Mieczyslaw Horszowski

Mieczyslaw Horszowski is an insider's tip for piano connoisseurs. He was famous as a Wunderkind and then again when he approached 100 years of age. According to Wikipedia he "had the longest career in the history of the performing arts".

From this short biography, which also includes some photos:

In 1981, at age 89, Mieczyslaw Horszowski married for the first time; his wife was Italian pianist Beatrice Costa.

I think he got to know her, as she studied with him.
