	Sviatoslav Richter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sviatoslav Richter was widely recognized as one of the great pianists of the 20th century, and some consider him to be the greatest of all [1].
		Richter was born in Zhitomir (in the territory of modern Ukraine) to a German expatriate father and a Russian mother [2].
		Richter met the soprano Nina Dorliak in 1945 when he accompanied her in a program that included songs by Rimsky-Korsakov and Prokofiev.

	Sviatoslav Richter Feature and CD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Because Richter was not a member of the Communist Party, and because he had no children, Soviet officials considered him a security risk and thought he might try to escape to the West.
		Deutsche Grammophon was also keen on Richter, and it was on Richter's Italian tour in the early '60s that EMI and DG, thanks to Lesier, found themselves in a unique collaborative spirit.
		Leiser says Richter was deeply offended by the insult to his Jewish friend, and, as a consequence, may have decided he would never tour the USA again.

	Archives \| Svliatoslav Richter by Alexander Coleman, Vol. 16
		Richter’s father was an organist and instilled some musical culture in his son, but he gave him no rudimentary lessons; the young Sviatoslav seems to have been essentially self-taught.
		Richter’s mother, a distant descendant of Jenny Lind, used to insist that the family was of a lineage composed of “Russian, German, Polish, Swedish and Hungarian” forebears.
		Richter was a natural, as they say—he never underwent the torture of a forced practice regime, the scales in all keys, the dreary Hanon and the hateful Czerny.

	Sviatoslav Richter
		Our first professional contact with Sviatoslav Richter occurred as the result of the discovery of some tapes with Mozart Violin Sonatas which we were able to acquire from the Moscow archives of Kondrashin.
		Richter definitely liked his recordings to be released as long as he was confident about their musical quality.
		Richter would never have agreed to release a patchwork of different performances, and actually none of the Live Classics CDs is such a compilation of one piece from various recitals.

	The Enigma of Sviatoslav Richter
		Richter was often called "the best pianist in the world" - and not just by the press, but by many leading pianists themselves.
		Richter's longing for harmony went far deeper in addressing man's spiritual state of being, which certainly does involve the partaking of earthly enjoyments but in a way as yet unknown to humanity.
		Richter, having been born into a family where he was able to gain command of the German language, could have easily come across this book in his travels even before it was translated into Russian in 1991 had he been seeking more intensely, with all the might of his spirit.

	Sviatoslav Richter 1915-1997
		Richter came to the attention of western publics in the 1960s, preceded by Emil Gilels's accounts of his contemporary's legendary feats at the keyboard.
		Although Richter was a late developer (not beginning serious tuition until 1937 at the age of 22 with the eminent pedagogue Heinrich Neuhaus, who also taught Gilels) he still went on to become one of the most unusual artists the classical music world has ever known.
		Net travellers are invited to submit their favorite Richter interpretations on CD or LP, with or without a brief commentary, in the language of their choice (English, francais, Deutsch).

	SVIATOSLAV RICHTER, LEGENDARY PIANIST
		That was how one critic was compelled to describe Sviatoslav Richter when he first heard him play, which was also how Clara Schumann spoke of the venerable Franz Lizst.
		Richter mesmerized audiences in the West with his exquisite mastery of the keyboard ever since the 1960s when he first made his appearance outside the Soviet bloc countries where he had been renowned for years.
		In his teens, he was attracted to a career in conducting and at the astoundingly young age of 15 became a conductor for the Odessa Opera and the Ballet Theater, a post he held for four years.

	Classical Net Review - Sviatoslav Richter - "The Authorized Recordings" & "Richter in Prague"
		Sviatoslav Richter was upset over a poster that advertised him as "the greatest pianist in the world," claiming that "I cannot live up to such a legend, I'm just a normal human being who plays the piano." Tell that to the pianists who regularly pack his concerts.
		Richter abhors microphones, and hasn't set foot in a recording studio – or, as he puts it, "the torture chamber" – since 1979.
		Richter may not zoom through "Feux Follets" at 73 like he did at 40, yet he digs deeper into these works with more power and heroic sweep than pianists half his age can muster.

	Biography of pianist Sviatoslav Richter - Classical Music
		Richter experimented with the piano through his childhood and is generally considered to have been self-taught.
		Neuhaus considered the young Richter a genius, and his talent was rewarded when the composer Sergei Prokofiev chose Richter to play the premiere performances of his Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Sonatas.
		Richter was known to cancel concerts on a whim and preferred to play in obscure locations, often announcing a concert while travelling around Europe by car because he needed the money.

		This issue of PST has been produced largely while listening to the new Richter Bach CD (Sonate, Toccata, Fantasie, Capriccio, Duette, Italianische Konzert) a rare import on the German Classics Live label; of all composers I know, I find Bach most conducive to thought, and Richter's Bach is strong, for strong thought.

	Sviatoslav Richter Information Page
		In the book Sviatoslav Richter: Notebooks and Conversations by Bruno Mosaingeon, Richter mentioned that not only was his perfect pitch altered by a full tone in his old age, but that the same thing happened to his teacher, the great pedagogue Heinrich Neuhaus.
		He went on to say that the main reason why he played with a score in his last years was that because of this altered pitch he tended to transpose automatically when playing from memory, and was thus afraid of presenting musical pieces in the wrong key to the audience.

		That Richter can subdue his monolithic sonority to blend into Oistrakh's sultry, obsessive riffs is the very definition of musical partnership.
		The encore, a simultaneously deft, enchanting version of the canonic Scherzo from Beethoven's F Major Sonata, teases us into thinking that, were these two men politicians, the evils of the Cold War could never have existed.
