Emil Gilels ( 1916 - 1985 ) was born in Odessa, Ukraine. He studied under Heinrich Nehaus at the Moscow Conservatory and was one of the first pianists to be allowed by Stalin to travel west. He would go on to record for EMI, RCA and DG. He has benchmark recordings of the Brahms Ballades & Concertos, Tchaikovsky Concertos, Grieg Lyric Pieces, and was just a few sonatas shy of completing a Beethoven sonata cycle.
