And Richter could play the cello! I've read that he and Rostropovitch swapped instruments in some recitals.

I did not know that about Richter. Is it true? ( I don't remember reading it in the Rasmussen biography).

At any rate, speaking of musicians of the century, those two would certainly be in contention.
For violin, David Oistrakh was a true giant and would get my vote ahead of Heifetz.
