''For over fifty years, Vladimir Horowitz has mesmerized audiences with his dazzling virtuosity. Having pushed romantic freedom of expression to its limits, he established himself as a modern Liszt and crated an aura of mystery equaled by no other performing artist of his day. The career and life of Vladimir Horowitz are intimately linked -- to ignore one is not to understand the other. Rarely has an artist's personal life more dramatically affected the shape of his career.
