The Art of Howard Karp
Concert Recordings 1964–2000

"Howard Karp's glorious pianism, his crystalline sound, the thrilling risk-taking and dare-devil virtuosity, and the depth of his interpretations all shine through vividly in these recordings. We pay homage to Howard Karp as a performer, teacher, colleague, mentor, and friend."
—Bill Lutes, former classical music host for Wisconsin Public Radio
