Released on April 2, 2021, under the Artemisia label, this album is a testament to Richter's virtuosity and the enduring appeal of these iconic compositions.
The album features two of the most celebrated piano concertos in classical music: Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 466, and Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54. Richter's performance is accompanied by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Witold Rowicki, creating a harmonious blend of precision and passion.
