Max Pirani was a pianist and conductor represented in the Pristine catalogue through Gershwin: The First Recordings.

His appearance is part of a release documenting early and composer-linked performances around Gershwin’s music, alongside George Gershwin, Paul Whiteman, Oscar Levant and others.

Pirani’s presence reflects the cosmopolitan keyboard and broadcast world around popular, theatre and concert music in the first half of the twentieth century.

His page is justified by secure identity and historical context. Pirani gives the Gershwin shelf another bright keyboard footprint.
