Benno Moiseiwitsch is one of the greatest pianists living. He was only nine years old when he won the Rubinstein prize for piano playing as a pupil of the Imperial Academy of Music in his native city of Odessa. He stayed there for five years, later going to Vienna under the maestro Leschetizky. He played at his first Queen's Hall concert in London in 1909, and scored the first success of many that have endeared him to his public over here.
