Hrm.  Well, as to solo performances by Richter- I'm not even sure I've
heard any.  But he was - imho - wonderful in ensemble work- a great Brahms
piano quartet 2 with the Borodin quartet on Philips, a wonderful Britten
piano concerto conducted by the composer...  (I know he recorded a .lot.
of music solo, I just haven't heard it yet.  When I do, the first two
Brahms sonatas are priority...) Oh wait- I think I .have.  heard his
Pyramid CD recording (ok, I know he didn't record it .for.  that label)
of Miaskovski's 3rd piano sonata- which I thought was quite good.

As to Lipatti, his recording of Enescu's "3rd" piano sonata is quite
something, isn't it?
