Born in Moscow, Russia, in 1953, Rachlevsky showed an early interest in music and began playing the violin at the age of six. He was a prodigious talent and quickly gained recognition for his exceptional skills. Rachlevsky's family moved to the United States when he was 14 years old, and he continued his musical education at the Juilliard School in New York City.
