Mozart, Fantasia K. 397 / Horszowski

Fantasia for piano in D minor, K. 397 (K. 385g) Mieczysław Horszowski was born in June 1892 in Lemburg, Poland. He was taught to play the piano by his mother, a student of one of Chopin's students, and his main teacher, Theodor Leschetizky, was a protégé of Czerny. He played for Fauré and perhaps Saint-Saëns in 1905 and made his U.S. debut, at Carnegie Hall, the following year. It was also during 1906 that he met the youthful Pablo Casals and Arturo Toscanini, who became lifelong friends (for many years he played chamber music with Casals). Interrupting his career to pursue a humanities degree at the Sorbonne in Paris from 1911 to 1913, Horszowski moved to Milan during the war and remained there until 1939, touring internationally. As World War II broke out, he headed for the U.S, where he remained for the rest of his life. Horszowski quickly found performing opportunities with Toscanini's NBC Symphony, and he began teaching at Philadelphia's Curtis Institute in 1942. Mieczysław Horszowski performed his last recital at age 99, slightly more than a year before his death in May 1993. As his sight had declined, he played on memory. Rec. in May 1986
