Frank Pelleg, a pianist, harpsichordist, composer, musicologist, conductor, philosopher and a teacher - was clearly one of the most illustrious musicians of the 20th century. In addition to his expertise in the performance of Bach and the Baroque era, he was equally a brilliant performer of the classical period and a champion of new music, particularly of Israeli composers. He was a remarkable, delightful and a charismatic person, an original with a great sense of humor, superb communication ability and had an amazing memory (he could perform most of Mozart’s piano concertos on a moment’s notice from memory). Always active with relentless enthusiasm, his untimely death at the age of 57 was a sad event to all who knew him and the entire musical world.
