Gary Graffman (born 1928) is an American pianist, admired for his powerful technique, clarity and commanding concerto playing. He later became an influential teacher and administrator at the Curtis Institute of Music.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears with Pierre Monteux at Tanglewood in Rachmaninov, alongside Isaac Stern in the same concert series.

Graffman’s playing belongs to the strong American virtuoso tradition, with a firm rhythmic spine and brilliant pianistic finish. His later teaching career extended that influence to another generation.

His page is justified by stature even from a compact catalogue footprint. Graffman gives the Monteux shelf a bright American keyboard edge.
