The Incredible Simone Dinnerstein Debuts with PCMS

American pianist Simone Dinnerstein has quickly gained international attention as a commanding and charismatic artist and one of the most compelling pianists performing today. Since being featured by The New York Times as an artist "poised for a breakthrough", Dinnerstein has performed to a sold-out audience at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, debuted with the American Symphony Orchestra under Leon Botstein and signed a recording contract with Telarc International, which released her much-anticipated recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations worldwide in August 2007. The CD earned the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Classical Chart in its first week of sales and has remained highly ranked since. Other recent highlights include debut recitals at the Copenhagen Music Festival, London's Wigmore Hall and Berlin's Philharmonie.
