'To Richter (no first name necessary), warm greetings to the best
pianist in the Soviet Union - indeed in the whole world.' Prokofiev
Throughout a life dedicated to music, Richter maintained a stubborn
silence about his own ideals and aspirations. Here at last he opens
up his heart in these exceptional interviews with Bruno
Monsaingeon, who became close to Richter not long before the
pianist's death in 1995. These conversations take us on a journey
which begins with Richter's childhood memories, follows his early
career and his development into 'an artist of the people', and
finally charts his rise to international acclaim. Richter's
personal notebooks, kept for nearly thirty years, constitute an
unparalleled witness to the music of our time. The pianist writes
with precision, humour and clarity and is uninhibitedly himself.
These are the private thoughts of a nonconformist, one of the
greatest performers of the century, yet one whose life was
inextricably bound to the history of the USSR.
