The Music and Artistry of Jeffrey Biegel
"Jeffrey Biegel, who played some fantastic Liszt the other night at the St Regis during the dinner in my honor, ... is a splendid musician and a brilliant performer. I think you will be proud to present him to the public."
Leonard Bernstein
"It is a great honor for me to have my compositions performed by one of the world's greatest and most talented pianists. Jeffrey Biegel's style and ability to understand the classical world and the pop world without compromise to either is perhaps his greatest gift. I don't like to listen to my own pieces at all but, this is one time where I will definitely make an exception. Thank you Jeffrey for all the wonderful music and performances you have given to all of us."
David Foster
