About Vladimir Horowitz

"Piano playing consists of common sense, heart, and technical resources. All three should be equally developed."

Vladimir Horowitz made his U.S. debut at Carnegie Hall in 1928, playing Tchaikovsky's "Piano Concerto No. 1." That same year, the pianist's first gramophone recordings were made available in the United States for the Victor Talking Machine Company.
The 1943 live performance of the Tchaikovsky concerto featuring Horowitz and Arturo Toscanini was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in 1998. Horowitz was honored with a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990.

Horowitz and his wife, Wanda Toscanini Horowitz, worked with the Humane Society of New York to save the lives of dogs in need. The Vladimir Horowitz and Wanda Toscanini Horowitz Adoption Center has helped to save the lives of thousands of dogs and cats.
