Pianist Frank Glazer, 98, plays piano recital of Haydn, Liszt, Barber

Pianists can easily keep playing into their 90’s and still have something to say. Here is Frank Glazer, a student of Schnabel, which puts him in my lineage from Leschetizky, giving a recital at age 98. He played Nov. 6 in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
“Glazer, 98, is a pianist, composer and music professor, who began playing piano when he was 3 years old and now has spent almost 60 years as a professional performer”. You can read the full article on MichiganLive here.
A review of an August concert in Wisconsin is here. In other words, he plays concerts all the time.

How inspiring! It reminds me of my great aunt who was running rings around all of us young folks at the age of 93. She happened to be a piano (and organ) player. You may be on to something! Thanks for the post.

Hi Meg– Truly astonishing. What an inspiration. I enjoyed his attitude of mindfulness and his thoughts of learning to hear at his age. He expresses himself so beautifully. I enjoyed the “pace” of his playing (for lack of a better word) and how this pace affects the sound of the energy of the music.
Thanks for sharing.
