Although you are probably right about Tchaikovaky, what on earth caused you to think this about Richter?? Until you care to produce evidence (and perhaps publish it), I label this as a disgusting mislabeling of one's gender. If you say everyone deserves to be called what they like please extend this to Richter and call him not what is trendy in modern society but what he would have liked. I think you will agree he at least deserves this. Cheers.

??? Richter was married. To Nina Dorliac (?)

Sasha Allan he is right it is well known that richter was gay. I know this for a fact of people that organized concerts with him. Don’t be sad though lol he is still a great musician

Being gay is the modern decadence of Eros. You can compare Richter with Socrates, and both were married. In our decadent christian Epoch nobody understands the meaning of Platonic Eros, that elevates the human being to the holy condition. Richter like Socrates have become gods!!! We attend the playing of a Greek God!!! Richter live forever!

Wow, you are pretty confident to think you can tell Oleg Kagan how to play Tchaikovsky. One of the very greatest of all Russian violinists.
