Artist Biography
Barbara Nissman is best known for her performances of Prokofiev and Ginastera. She has written about Prokofiev and performed complete cycles of the sonatas. Nissman has also lavished attention on Ginastera, who dedicated his final work, the Third Piano Sonata, to her. She has concertized throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and New Zealand, appearing as soloist with major orchestras of the U.S., and with many leading European orchestras. Her repertoire is extensive and most of her numerous recordings have been reissued on her own label, Three Oranges Recordings. Nissman's recordings include several firsts: Ginastera's Concierto Argentino, the original score of his Piano Concerto No. 2, and Bartók's unpublished 1898 Piano Sonata. Nissman's book Bartók and the Piano: A Performer's View, was published in 2002. ~ Rovi Staff
