His repertoire spanned classical piano and chamber music, and his performances were marked by superb technique, tonal control, and a disciplined yet deeply spiritual approach. Gilels' influence extended beyond his performances; he also taught at the prestigious Moscow Conservatory. Despite facing challenges, including KGB harassment, his legacy endures through his extensive recordings and the enduring admiration of classical music enthusiasts worldwide. His daughter, Elena, followed in his musical footsteps, becoming a pianist herself.
