Hmmm. Does it have the same performances or at least performances that are listed on Trovar on another label?
It claims to have 1956 Moscow performances (which exist for both sonatas). I don't know why it's not on the site, though I suppose Living Stage is probably a pirate label and thus not mentioned. Arr, matey!

;D

Living Stage is mentioned on Trovar for a number of Schubert Sonatas, like 575, 566, 958, 960.

I found a site by Ates TANIN that lists these performances of the works you have:

Piano Sonata No.16 in a, D.845, Op.42

31/10/53 - Moscow - Live - (PT)
16/3/55 - Moscow - Live - (PT)*
19/2/57 - Moscow- Live - (PT)
2/3/57 - Moscow - MELODIYA/BMG 29463 2 (CD)**

Piano Sonata No.17 in D, D.850, Op.53

14/6/56 - Prague - Live - PRAGA PR 254 031 (CD)**
11/8/56 - Moscow - MELODIYA/BMG 29463 2 (CD)**


This Links You to the Site

Yeah, I think it's a reasonable assumption that it's a pirate issue of the Melodiya disc.

Tony suspects that Living Stage is like Urania in that respect. Looks like you guys may be right.

Here's some interesting news:

Parnassus has made available as a CDR the much talked about "Richter in Leipzig" recital. Originally a Music & Arts release.

It's listed fourth up from the bottom of the page...





VERY good news, Don! Thanks for the info. I will call them on Tuesday about that one. 

George, did you order the "Richter in Leipzig" recital from Parnassus? This one indeed seems very tempting.

I have found another (anonymous) source, as a rule I usually don't buy CD-Rs. I won't get it for awhile, though.

Any word out there as to how this TNC Live In Kiev set stacks up?

Yeah, they lopped off virtually an entire disc of Chopin, too. Missing are selections from the Preludes plus other miscellaneous works.

I wonder if they have a final volume containing Chopin/Schumann waiting in the wings?

And I hope they reissue that potpourri disc that came as a freebie to the Authorized Edition. Very rare Debussy, Bartok, even Wagner!

"Live" Richter mentioned here:

The commentator is right, no doubt about it.

But I part ways with her when it comes to idolizing audience intrusions. I frequently find myself lunging for a coughing culprit who dares intrude smack at the moment a musical epiphany is taking shape. 

I mean, just as a performance is winding up (or down) and *ZOT!!*. 

However, it is a problem worth tolerating for the very special qualities on hand during the moments of audience silence!

You do not get this as much with live jazz recordings....just some low mummering and cocktail glasses going "clink".  ;)

Not to mention performers hollering back and forth amongst each other during the gig.

I mean, you never hear Richter howling at anyone in his performances! ;D
