Nikita Magaloff

'[1] He was best known for his espousal of the music of Chopin and was accustomed to perform the complete piano works in series of six recitals.

[citation needed] While these recordings have been criticised for their failure to plumb the depths of Chopin's works, they were innovative for their textual fidelity and unsentimentality.

[2] Among his many pupils were the pianists Martha Argerich, Maria Tipo, Ingrid Haebler and Valery Sigalevitch, and the organist Lionel Rogg.

[citation needed] Nikita Magaloff was married to Irene (1920–2005), the daughter of the violinist Joseph Szigeti (1892-1973) with whom he had established his international reputation in concerts before the war interrupted his career.

[citation needed] He found his final resting place at the cemetery of Clarens-Montreux in the Swiss canton of Vaud, just a few meters from the tomb of his father-in-law Joseph Szigeti and his mother-in-law Wanda, née Ostrowska (1895-1969).
