Actually, of the works from the Brahms/Schumann 3 CD Authorized set that were not released on the Master series, only two works (the March and the Concert Studies) were first releases, unless those Decca ones came afterwards. I outlined this in my post above.

The ones on Decca are different performances. They were released in the mid-90s and were not part of the Philips Authorized set. More CD hunting! ;D



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

When I said Decca I meant Philips, my bad.

Man, Richter's discography is enough to give a guy a headache.  :o

Yeah, no real value. I'll take it off your hands for $20.  ;D

Seriously, nice detective work there.  :)

Thanks. :) Interestingly enough I just discovered where that Toccata on The Virtuoso came from. It's exclusive to this box! :o

Sorry, George, this box now has value. ;D

EDIT: Just realized I made an error. This Toccata was actually included in the Authorized Edition but it could only be had as part of that freebie disc which was only available if one sprang for the entire 21 CD box set.

Oh, then, yes, the other Philips releases you listed (in parenthesis) all came after the Authorized Edition. Which makes those three Schumann works from the Authorized Edition first issues.

It's mind-twisting, for sure.

Que, is Schumann's Toccata Op.7 included in this Philips set?

Nope... :)

Just found out all of Richter's DG recordings will be released in a 9CD box set in May:


SVIATOSLAV RICHTER
Complete Deutsche Grammophon
Solo & Concerto Recordings
CD |A|D|D| 477 8122 |G|B 9|
9 Compact Discs
Int. Release 04 May. 2009
9 CDs

Doesn't he have more than 9 discs worth of stuff on the label? I own 7 of his DG CDs and I know that there's gotta be more than just two I am missing.

At any rate, very good news for new collectors of the pianist.

Interesting. But remastered or repackaged, I wonder?

I would imagine both.

I would hope so!

I think I have 5 of his DGG discs, so maybe it might be worth it. :)

I have almost all of them, but if they include some rarities, I'll grab it. I bet they won't though, they didn't for the Argerich set.  :-\

Here's a link to all of the DG stuff

I figured that you would want it.  8)

Like I said, I think I already have most of it, I think I'm just missing 1 or 2 discs. I don't know which two, though.

I think the 14-CD Richter's set on EMI may arrive today or tomorrow since the 10-CD Buchbinder's set on Complete Haydn Piano Sonatas arrived yesterday.  That set was shipped around the same time as the Richter's set.

please let us know how you like Buchbinder's Haydn (in the Haydn Keyboard Sonatas thread).

No problems.  It will be at least a few days before I even attempt to start playing the set.  As I have over 100 new CD's I have yet to play, I probably wil not get to this set for the next day or two.  I too am curious about Haydn Piano Sonatas, as this is my very first set ...

I just heard that these 9 CDs will be configured like the Argerich DG box, replicating the original LP releases. The box will only contain previously released performances.

Perhaps with the original and individualized jackets, which are what the Martha Argerich's recent set has ...
