Stanley Babin

He began a major career under the management of [[Arthur Judson]]. After winning the first Concert Artists' Guild Award, he made his orchestral debut with [[Dimitri Mitropoulos]] and the [[New York Philharmonic]] and "reaped cheers" for his "exhilarating mastery" and "distinguished artistry" (''New York Times''). Soon followed a tour with the Pittsburgh Symphony performing the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2. His solo recitals covered all the North American states as well as Canada and major European capitals. For his European orchestral debut with the [[Berlin Philharmonic]], he played Beethoven's "Emperor" Concerto." ''Die Welt'' wrote of that performance, "Stanley Babin is a wizard of technique and a magician of sound."

As composer, Babin presented the world premiere of his own Piano Concerto as soloist with the [[Israel Philharmonic]] under [[Zubin Mehta]]. Babin's continuing studies of the Northwest Semitic languages, archeology of his desert childhood, and the Hebrew religious texts and cantillations have inspired such compositions as the "Eighth Psalm", "The Eternal Branch", and "Meditations on Job". His other works include a song cycle set to poetry by [[Emily Dickinson]].
