About
Backhaus quickly realized the significance of the gramophone record, making his first solo recording in 1908.
Before the outbreak of the Second World War, the pianist summed up: “I have toured almost all the countries in Europe, have toured the United States seven times, South America and Australia twice and Egypt once. It is therefore impossible to count all the concerts. It may perhaps interest people to know that I always travel with my own piano stool, because it absolutely guarantees that I sit correctly, which is so extremely important when playing.”
At his last concert in Ossiach, Austria, on 28 June 1969, he broke off and shortened the programme. Backhaus died a week later in Villach.
