Rudolf Kehrer (10 July 1923 – 29 October 2013; surname also spelled Kerer) was a much-recorded Soviet and Russian classical pianist.
Biography
Kehrer was born in Tiflis, Georgia (later Tbilisi, Georgia) to a family of piano-makers who had emigrated from Swabia.[1] He was a solo pianist of the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra and professor at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory.[1] In 1961, he won the All-Union Contest.[1] Kehrer was long known only in Eastern bloc countries, as he was denied the opportunity to travel freely.[1] His recording career lasted for over 40 years (1961–2001) in many diverse locations.
Kehrer resided in Zürich, Switzerland until his death in 2013 at age 90.[1]
