The Sofia Recital 1958

~ Release by Moussorgsky, Schubert, Chopin, Liszt; Sviatoslav Richter (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

The CD back cover and booklet identify track 23 (Rachmaninoff) as the "Prelude in G sharp minor, op.32 no.13". However, on Wikipedia and in other places, no. 13 is the D-flat major prelude and no. 12 is the G-sharp minor prelude.
