However, for artists like Vladimir Horowitz, it was time to find a second or third wind, making his miraculous comeback during the 1980s to thrill a new generation of music lovers.

One was hard stretched to imagine a septuagenarian attempting three piano concertos in a single evening, but this was no mere flight of fantasy for the indefatigable.
