Sviatoslav Richter at Carnegie Hall, October 1960 (remastered, sound considerably improved)

The CDs released by Sony of these historic recordings sounded thin, harsh and recessed. The  original LPs, which are nowadays very rare, sounded much better. I have remastered the recordings so that they may come close to the sound of the originals.
