  • Richter Chopin op. 61

    From Pluted Pup@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 30 21:22:05 2023
    Other pianists seem to race through the opening of Chopin's
    Opus 61. Only Richter and Ashkenazi play it with a grand
    entrance. Here's Richter, one of his scores of recordingsof
    Polonaise op. 61, on 28 October 1992 and included on Philips CDs:
