In more than 30 years of performing, Murray Perahia has become one of the
most cherished pianists of our time. In February he won his third Grammy Award
for his recording of the complete Etudes of Chopin. His special association with
the music of Bach is evident in the recently released acclaimed recordings of
Bach Keyboard Concertos. Perahia’s recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations
received two Grammy nominations and won the 2001 Gramophone Award for Best
Instrumental Recording of the Year. The Goldberg Variations was on the Top 10
Billboard Classical Chart for over 15 weeks and has sold over 200,000 albums
worldwide.
