Otherwise best Richter collection spoilt by a distorted scherzo

I am quite positive that this collection is the most representative single label Svjatoslav Richter compilation. The playing and recording leaves nothing to be desired: the Bach is magical, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov in a class of their own, so is Schubert. There is only one snag: the CD containing the Chopin scherzi has a technical fault, as the first scherzo is spoiled by a electronic distortion that is surely due to remastering. If this could be replaced, this collection would be faultless.

My review of Svjatoslav Richter Eurodisc recordings was released at Amazon.co.uk.
