- Rachmaninov’s last living pupil, 99-year-old pianist Ruth Slenczynska, has had an astonishing career spanning nearly a century.
Described as “the greatest piano genius since Mozart”, Slenczynska is a former child prodigy who recorded for Decca in the 1950s and 60s, when she became known as one of the most celebrated Chopin interpreters.
Her solo piano album ‘My Life in Music’ (recorded in 2021) is out now on Decca Classics: shop.decca.com/products/my-li...

If I make it to 99, I'd be happy to be half this full of life. Wonderful! I'm officially adding her to my "people I'd love to have dinner with" :D
I have a similar list, although it’s for afternoon tea.
В России вряд ли бы она прожила столько лет!
Well done, Ruth! You are an inspiration to all of us!
That was ultra-delightful! What a bright spirit!
She is a national treasure!
Wow luckiest person ever what a pleasure that must’ve been to know him and learn from him.
Congratulations Ruth! You are an exceptional human being.
¡¡¡ Admirable!!! ❤❤❤
What an inspiration. 🥰
So nice... Bravo !!!
Wonderful!
Brilliant
She definitely is a role model to many, many people.
Harry Truman was probably the only POTUS who deeply loved (and knew) classical music; his enthusiasm for Ruth would have been genuine.
Bravo! Great story.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ We love you 💕💝

LUCKY ‼️
There’s even a video when she was young but not one video of Rachmaninoff at the piano, how unfortunate
I have not heard of her, though.
Rachmaninoff did not teach and had no pupils.
Tibor Yusti von Arth was pupil from Rachmaninov.
Gina Bachauer was a pupil of Rachmaninoff.
you are SO wrong about that. He taught lots and had many students.
Yes he did read his book.
