English Summary/英文概要： Svjatoslav Richter, 1915‑97, was one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, and a very peculiar person with an equally peculiar relationship to the world. This man of secrets and paradoxes is not easy to portray, but through extensive research Karl Aage Rasmussen has gained access to previously unknown papers and documents, which have provided him with the opportunity to write a truly solid and in-depth biography of Richter. The many illustrations in the book include photos of Richter from his earliest childhood to his last months as well as a large amount of historical, never published photos.
