Profile

Vladimir Horowitz made his debut in 1921, and his stunning technique gained him an international reputation. He became an inveterate touring performer, giving 100 concerts a year in the U.S. alone. Always susceptible to nervous strain, in 1953 he decided to quit public performance; his return to the concert stage in 1965 was attended by great publicity, and he continued to perform into his 80s.
