"There were so many unique facets to Horowitz's playing: the unmistakable sound, the…musical imagination, the extraordinary power and speed…yet alongside the famous spine-tingling bravura on display in Liszt, Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky is some wonderfully delicate playing in miniatures such as Scriabin's little Prelude in E major, Op 11 No 9, surely one of the greatest of all piano recordings…" Gramophone
Born in the Ukraine in 1903, Vladimir Horowitz entered the Kiev Conservatory at the age of nine, his teachers being Sergey Tarnowsky and Felix Blumenfeld. He played in Russia from 1920, but then left the country in 1925. After his Berlin and American débuts in the late 1920s he had a unique career, involving four periods of retirement from the concert stage and many triumphs. His last concerts were given in the mid-1980s and he died in New York in 1989.
