  • Richter Rachs!

  • It's spelled Рахманинов, there's no correct English spelling since it's not in English... What he had in his passport was Rachmaninoff I believe.

  • A lot of thanks.His performance was magic.

    What recording did you use? As a producer, and through his record label TNC, Ukrainian-American composer Virko Baley has released a series of CDs containing rare recordings of Ukraine born pianist Sviatoslav Richter and of the Cleveland Chamber Symphony, the latter earning him a Grammy Award. Is your recording from those ones?

  • @ggn1234 -My family were originally Ostrovsky and later shortened and changed to Ostroff.The Polish spelling would have been to Ostrovski.
