"George Richter" is regarded as an "apocryphal conductor". Jonathan Brown states in his book on the recordings of Tristan und Isolde that the name "George Richter" has "appeared in connection with a performance of another, real conductor". CDs, e.g., with the titles "The Wagner Collection" and "Wagner - Opera/The Collection", attributed as "London Symphony Orchestra" conducted by "George Richter" is actually Heinrich Hollreiser conducting the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. Among recordings attributed with the name "George Richter" and "London Symphony Orchestra" is also one with works of Edward Elgar.
