Miłosz Magin

about

Miłosz Magin (6 July 1929 – 4 March 1999) was a Polish composer and pianist. Born in Lodz, Poland on the 6th of July 1929, Milosz Magin showed considerable musical abilities from early childhood. He was a student of piano with Margerita Trombini-Kazuro and composition with both Kazimierz Sikorski and Jan Maklakiewicz; the latter he considered his spiritual father. Magin also studied violin, cello and ballet. In 1957, he completed his piano, composition and conducting studies and graduated from the Warsaw Higher School of Music with highest distinction. Milosz Magin won prizes in several international competitions: The Chopin Competition in Warsaw, The Marguerite Long - Thibaud Competition in Paris and the Vianna da Motta Competition in Lisbon. He left his native country together with his wife Idalia Magin and stayed in Portugal, Germany, and England until finally settling in Paris in 1960. His brilliant career as an international soloist was tragically interrupted in 1963 because of a serious car crash in which his left wrist was broken. With remarkable courage, he regained his technique and by 1968 was able to start recording the complete works of Chopin for Decca, a set regarded as a revelation and a reference for young pianists (complete reissue on CD by Universal in 2000). During these years of recovery, Magin came back to composition, which became a priority until the end of his life. Prodigious virtuoso of piano, he regularly gave concerts in many different European
