Bump?! Illuminate me, please.
Speaking of Ravel and Richter. When he was interviewed once regarding his repertoire, the journalist noted that out of the 40 some concertos he had under his hands at the moment, the ravel was missing. He asked about it, and Richter said, after he heard Michelangeli perform it, he knew there was nothing more to be said.

Buming is internet lingo.

Since this post was never answered and fell into the obscurity of the second page I "bumped" it incase someone would notice it this time.
I think I have that Michelangeli Record, is it the one with Rachmaninoff 4th aswell?

That discography is incomplete. I recall having a recording of Richter playing Alborada from a Prague concert.

Richter's Ravel is wonderful, but imo Dinu Lipatti outplays everyone in Alborada:

Probably one of Lipatti's finest achievements. This recording has been issued zillions of times on countless labels and isn't hard to find, btw.

I am almost certain Richter has recorded it.
