Born on November 23, 1945 in Tbilisi to a family of Polish and Russian (on her father’s side) and Jewish (on her mother’s side) origin, her parents evacuated to Tbilisi from Odessa at the beginning of the war. She gave her first concert with an orchestra at the age of 11, and a solo concert at the age of thirteen.In 1964, she entered the Moscow Conservatory (class of Yakov Milstein).

During her studies, she received several prizes at major international competitions: George Enescu (Bucharest, 1964), Marguerite long (Paris, 1965), Queen Elizabeth (Brussels, 1968). She played Mozart sonatas arranged by Grieg for two pianos with Svyatoslav Richter, who had a decisive influence on her development as a pianist.

On November 29, 1978, while on tour in Vienna, she announced that she decided not to return to the USSR. According to other sources, the departure documents were prepared in advance, although in a very short time (just a week), and friends who came shortly before her departure for her last birthday had time to say goodbye to her.

In June 1986, while in France, Elizabeth of Leon met with Joseph Brodsky, who later dedicated two poems to her: “Bagatelle “(1987) in the book” Urania “and” in the air — a strong frost and needles… ” (1994. According to leonskaya herself, of Brodsky’s friends, she was one of the last to see him alive — the day before his death.
