He was born in San Francisco, where he started studying the piano at age 4. He made his public debut at age 8 and played with the New York Philharmonic under Pierre Monteux at 16; Monteux famously called him "the pianistic find of the century." He became one of the few child virtuosos to be accepted for study with Artur Schnabel, and also studied with Maria Curcio, the last and favourite pupil of Schnabel. After making a memorable series of recordings with George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra, he lost the use of his right hand, due to focal dystonia. He continued performing the left-handed repertoire until he quite recently regained the use of his right hand through a combination of Rolfing and botox injections. In addition, he undertook conducting during this time, serving at one time as Music Director of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra in Maryland.
