First Prize winner of the William Kapell International Piano Competition, Enrique Graf has played recitals, chamber music and has been soloist with orchestras all over the world, performing over 30 different concertos.

A new CD by pianist Enrique Graf on Cougar Classics has been released May 2008. It includes a rare recording of the Aria Variata Alla Maniera Italiana, one of two sets of variations written by Bach, the other being the often recorded and performed Goldberg Variations. The other works are Felix Mendelssohn's masterpiece, Variations Serieuses Op. 54 and a monumental reading of Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky.

Read what some critics have been exclaiming about the recent recording:

"He performs [Bach and Mendelssohn] with technical ease and clarity of structure that give an overriding connectivity in the musical material throughout the variations."

"Mr. Graf plays Bach and Mendelssohn with beautiful tone and much elegance. Really, it is hard to imagine either better played. I wanted to play the Bach over and over. ...[In Mussorgsky] he is very musical and never distorts anything."

"After listening to his Pictures at an Exhibition several times now, I'm so impressed with the care that he took in preparing so that the performance here could sound so spontaneous. The gait, the measured steps that he has to his stroll through the gallery at the beginning, and then when the motif returns it's so obviously informed by the image that the viewer has just taken in. By the time you get to the Great Gate at Kiev, you know that the viewer has left a changed person."
