Sviatoslav Richter's talent was such that Prokofiev's 9th Sonata was dedicated to him, he performed at Stalin's funeral with Oistrakh and Rostropovich and accompanied Schwarzkopf and Fischer-Dieskau. This profile, illustrated by rare and previously unseen archive material spanning from the 1950's to the present day, will give audiences a view of life in Soviet Russia as seen from the standpoint of one of the world's greatest and yet most enigmatic pianists.
