In August 1st, 1997 Sviatoslav Richter died at
the "Central Hospital" in Moscow, beacause of an heart attack. He was coming
from his Dacha.
To remember him, we recollected some touching postings from usenets
newsgroups. Messages
by his music lovers were after dismayed, then became soon sorrowful.
Then, a short report from the exquiaes in Moscows, referred by some friend. Then a
souvenir of the Maestro follows, during a trip across Italy, by Valerij
Voskbojnikov.
