Leonard Pennario
Leonard Pennario (1924-2008) was an American pianist, admired for virtuoso brilliance and a large concerto repertory. He also worked extensively in chamber and studio settings.
In the Pristine catalogue he appears in the Heifetz-Piatigorsky Chamber Concerts and in Felix Slatkin’s compendium.
