“Richter was possibly the greatest Prokofiev pianist who ever lived. He had a unique way of unlocking the music’s pianistic beauty and poignant lyricism while still pushing its steel-edged rhythms to the proverbial max.”

–Classics Today
⭐️⭐️⭐️[Highest rating] “Richter’s account [of Piano Concerto No. 5] is a classic. … It cannot be recommended too strongly … This concerto could have sounded contrived BUT when put over with the rhythmic bite, the technical aplomb, and the pungency of characterisations that we see here… a very different story!”
