Picked up a copy of Sviatoslav Richter in the 1958 Sophia concert on Columbia 6 eye. I had a poor copy of the Phillips pressing. I had read that this is one of the great renditions of Pictures in an Exhibition, but that doesn't do it justice. Although I still don't have a pristine copy, Richter can create such tenderness and fury in the same performance. And the miking creates a very realistic 9' piano being pounded to its limits.
I highly recommend this for lovers of piano and Russian music.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm growing weary of my Alfred Brendel and Paul Lewis cycles, will try this one.

If this recording isn't on your Top Ten desert island discs list, I'm afraid you've have to boot something off to free up some room. Perhaps Humble Pie Rockin' the Filmore could go?
