I'm listening to the Richter/Kondrashin/LSO Liszt Piano Concertos right now (Philips). The performance is off the chain, but the sound quality is not the best. I think I'm detecting some shady spot-miking and it seems like the master tapes weren't in the best condition when they digitized it. The sound doesn't ruin it for me -- Richter's playing is good enough that I would probably still like it if I heard it playing on an AM radio being fed through a telephone -- but are there any other recordings of this, preferably modern ones, that are worth my checking out?
