One of the most revered pianists of the past century, Leon Fleisher debuted with the New York Philharmonic in 1944 and quickly established himself as one of the world's premier artists. Performing with every major orchestra and conductor, he made numerous touchstone recordings with George Szell and The Cleveland Orchestra.
His early recordings on Sony Masterworks are regarded as some of the greatest in classical music – among them the complete Beethoven piano concertos, which were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008. His new recording deal with Sony Masterworks saw the release of a trio of Mozart concertos in 2009. For more information, please visit www.carolinaperformingarts.org or call 919-843-3333.
