I already have Schnabel Complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas on HMV 78s (except the Hammerklavier; that's the one extract from the series that appeared on domestic Victor). When combined with a couple of other Society volumes of non-sonatas (the Fantasy in g, the Eroica Vars., etc., etc.), they take up about a foot and a half of shelf space, much more than Mark Obert-Thorn ever managed to consume with CDs.
During the last year or so I purchased a lot of these Sony box sets. They are great value and the recordings are usually nice. These are two latest additions.

Actually, for manic excitement, Horowitz/Barbirolli. The sound is as bad as the playing is good. And by good, I mean Horowitz is on fire!
Found this on Amazon Japan: Sviatoslav Richter - The Complete HMV and Teldec Recordings - 24 CDs, Warner Music Korea Amazon.co.jp: Sviatoslav Richter : Sviatoslav Richter - The Complete HMV & Teldec Recordings (24CD) (Box Set) (韓国版) - ミュージック » Anyone know anything about this? Haven't checked the Richter discography. This Dutch eBay page lists its contents: SVIATOSLAV RICHTER - THE COMPLETE HMV & TELDEC RECORDINGS 24CD BOXSET SEALED »
It's an amazing performance, but the sound is too poor to be my go-to. It's almost the definition of a "you have to hear it once" record for me.
I've read elsewhere that only one performance in this box is new to CD. Also, weren't the Teldec recordings already released as part of a box recently? Also, as far as I can recall, the Teldec Richter is from when he was past his prime.
Just checked the Korean Warner box against the EMI Richter Icon box and - unless I missed something - almost everything in the Warner box is included in the Icon box.
Yes, I recall reading something like that on another set. However, the Teldec stuff was not in the Icon box. These are the contents of the Teldec box:
The box is a much nicer looking box than the Icon box. But if the contents are identical, there is no point for me to bother ...
Correct; I should have made clear that the EMI recordings are included in the Icon box, not the Teldec stuff which was released separately by Warner Music. I don't have the Teldec set. How are the Schubert and Schumann with the Borodin Quartet?
The Schubert is just the Borodin (no Richter), but I haven't heard either performance. However, that Schumann performance dates from 1994, very late in Richter's life. On the other hand, it's the only commercial recording of the pianist playing that work.
Yes, of course, the Schubert is his most famous string quartet. My mistake. I think I'll pass on the Teldec set.
My cursory review of the contents of the Korean Warners Richter box and the ICONS box is that the Korean box is organized by original LP/CD issue, keeps the covers, but that it adds those musical performances on those LPs that do not include Richter (not in ICONS box). I have not been able to find whether it includes any Richter not on the ICONS (any help here, specifically?) But I have not heard it, and wonder if it has improved sound. Anyone help there?
As I posted upthread I checked the Korean Warner box against the EMI Icon box and as far as I could see all of Richter's EMI recordings in the Warner box are also in the Icon box. Like you said the latter does not have the non-Richter stuff that's in the Warner box, and none of the Teldec recordings either.
Putting on the turntable this afternoon: Solo piano music by Ravel. Performed by Ruth Laredo on this 1982 CBS Masterworks LP. Produced by Andrew Kazdin (who produced most of Glenn Gould's albums).
Thanks, so basically 3 CDs of richter not in ICONS. Still hoping for a report on possible sound upgrade.
Watch her in the interview at the beginning. I have no idea what she's saying, but I am pretty sure I am now in love with her. And that's before the divine singing begins.
