"The private lives and professional habits and tastes of most living Russian and Soviet born pianists are completely unknown to most Western music lovers. Thus the great need for a book dealing with these subjects. The author, a well-known music journalist and piano teacher, has brought all of this information together. This book contains illustrated biographies of the lives of the greatest living Russian piano virtuosi including Emil Gilels, Lazar Berman, Sviatoslav Richter, Eliso Virsaladze, Vladimir Krainev, Andrei Gavrilov, Nikolai Petrov, Dmitri Bashkirov, Mikhail Pletnyov, Gregory Sokolov, and, last but not least, the well-known pianist composers Rodion Shchedrin and Tikhon Khrennikov." -- From the book jacket.
