Bolet was born in Havana, Cuba and studied at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where he himself taught from 1939 to 1942. His teachers included Leopold Godowsky, Josef Hofmann, David Saperton, Moriz Rosenthal and Fritz Reiner. In 1937, he won the Naumburg Competition, and gave his debut recital. In 1942 Bolet joined the US Army. He was sent to Japan as part of the Army of Occupation. While there, he conducted the Japanese premiere of The Mikado. He made his first recordings for Remington. He provided the piano soundtrack for the 1960 film about Franz Liszt, Song Without End. His playing, though, was condemned by American critics for decades, as too focused on romantic virtuosity, so he only made a few recordings for smaller labels in the 1960s. He came to prominence in 1974 with a stupendous recital at Carnegie Hall, which sealed his reputation.
