Julius Katchen

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

1926-1969
Memories of a great pianist and friend uy WILLIAM MANN
(with gramophone records)
Mr Katchen is a pianist of considerable gifts. He has a crisp and assured finger technique and a keen sense of rhythm, and can draw on powerful muscular resources as well as a beautifully poetic lyricism in soft passages.
(William Mann on Katchen's British debut, 27 April 1949)
(Another chance to hear the programme first broadcast on 4 July. A tribute to another great musician -Solomon, 'The Ideal Pianist ': Thurs, 9.5 am)
