After initial\ninstruction from his father, a professional pianist, he began studies at\nthe age of eight with Leschetizky pupil Vladimir Puchalsky, who would later\nmentor Horowitz. Upon graduation from the Kiev Conservatory in 1911 where a\nvisiting Rachmaninov predicted that he would have a great future,\nBrailowsky went to Vienna to study under Leschetizky himself, and made his\nfirst public appearances there in 1913. In Zürich, he met with Busoni and\nsought out his guidance. Moving to Paris where he eventually took up French\ncitizenship, he received further instruction from Planté before making a\nrecital debut there in 1919.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nIt was in Paris in 1924 that he first presented a series of six concerts he\ndevised containing all 169 solo piano works by Chopin, using the composer’s\nown piano for part of the recital. He repeated this program in Brussels,\nZürich, Mexico City, Buenos Aires and Montevideo, and established a\nreputation as a Chopin specialist, even though his wide repertoire ranged\nfrom Bach to Bartók.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nHis American career also began in 1924, and included a coast-to-coast tour\nin 1936, as well as a repeat of his Chopin cycle during the 1937\/8 and\n1946\/7 seasons. During the latter season, he set attendance records in New\nYork. For the sesquicentennial of the composer’s birth in 1960, he repeated\nhis Chopin cycle a final time in Paris and Brussels. He gave his last\nrecital at Carnegie Hall in 1967, and died on 25 April 1976.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nBrailowsky made his first disc recordings for Polydor in Berlin between\n1928 and 1934. He also recorded a series of piano rolls for Ampico during\nthe late 1920s. After a couple sessions for HMV in 1938, he began a long\nassociation with RCA Victor (1940 – 1958) before making a final group of\nrecordings for American Columbia (1960\/1).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe present release is the first of two which will present his complete\npre-war Polydor recordings in new transfers for the first time in nearly\nthirty years. This volume focuses on his Chopin recordings from this\nperiod, including the world première recording of the composer’s E minor\nPiano Concerto, while the second will present his recordings of Liszt and\nother composers.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nIn this release, the sources for the transfers were all German (or, in one\ncase, Austrian) Polydor pressings, except for the concerto, which came from\na mid-1930s laminated Brunwick edition pressed by American Columbia, and\none other disc which came from an early non-laminated Brunswick.\nConsiderable care has been taking in pitching the original recordings,\nseveral of which had speed fluctuations throughout the sides.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMark
