One of the most famous classic documentaries about pianist Sviatoslav Richter is available on DVD once again! Entirely "narrated" by Richter through his writings and speech, the film reveals the hardships of the great pianist's life that shaped his career and artistry. Archival footage, rare or unpublished musical material, and an interview with his wife, singer Nina Dorliac, make this film a particularly fine document of a life in art.
