Musician of Classical
Spanning a career of more than 40 years in the concert industry, pianist Dickran Atamian introduced audiences to a brand of pianism combining brazened individualism with seraphic poetry. As first-prize winner in the 50th Naumberg Competition in New York in 1975, Atamian was not afraid to embrace new ideas or the controversies surrounding new forms of expression. He saw art as revolution and the artist as spokesperson for change. His RCA recording of the solo piano transcription of Stravinsky's seminal The Rite of Spring became a landmark recording ushering in the new digital age.
