Synopsis

Album Description
Live recordings 1973-1993. Born in Tel Aviv in 1924, Pnina Salzman began playing the piano soon after she learned to walk and began performing in public at eight. Alfred Cortot, while on tour in Israel in 1932, heard her and invited her to study in Paris under his personal supervision. In Paris, Salzman studied with Magda Tagliaffero at the Conservatoire National de Musique, where she won the Prix de Piano at age fourteen. About the same time, Bronislav Huberman (founder of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra), who attended one of her concerts in Paris, announced that it was a once in a lifetime experience to meet such talent, and recommended that she be engaged as a soloist with the IPO. Pnina Salzman was invited to play three piano concertos (in one evening) with the orchestra. In Israel she was affectionately known as "The First Lady of the Piano." Salzman died on December 16, 2006 in Tel Aviv.
