When in the right mood this is haunting priceless music ....

Thnx for sharing your thoughts .... these recording left me a bit on the fence, as his earlier benchmark Bach recordings inherited - though dazzlingly analytical - more warmth and the Scarlatti in parts missing playfulness the mentioned performances of Ivo Pogorelich do capture .... but as you said, there are many ways to interpret these compositions ....

Yep .... but still better having this than nothing at all ....

What do you think about this late(r) Weissenberg recordings .... ?

Majestic ....

The approach by Currentzis not my cup of tea, therefore alternatively listening to this one .... :

Art Pepper classic ....

This recording is excellent (you can listen to some tracks via discogs/Youtube) and was reissued in Japan in 2017 as limited release CDSOL-45268. There seems to be some copies still on offer https://www.amazon.com/David-Young/dp/B075RBWMLB/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1532434030&sr=1-2&keywords=david+young https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B075RBWMLB/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new but via cdjapan http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/CDSOL-45268 this cd is already on backorder ....

These Eurodisc recordings are certainly jewels in the crown of Sviatoslav Richter`s euvre - and knowing the depth and quality of his recording legacy this says a lot .....
