BANOWETZ, JOSEPH

Grammy nominated American pianist Joseph Banowetz has been heard as recitalist and orchestral soloist on five continents, with performances in previous seasons 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 (on a twelve-concert national tour), the Beijing National Philharmonic, the Shanghai Symphony, the Hong Kong Philharmonic, and the Seoul Philharmonic. In December 2007 Banowetz’s recording of Balakirev’s works received two official Grammy nominations. His recordings have been given wide critical acclaim, including Fanfare Record Review (U.S.) describing Banowetz as “a giant among keyboard artists of our time.” Banowetz’s over thirty recordings contain a significant number of world-première discs, these including first recordings of Anton Rubinstein solo piano works, all eight of Rubinstein’s piano and orchestra works, music of Sergey Taneyev (with Vladimir Ashkenazy as narrator), and compositions of Mily Balakirev and Leopold Godowsky.
