Moiseiwitsch, Benno

Moiseiwitsch, Benno

▪ British pianist
born Feb. 22, 1890, Odessa, Ukraine, Russian Empire
died April 9, 1963, London

      British pianist of Russian birth who excelled in playing the works of Sergey Rachmaninoff and P.I. Tchaikovsky.

      His early training was with Dmitry Klimov in Odessa; Moiseiwitsch won the Rubinstein Prize at the age of nine. He studied with Theodor Leschetizky in Vienna from 1904 to 1908, then joined his family in England, making his English debut at Reading in 1908, his London debut the following year. He toured the United States (first in 1919), Australia, India, Japan, and South America. He became a naturalized British citizen in 1937.

      His style was probably modeled on Rachmaninoff's; it was exuberant and energetic yet had an elegant and refined touch. He had a large repertory and excelled in playing Romantic, and especially Russian, works.
