'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.

Bruno Monsaingeon is a violinist, film-maker, and writer whose films about some of the greatest musicians of our day - among them Glenn Gould, Yehudi Menuhin, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and David Oistrakh - have been acclaimed throughout the world. His multi-award-winning film, Richter the Enigma, is one of several that reveal an intimate knowledge of Russian culture. He is the author of Mademoiselle, a series of interviews with Nadia Boulanger (also published in English by Amadeus Press), and of three books on Glenn Gould.
