Richter insisted that he not be able to see the microphones, even if he were looking for them.
In other words, not just that there could be no microphones in his line of sight as he played. No microphones visible as he walked up to the piano, or faced the audience and bowed.
Makes it a little difficult.
They hid the mics in the chandelier.
How do you think that sounded?

Follow Ups:
I would assume that Richter would have accepted the necessary presence of microphones at a studio or empty-hall recording session.
Perhaps he had stage fright and the thought that a slip might be immortalized via tape made the dread a self-fulfilling prophecy, but if he couldn't see any microphones, he could fool himself into thinking that his live playing was not being recorded.

"Richter insisted that he not be able to see the microphones, even if he were looking for them."
That would explain it.....
It's almost like bad Toscanini recordings.... The actual performance and what's on the recording can be perceived as two totally different things.
