Peter Katin was an English pianist, one of the distinguished British keyboard artists of the mid-twentieth century. He was admired in Romantic and Classical repertory, especially Chopin, Rachmaninov and concerto works.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Rachmaninov, Litolff, Mendelssohn and Grieg concertos, with conductors including Adrian Boult, Colin Davis and Anthony Collins.

Katin’s playing combined clarity, lyric warmth and a strong command of concerto architecture, qualities that allowed virtuoso music to retain musical shape.

His page is essential for the British piano shelf. Katin gives the concerto strand a bright, polished keyboard voice.
