At nineteen she had earned a reputation as an extraordinary pianist, and by the early 1930s had become a protégé first of Sergei Prokofiev and then Sergei Rachmaninoff. But in 1942 she ended her concert career abruptly after a performance with John Barbirolli and the New York Philharmonic to spend her time with her two children and her husband, a decision that haunted her--and her family--for the rest of her life. She made no recordings, only a few piano rolls)
