As a bonus, the release includes a recording of Richter playing Mozart’s Piano Concerto in E-flat Major, K. 271 in 1966 which has never been released on DVD before. The Russian Edition: Various documentaries by Bruno Monsaingeon, one of the most renowned directors of music documentaries of our time, presented in one box. The documentary content of the edition is completed and rounded off by historic concert recordings.
