Source notes, discography, repertory listing, index. Gray endpapers. Description: Includes a few black and white illustrations. ''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. Encompassing 650 recorded interviews with Horowitz's friends and associates, 50 tape recorded interviews with Horowitz himself, letters, concert and record reviews, and other material from archives and private collections, this provides the details of a life as rich-veined and provocative as the playing.''
