Zuzana Růžičková was one of the world’s leading harpsichordists. Her more than 65 recorded albums and thousands of public performances from the early 1950s to 2006 have won her legions of fans and thrilled audiences across the world. She was born in Pilsen, Czechoslovakia, in 1925, and has become a force for good music off the stage as a teacher and mentor to young students, as a director over many years at the Prague Spring Festival and as a leader in the overlapping stages of outstanding Czech musical performance and J.S. Bach.
Zuzana was the winner of many honors in many countries for her performances and her recordings of Bach, and she often said that it has been his inspiration that has not only imbued every facet of her musical life, but the very spirit of her life as well. Zuzana had a wonderful marriage with Viktor that spanned more than 50 years. Click here for more about Zuzana.
