Polish pianist Ignaz Friedman was one of the leading virtuosos of his day but
was also a composer and a master transcriber. Friedman’s transcriptions
are both a delight for the listener and a challenge for the performer, and his
creative imagination gives these delicious, charming and moving works a life of
their own, introducing pianistic effects both breathtakingly bravura and
disarmingly subtle while remaining faithful to the originals.

Grammy nominated American pianist Joseph Banowetz has been heard as recitalist
and orchestral soloist on five continents, with performances with such
orchestras as the St Petersburg Philharmonic, the Moscow State Symphony, the
Prague and Bratislava Radio Orchestras, the Budapest Symphony, the Barcelona
Concert Society Orchestra, the New Zealand Symphony, the Beijing National
Philharmonic, the Shanghai Symphony, the Hong Kong Philharmonic, and the Seoul
Philharmonic. Banowetz is also well known as an author. His book The
Pianist’s Guide to Pedalling (Indiana University Press) has to date been
printed in seven languages. He is a graduate with a First Prize from the Vienna
Akademie für Musik und Darstellende Kunst, and his teachers have included
Carl Friedberg (a pupil of Clara Schumann) and György Sándor (a pupil of
Bartók).
