Barbara Nissman

Romantic Pianism

Described as a pianist of a bygone era, Barbara Nissman continues the grand bravura tradition of romantic pianism, making it relevant to our century. Her recordings of twentieth-century composers, Prokofiev, Ginastera and Bartók are considered definitive, and her ongoing series for the Pierian label of the nineteenth-century composers Liszt, Chopin, Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, and also Rachmaninoff, has garnered critical praise. "One of the last pianists in the grand Romantic tradition of Liszt, Rachmaninoff, and Rubinstein," Barbara Nissman connects the souls of the composers of the past to the lives of today's listener.

Barbara Nissman's international career was personally launched by Eugene Ormandy who had previously engaged her as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra. She has performed with the leading orchestras of Europe and America including the London Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic, the BBC Symphony, the Rotterdam Philharmonic and the Munich Philharmonic; in the US she has appeared with the New York Philharmonic, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the St. Louis Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony, the National Symphony and the Cleveland Orchestra among others. She has worked with some of the major conductors of our time including Eugene Ormandy, Riccardo Muti, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski and Leonard Slatkin.
