The Right to Record is a book of articles, essays, and recordings by journalist and writer Frida Vigdorova (1915–1965). Most of it is built on archival materials - writers' and journalists' notebooks, in which one of the main features of Vigdorova's talent was revealed: absolute pitch for human speech and the ability to artistically reproduce the polyphony heard. The book also includes a chapter from her unfinished story “The Teacher.” In addition to Vigdorova’s texts, the book includes fragments of memoirs, articles, and speeches dedicated to her life, creativity and activities. Most of the materials are published for the first time. Frida Vigdorova’s texts are published with the author’s spelling and punctuation preserved.
