Philips 50 is a unique collection of classic recordings celebrating many of the finest performances from one of the world's great music catalogues.
Philips Classics' distinguished legacy stretches from the early 1950s to the present day and features many of the finest artists of our time. This new series captures their inspired musicianship and incomparable artistry with greater fidelity than ever before. The famous Philips sound has been further enhanced by the use of the latest 96kHz, 24-bit technology to enable new generations to appreciate once more these critically acclaimed, award-winning recordings.
Philips 50 — a wonderful harvest from 50 years of recording.

Recordings of Liszt's concertos come and go, some of them making an impressive splash before they disappear without trace. But Richter's with Kondrashin endure, thanks to their combination of imperious pianism, inspirational conducting and shared instinctive musical understanding. All this rubs off on to the music, giving it the finest advocacy it has ever enjoyed, in word or deed. To Richter, of course, goes the lion's share of the praise, for his unmatched mastery of rhetoric and structure. So often he seems able to extract as much juice from a semiquaver as most other pianists from a crotchet. And by subordinating flashiness to nobility and control of phrasing he can release unparalleled adrenalin rushes when he finally cuts loose. I doubt whether the accelerando through the finale of the E flat Concerto has ever been better realized.Kondrashin, too, has been lavishly praised for his role, and with reason. He draws from the LSO playing of a fieriness to make Liszt's apparently corniest moments feel like authentic infernal visions. At the other extreme he has them dovetailing their phrases with the soloist like a dream, accepting minuscule imprecisions (as at the opening of the A major Concerto) for the sake of the greater poetic good. Whether the disc is more desirable with three Beethoven sonatas than with the Liszt Piano Sonata (the coupling on the Philips comparison), I would doubt. But the Beethoven recordings certainly show Richter on top form, placing each sonata in an expressive world of its own. Supplement either disc with Richter's and Kondrashin's live Liszt concertos, taken from the last of Richter's London début appearances in 1961, and you will have riches indeed; though I have to say the studio accounts are in many ways the more daring. == David Fanning
