Pierre Luboshutz, whose actual name was Petr Saulovic Lubosic, was born on June 17th 1891 in Odessa. He studied violin with his father but eventually turned to the piano. He was a pupil of Konstantin Igumnov (1873-1946) at the Moscow University other famous pupils were Maria Grinberg, Lev Oborin , and Ryszard Bakst). Igumnov himself had studied with Nikolai Zverev, teacher of Rachmaninoff and Scriabin.
Luboshutz, who graduated in 1912, was the pianist in the Luboshutz Trio (Lubosic Trio) with violinist Liá Saulovna Luboshutz (February 22, 1885 - March 18, 1965) and cellist Anna Saulovna Luboshutz (July 25, 1887 - February 22, 1975). When he lived in Paris he studied for some time with Edouard Risler (1873-1929).
In 1926 Pierre came to the US as accompanist to violinist Efrem (Efraim) Zimbalist (who was director of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia from 1941 to 1961).
Pierre Luboshutz concertized with cellist Gregor Piatigorsky many times. He also accompanied Sergei Koussevitzky when the maestro was giving recitals playing the double bass. Some of their performances were recorded and released by the Victor Company in 1928: Andante from Concerto in f (Koussevitzky), Valse miniature (Koussevitzky), Minuet in G (Beethoven), Chanson triste and Largo from Sonata (Koussevitzky).
Pierre and Genia performed Mozart's K 365 in 1944 in Boston's Symphony Hall and Bach's Concerto for Two Pianos at Tanglewood in 1947 under the direction of the great conductor.
Pierre Luboshutz arranged many compositions for 2 pianos. He was the composer-arranger of "The Bat, A Fantasy on themes from Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss".
When they were already for 18 years a successful duo they made recordings for the Remington label around 1954.
On R-199-143 Pierre and Genia play Reger's 'Introduction, Passacaglia and Fugue', Pierre's arrangement of 'Rondo in D Major' (Carl Maria von Weber), 'Rondo in C Major' Op. 73 (Frederic Chopin), 'Perpetual Motion' on a theme by Brahms (Portnoff) and Kovacs's arrangement of 'Largo al factotum' from 'The Barber of Seville' (Rossini). This record was released in July 1953.
On R-199-147 they perform the arrangement by Pierre Luboshutz of De Falla's "Ritual Fire Dance" which the duo-pianists play with assurance and verve. A very sensitive performance of 'Variations on a Theme by Beethoven' composed by Camille Saint-Saëns, and 'Lindaraja' by Debussy can be found on that same disc which has on Side One Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Sonata in D., K 448.
Their playing is lean, technically practically perfect and has a lot of strength and drive, which they particularly show in the execution of "Introduction, Passacaglia and Fugue" by Max Reger on R-199-143. But also their Mozart is of the highest quality.
The couple had met for the first time in Paris in 1931, they married in that same year and formed a piano duo in 1937.
Pierre Luboshutz who was born on June 17th 1891 in Odessa died on April 17th, 1971, and was buried in the Seaview Cemetery in Rockport, Maine, USA.
Genia Nemenoff - born in Paris, Oct. 23, 1905 - died in 1989. She is buried next to her husband Pierre Luboshutz.
