RICHTER'S DEATH


visitors since October, 16th, 2000

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.
