## Bio

Sviatoslav Teofilovich Richter was born March 20, 1915, in Russia, and grew up to become a classical pianist under the Soviet system. His virtuoso technique let him master an unusually vast repertoire, but what set him apart was the depth he brought to each interpretation - a combination that drew praise across borders and decades. By the time he died on August 1, 1997, the consensus had hardened: he was one of the greatest pianists the century produced, possibly the greatest. The recordings remain the argument.
