Taken from the YouTube Article:

Harvey Lavan "Van" Cliburn, Jr., (July 12, 1934-February 27, 2013)
has been called an American hero, hailed as one of the most persuasive
ambassadors of American culture as well as one of the greatest pianists
in the history of music. With his historic 1958 victory in the first
Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow at the height
of the Cold War, Van Cliburn tore down cultural barriers years ahead
of glasnost and perestroika, reaching out across political frontiers with
a universal message all could greet with joy: the message of beautiful
music.

Cliburn was the first musician ever honored with a ticker-tape parade in
New York City, a true hero's welcome and a show of gratitude for an
American victory on the heels of the Soviet Union's launching of Sputnik.
Again reaching across cultural borders, Cliburn invited the Russian
conductor Kirill Kondrashin to come to New York and reprise the
performances that had earned the young American the gold medal in
Moscow. Cliburn's recording of the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.
1 with Kondrashin became the first classical album to reach platinum
status and has gone on to sell more than three million copies.
