Sviatoslav Richter - Notebooks and Conversations

When Writer and Filmmaker Bruno Monsaingeon got the phone call in 1995, he couldn't believe his ears! The enigmatic and elusive pianist Sviatoslav Richter, whom he had pursued for years, was finally agreeing to an interview-- and not just one interview, as it turned out, but a series of interviews that he filmed and turned into a documentary and book. KBAQ's Randy Kinkel reviews this book that provides a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the heart and mind of one of the 20th century's greatest pianists.
