Campoli made his professional debut with a recital at Wigmore Hall in 1923. Thirty years later, Campoli performed with the New York Philharmonic under George Szell for his American debut. He toured extensively, including visits to Europe, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, Australia, and the Soviet Union. Campoli passed away on March 27, 1991.
