Pnina Salzman has long been considered the First
Lady of the piano in Israel. Born in Tel Aviv in 1924, she began
playing the piano soon after she learned to walk and began performing
in public at eight. Alfred Cortot, while on tour in Israel in
1932, heard her and invited her to study in Paris under his personal
supervision. In Paris, Pnina Salzman studied with Magda Tagliaffero
at the Conservatoire National de Musique, where she won the Prix
de Piano at age 14. About the same time, Bronislav Huberman (The
famous violonist, founder of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra),
who attended one of her concerts in Paris, announced that it was
a once in a lifetime experience to meet such talent, and recommended
that she be engaged as a soloist with the IPO. Pnina Salzman was
invited to play three piano concertos (in one evening) with the
orchestra. This marked the beginning of a long association with
the IPO. Besides her many performances with them in Israel, she
was chosen to be a featured soloist in two of their world tours,
conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini and by Josef Krips. Pnina Salzman
has subsequently toured all five continents several times , playing
with major orchestras under such conductors as Georg Solti, Carlo
Maria Giulini, Erich Leinsdorf, Antal Dorati, Paul Paray, Malcolm
Sargent, Igor Markevitch, Charles Munch, Jascha Horenstein, Zubin
Mehta, Josef Krips, Colin Davis, Walter Susskind, Andrew Davis,
Neville Marriner, Hans Vonk; Anatole Fistoulari, Sergiu Comissiona,
Lawrence Foster, Michael Taube, George Singer , Gary Bertini,
David Shallon, Moshe Atzmon, Mendi Rodan, Paul Ben-Haim and Noam
Sheriff . In 1963 she was the first Israeli invited to play in
the USSR and in 1994, the first Israeli pianist invited to play
in China. Pnina Salzman is an enthusiastic chamber music performer,
member of the Israel Piano Quartet, and a regular guest with such
distinguished chamber groups as the Amadeus String Quartet. She
is a Professor and the head of the piano department at Tel Aviv
University and has served on the Jury of such prestigious International
Piano Competitions as the Arthur Rubinstein Competition, Vladimir
Horowitz Competition, as well as the Dublin, Iturbi/ Valencia,
Munich, Athens, Sydney, and Seoul Competitions.
Pnina Salzman died on December 16. 2006 in Tel Aviv

Yona Ettlinger (1924-1981) settled in Israel at a young age. Though piano
was his first love, he took up the clarinet at 17. His principal
teacher was Louis Cahuzac, with whom he developed his remarkably
pure tone, wholly devoid of vibrato. He also studied composition
with Paul Ben-Haim and Nadia Boulanger. Principal clarinetist
with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra from 1947 to 1964, he took
conducting engagements with such ensembles as the Israel Chamber
Orchestra and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, and also performed
widely and for many years with the Tel Aviv Quartet and in duo
with Pnina Salzman. Appointed professor at the Guildhall School
of Music in 1973, he achieved a great reputation as teacher of
the clarinet. Noted for his perfectionism--he recorded and analyzed
nearly every performance--Yona Ettlinger is recognized by his
peers as one of the preeminent clarinetists of the twentieth century.
Uzi Wiesel, a native Israeli, graduated with honours from
Juilliard in 1954 and subsequently studied with Pablo Casals in
Prades. Winner of several international competitions, including
the Piatagorsky Competition (1953), the Moscow International Concours
(1957), and the Casals International Concours (1961), he has performed
as soloist with many prominent orchestras, and given many recitals
highlighting his vast repertoire and sensuous singing tone.
A full professor at the Tel Aviv Academy of Music for over thirty
years, his students have achieved renown all over the world. Currently,
Mr. Wiezel gives master classes in Europe and the US and serves
on juries of international competitions.
