Vladimir's talent was quickly recognized, and he was accepted into the Moscow Conservatory at the age of 12. He studied under some of the most prominent piano teachers in Russia, including Yakov Flier and Lev Naumov. Vladimir's dedication and hard work paid off, and he graduated from the conservatory with honors in 1972. After graduation, Vladimir began performing as a soloist and chamber musician throughout Russia and Europe. He quickly gained a reputation as a virtuoso pianist with a unique style and interpretation of classical music.

In 1976, Vladimir won the prestigious Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow. This competition is one of the most prestigious piano competitions in the world, and winning it is considered a significant achievement. Vladimir's performance of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 was particularly impressive, and it cemented his reputation as one of the world's leading pianists. Following his success at the Tchaikovsky Competition, Vladimir began performing with some of the world's leading orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the New York Philharmonic.
