| “ | Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (January 5, 1920 – June 12, 1995) was an Italian classical pianist.
Born in Brescia, Italy, he began music lessons at the age of three, initially with the violin, but quickly switched to the piano. At ten he entered the Milan Conservatory. In 1938, at age eighteen, he began his international career by entering the Ysaÿe International Festival in Brussels, Belgium, where he placed seventh (a brief account of this competition, at which Emil Gilels took first prize, is given by Arthur Rubinstein, who was one of the judges. According to Rubinstein, Michelangeli gave "an unsatisfactory performance, but already showed his impeccable technique"). A year later he earned first prize in the Geneva International Competition where he was acclaimed as "a new Liszt" by pianist Alfred Cortot, a member of the judging panel, which was presided over by Ignacy Jan Paderewski. | ” |

Thanks absolis for this Michelangeli collection.....not sure what the previous comment meant by "no more rapidshare", but the links are fine and seeing that the majority of us use RS, it seems a bit of a daft remark.
