He started dancing as soon as we put it on!

Build Your Baby's Brain

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Sony, 1998

Wonderful stimulating music for baby

Richter at the Barbican
This recital was originally broadcast on BBC-TV in 1989. Richter was 74 then but clearly had not lost any of his powers. He had, however, developed some idiosyncrasies that have a bearing on this recording. He was playing this recital, consisting of three Mozart ...
