What kind of works did Richter avoid recording in a studio?

  • Sonatas

  • Solos

  • Chamber music

  • Concertos

Answer

Concertos were primarily performed in concert halls rather than small studio spaces. The large-scale orchestration and the dynamic range required for concertos made it challenging to capture the full essence and grandeur of the pieces in a studio recording. Richter preferred the natural acoustics and the interactive energy of live performances to convey the emotional depth and technical brilliance of concertos.
