"It was this record that first introduced me to Richter's playing and it quite bowled me over. Not only for its virtuosity, which is remarkable enough, but for the range of colour in the playing and for the imagination of the interpretation of the work...The selection of Preludes, less well known than they ought to be, gave me unalloyed pleasure." - Gramophone/1982
"I'd have to have this with me on a desert island. It's one of the best examples of a master getting to grips with a popular work and recreating it anew, it's sensational." - Helen Wallace, BBC Music Magazine
