A pianist of legendary fame and stature, Vladimir Horowitz was born in Kiev, Ukraine. His mother, herself a professional pianist, provided his first instruction at the piano and was the first to recognize his extraordinary talents; he studied further at the Kiev Conservatory. His first public appearance was a recital in Kiev on May 30, 1920, and in 1922 he gave a series of 15 concerts in Kharkov for which he was paid in food and clothing. Although Russia was still reeling from the revolution of 1917, Horowitz fashioned successful concert tours in major cities such as Moscow, Leningrad, and Kiev – marking the beginning of a performing career of unflagging and spectacular success.

Byron Janis De son vrai nom Byron Yanks, né à McKeesport (Pennsylvanie) le 24 mars 1928 dans une famille d'immigrés russes, Byron Janis fut l'un des pianistes les plus doués de sa génération. Il apprend le piano dès l'âge de cinq ans et a pour premier professeur Abraham Litow, formé au conservatoire de Leningrad, avant de poursuivre son apprentissage musical à New York avec Joseph Lhévinne et Rosina Lhévinne pendant six ans. Malgré la découverte d'une arthrose précoce qui laisse son auriculaire gauche insensible, il s'en accommode et commence à se produire en public, à la radio ou en concert après un premier récital au Carnegie Hall de Pittsburgh, en 1937. Pianiste prodige, il donne à quinze ans son premier concert de soliste avec l'Orchestre de la NBC dirigé par Arturo Toscanini à New York, dans le Concerto pour piano n° 2 de Rachmaninov.

Shafran became something of a legendary figure amongst cellists. He made a fabled child prodigy debut at ten, playing the Rococo Variations with the Leningrad Philharmonic conducted by Albert Coates. In later years, though, he toured abroad very seldom – making sporadic visits in the 1960s to Rome, New York and London and a succession of visits to Japan where he was immensely popular and had a number of students. Towards the end of his life he gave two celebrated recitals at Wigmore Hall.
