I like this Richter version I think better than even the composer's recording. Heard S.R. play it such a long time ago and yet I retain its impact. Was prepared for the experience from having read a famous music critic's article almost swooning over Richter''s recent recital (60s) who called it an exceptional encore "stand out" in his cross-Country tour. Was able to make his sold out performance and also to meet him.

My favorite version. Heard it years ago.
