I love his recording of Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy. As I recall, the LP had lovely performances of a Schubert sonata and some impromptus on the flip side.

Not a fan of the Wanderer Fantasy. Don't find the melody compelling, personally. D. 946 no. 2, on the other hand, I find lovely, especially when the first main melody comes in not too long after the 3 minute mark, and especially when the real main melody comes in around the 5 minute mark.

(This comment isn't related to Richter, I'm just sharing a nice Schubert piece for anyone interested.)

Let me compensate the lack of Richter with a Richter recording that is not [1] a Schubert composition. Variations Serieuses (Mendelssohn Bartholdy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9qEIcgSXLU

[1] I love Schubert, best composer ever in my opinion. Unfortunately, Richter couldn't Play "Tod und das Mädchen" (death and the maiden)
