Benno Moiseiwitsch
Benno Moiseiwitsch moved from Russia to England with his parents as a young boy. He studied in Vienna, and returned to England in 1908 aged eighteen, where subsequently established himself internationally as one of the greatest pianists of his generation. Moiseiwitsch became a British subject in 1937, and supported his adopted country’s war effort with a gruelling round of charity concerts.
