Mark Salman, piano
works by Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin and more
Hailed as a “heroic virtuoso,” concert and recording artist Mark Salman has performed in Europe, Asia, Canada and throughout the United States, including Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York, in performances described as “powerful,” “astonishing, exacting, evocative,” “wildly imaginative” and “touchingly lyrical.” His account of his meetings with and playing for Vladimir Horowitz appears in the book, Evenings with Horowitz.
Besides his wide-ranging repertoire, Mr. Salman is perhaps best known for his expertise on Beethoven, having performed the complete cycle of the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas on both coasts as well as in 18 broadcasts on KING–FM in Seattle. His performance of Liszt’s transcription of the Beethoven Symphony No. 7 was named by Seattle Weekly one of three “Performances of the Year.” www.marksalman.net.
