"His Schumann, on the other hand, has always been dazzling ... temperament that convincingly responds to the extreme swings in mood. Many of the Bunte Blätter are amazingly fast and unnerving ... Études symphoniques was for me an overwhelming experience. The supplementary variations are incorporated after the 5th Etude ... here perhaps that Richter is at his most hypnotic. The 4th. emerges as an exotic lament of ravishing beauty. The pianist's very large hands enable him to attack the chords of the finale with ferocious confidence, and yet he never goes through his tone ... Richter playing most pianists under the table. Well-chosen and excellent in sound ... should not be missed by those attracted to this repertoire" - Gramophone
