苏珊娜·鲁齐契科娃 Zuzana Růžičková

Zuzana Růžičková (born 14 January 1927) is an award-winning harpsichordist, whose work has garnered acclaim around the world. Born in Czechoslovakia, where she has lived her entire life, Růžičková is an interpreter of classical and baroque music. She was the first harpsichordist to have recorded Bach's complete works for keyboard. These recordings were made over ten years in the 1960's and 1970's for Erato Records, and have been remastered and newly released in 2016 by Warner Records/Erato. She was the wife of the late Czech composer Viktor Kalabis. As a teenager, Růžičková was imprisoned in the Nazi concentration camps of Terezin and Auschwitz, and was then transported to the Bergen-Belsen death camp. She was liberated in April 1945 and returned to Plzeň later that year. Both Růžičková and Kalabis refused to join the Communist regime of Czechoslovakia that held power from 1948 to 1989, and they were consistently harassed as a result. Růžičková performed across the world for 50 years; she made over 100 records; and taught such prominent musicians as Christopher Hogwood, Ketil Haugsand, Jaroslav Tůma, Monika Knoblochová, and Mahan Esfahani. <a href="<a href=" https:="" en.wikipedia.org="" wiki="" zuzana_r%c5%af%c5%bei%c4%8dkov%c3%a1'="">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuzana_Růžičková'>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuzana_Růžičková
