Richter was a strange human being. As a judge in that competition he gave Cliburn a 10 and the rest of the pianists a 0. The Soviet officials found this none-too-amusing.

He stopped playing in the U.S. after 1970 because of some anti-Soviet heckling he recieved.

I know about Richter and have many of his recordings. My comment was meant to point out that you don’t know his first name, by which I am amused.
