Maurice Ravel said about him «A great musician is born, a really extraordinary one». He achieved his first international success playing with Joseph Szigeti, the famous violinist. After the war he was one of the first musicians who played in Paris and, after 1947, in USA. Among the countless outstanding events of his career may be mentioned the first performance of Prokofiev's «VII Sonata», that of Strawinsky's «Capriccio» under the direction of the composer, «tournées» in Europe, USA, Japan and Israel. He has been often and regularly present among the judges of the most important international competitions (Leeds, Warsaw, Bruxelles, Lucerne) always alert to the eventual discovery of talented persons among the young generations. He recorded pieces of music from Liszt, Tchaikowsky, Weber, Strawinsky, Brahms, Granados and recently, Chopin's «opera omnia». Nikita Magaloff is an unexcelled interpreter of Chopin's works which he presented in the most important European cities.
