Sviatoslav Richter (March 20, 1915 - August 1, 1997), known as the greatest pianist of the 20th century, plays Beethoven with a powerful force that draws listeners in. The core of his charm is the outstanding virility and solemn sense of elation, and the tranquil beauty of the softest notes that can be heard in the background is also exquisite.
