Claude Frank
(December 24, 1925 – December 27, 2014) American pianist of German birth. His family moved to Paris in 1937, then in 1940 he escaped by way of a hideout in the Pyrenees, and Lisbon, to the USA. There, in the 1940s, he studied with Artur Schnabel, the association being interrupted by military service (he became an American citizen in 1944). He studied theory and composition with Paul Dessau and Normand Lockwood, also studying at Columbia University. He made his recital début in Times Hall, New York, in 1947, and played with the NBC SO a year later. For a while he was active as a choral conductor, but from the early 1950s his career as a pianist involved him in major festivals in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. He is much in demand as a teacher and has worked at music schools and universities throughout North America, including Bennington College (1948–55) and the Mannes College. In 1972 he was one of the first Samuel Simons Sanford Fellows at Yale University. He is highly regarded as an ensemble pianist: in 1964 he joined the newly formed Boston Symphony Chamber Players and from 1971 he appeared often with the Juilliard Quartet. He plays the two-piano repertory with Lilian Kallir, whom he married in 1959, and violin and piano sonatas with their daughter, Pamela Frank. In 1981 he was featured in a memorial concert for Schnabel at Alice Tully Hall. He is much sought after as a competition juror, including for the Leeds International Piano Competition in the UK, and has contributed to journals including Piano Quarterly and Keynote. He was presented with the Beethoven Society Award in 1979.
With a few exceptions, for example the Sonata no.2 of Sessions, Frank's repertory is conservative. His playing of Mozart, Beethoven (during the bicentenary in 1970 he recorded the 32 sonatas and played them in recital in New York), Schubert and Brahms is outstanding for its warmth, its intellectual and musical strength, and for a penetrating structural intelligence.
