An equally fascinating but completely different take: the '81 is touching and reflective, IMO it's like Gould is looking back.

Good description of the differences.

Sviatoslav Richter:  "The Sofia Recital 1958"



(Actually, I don't have the entire recital, just "Pictures at an Exhibition" on vinyl.  That alone, however, makes this an essential recording.  Anyone have comments on the other pieces on the CD?)
