Arthur Judson, famous orchestra and artists manager, and the second largest stockholder of Columbia Broadcasting Systems, sails to Paris to meet Vladimir Horowitz, and becomes his exclusive manager. He immediately arranges a 30-concert United States tour for Horowitz, to begin on January 9, 1928 in New York. Arthur Judson’s agency will soon announce to Americans that Horowitz is “a superhuman combination of Rubinstein, Rosenthal, Paderewski, Busoni, Rachmaninoff, and Hofmann”.
