Victor Rosenbaum
|
Victor Rosenbaum has performed widely as soloist and chamber music performer in
the United States, Europe, Asia, Israel, and Russia in such prestigious halls as
Tully Hall in New York and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia. Described by
the Boston Globe as “one of those artists who make up for all the drudgery the habitual
concertgoer endures in the hopes of finding the real, right thing,” he has collaborated
with such artists as Leonard Rose, Paul Katz, Arnold Steinhardt, Robert Mann, Joseph
Silverstein, Malcolm Lowe, and the Brentano and Cleveland String Quartets, among
others.
Festival appearances have included Tanglewood, the Rockport Chamber Music
Festival, Kfar Blum and Tel Hai (in Israel), Yellow Barn, Kneisel Hall (Blue Hill),
Musicorda, Masters de Pontlevoy (France), the Heifetz Institute, and the International
Keyboard Institute and Festival in New York. Recent seasons have brought him to
Chicago, Minneapolis, Tokyo, St. Petersburg (Russia), Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem for
recitals.

A renowned teacher, Rosenbaum has given master classes at London’s Royal Academy
of Music, Royal College of Music and the Guildhall School, the conservatories of
St. Petersburg and Moscow, and such other institutions as the Menuhin School, the
Toho School in Tokyo and the Jerusalem Music Center. He was Visiting Professor of
Piano at the Eastman School, a guest teacher at Juilliard, and gives lectures, workshops,
and master classes for teachers’ groups and schools both in the U. S. and abroad.
He is on the faculty of the Mannes College of Music, the New England Conservatory,
where he formerly chaired the piano department, and the Longy School of Music, where
he served as Director and President from 1985 to 2001.
A student of Elizabeth Brock and Martin Marks in his hometown of Indianapolis, Rosenbaum
later studied with Rosina Lhevinne and Leonard Shure. His highly praised recording
of Schubert, which Classical disCDigest described as “a powerful and poignant record
of human experience,” is on Bridge Records. The release of the last three Beethoven
sonatas on the same label was named by American Record Guide critic Alan Becker
as one of the top ten classical recordings of 2005 and Susan Kagan of Fanfare wrote
of that disc: “Victor Rosenbaum’s rewarding interpretation can sit proudly among
the best.” A recent CD on the Fleur de Son label features music of Schubert and
a Mozart disc on the same label is forthcoming.
