85th Birthday Celebration
Dorian Sono Luminus is proud to present these performances of Claude Frank, recorded at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York in 2008 and 2009 by Grammy® winning producer, Judith Sherman.
“A student of Artur Schnabel and a prominent interpreter of Beethoven, Claude Frank plays with an understated grandeur. There is a fire in his playing, nobility, inwardness, humor, and humanity. He understands musical architecture and the function of detail, and he invests every phrase with meaning.” - Richard Dyer
“Frank is one of the most admired American pianists. His playing of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms is outstanding for its warmth, its intellectual and musical strength and for a penetrating structural intelligence.” - Michael Steinberg
