Many experts believe André Watts was one of the greatest classical pianist of all time. Over the six decades of his career, this celebrated African-American musician performed as soloist with every major orchestra in the United States, and most of the world's finest orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, the National Symphony Orchestra, and the London Symphony Orchestra.
Watts recorded a variety of repertoire, concentrating on Romantic era composers such as Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt, but also including George Gershwin.
In 1973 at the age of 26, Yale University gave Watts his first honorary doctorate, and many more awards would follow.
At the age of sixteen, Watts made his nationwide debut on CBS-TV's, Young People's Concert series, and was introduced by legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein.
You will hear Andre Watts talk about his remarkable life, in an extensive interview with David Dubal at WNCN Radio in New York City in October of 1983.
