Martin Berkofsky (piano)About
Martin Berkofsky was born in 1943 in Washington, D.C. but is of Belarussian ancestry. He is known primarily for his interpretations of the music of Franz Liszt and Alan Hovhaness, and has performed extensively throughout Europe, as well as in Turkey and Armenia. In 1971 he met the composer Alan Hovhaness when he performed one of the composer's works, and many Hovhaness performances followed. Hovhaness gave many newly-composed and unrecorded scores to Berkofsky, who over the next decades recorded a number of discs of his music.
As a performer, Martin Berkofsky feels particularly at ease with the poetic world of Liszt. For him, playing Liszt is almost an experience of mystic contemplation. The numerous, often radical changes that he makes to the original text should therefore be seen in this light, since what counts most for him is not the notes in themselves, but the space that lies between them.
