Emil Gilels - one of the greatest Russian pianists of the century - was among the first prominent Soviet artists to appear in the West after World War II. In 1957 - the year of his British debut - he recorded Scarlatti, Beethoven, Scriabin and Prokofiev for the Third Programme and enjoyed a broadcasting career here until his death in 1984. Stephen Plaistow examines his rich BBC legacy and celebrates his distinction as a recitalist, soloist and chamber-music player.
