Back Cover Biography (English excerpt):
The Russian pianist Svjatoslav Richter is now regarded as one of the most outstanding artists of the present day. He was born in 1915 at Zhitomir in the Ukraine, the son of a musical family of German extraction. His father, trained at the Vienna Conservatoire, was a highly regarded pianist and teacher; his mother a gifted amateur musician. He gave his first recital at age 19 in Odessa, and later studied under Heinrich Neuhaus in Moscow. In 1959, Richter traveled to Western Europe for the first time, and in 1960 achieved worldwide acclaim during his U.S.A. tour which culminated in triumphs in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
