Richter, and Rostropovich performing Bach and Beethoven with the
Moscow Philharmonic.  Please tell me where I can buy iton vhs.

Greetings, 

I believe what you're requesting is the Concerto for Violin, Cello &
Piano, opus 56, with Oistrakh, Rostropovich, Kondrashin, & the Moscow
Philharmonic.
(Moscow, 5 Jan 1970) on EMI 491301 (LaserDisc and VHS)


The information was found at
http://www.beethoven9.com/disography/richter.htm
under Sviatoslav Richter's Discography. 

Upon going to http://www.emiclassics.com  and querying the catalogue
number, I returned with this result which listed Brahms, not Bach.

http://www.emiclassics.com/classics-cgi-bin/catalogue/details.pl?id=2525
Its available both in Laserdisc and VHS formats, but only for PAL. 


Amazon does list an 'Archival Treasures' with David Oistrakh, but I
think thats the first volume.

Search query: ""Rostropovich" "Moscow Philharmonic" "Richter"
"Oistrakh" "Bach" "VHS""


I've done a bit of searching for a US version, unfortunately none seem
to be available.  There are methods of watching PAL tapes on NTSC VHS
machines though.

I hope this helps.
