[Bryn]

He did the complete works for Hyperion - I regret not having bought the box set which is now sadly unavailable.

Still very much available to download in mp3 or FLAC format, direct from Hyperion: https://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/d...c=D_CDS44041/8

Salut! Ca va?
I echo your sentiment, after doing more research into his recordings.

Ca va bien merci, et toi?!
Yes, I really want that box, not being into streaming myself.

I compared the Praga SACD to the Regis of Richter's selections and sure enough, it is that bit more refined and subtle in tone and dynamic; a little more space around the instrument too. True of the CD layer as well. The gains were incremental rather than dramatic, but if it means much to you and you care about sound, certainly worth having.

Are they live performances in Prague? What year?

As I said above once or twice , this is the same anthology as previously released on Olympia and Regis/Alto, just a very slight difference in track order...

Recorded by Ariola/Eurodisc, in 4/1983 for the Études, 9/1971 for the Preludes....

The Alto inlay gives Munich 1984 and Salzburg 1971, but most commentaries correct the former to 1983. Amazing what a little online research can do...

Oh I see, sorry...

Returned from a day trip to London yesterday where I was delighted to find Foyles’ music department thriving and as well stocked with the ‘physical product’ as ever. Invested in a copy of Giltburg’s recording of the preludes and have not regretted it; a worthy winner to set beside the Ashkenazy.

That is most useful to know; I shall visit the next time I’m in London!
