Leonard Bernstein said of pianist Jeffrey Biegel: "He plays fantastic Liszt. He is a splendid musician and a brilliant performer." These comments helped launch his career. He was chosen as the first pianist to record for the Steinway & Sons recording label. His 'Bach On a Steinway' debuted #3 on the Classical Billboard charts, followed by 'A Steinway Christmas Album' reaching the #1 spot on the Billboard chart. Jeffrey has commissioned more than 25 works for piano and orchestra by living composers, including classical composers like Kenneth Fuchs. Mr. Biegel has also featured works including Keith Emerson's "Concerto no. 1" and Peter Tork's (of Monkee's Fame) "Moderato ma non troppo."

Mr. Biegel appeared on ABC-TV's Good Morning America, where he performed the missing sections of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. That was followed by a performance with the American Symphony Orchestra in New York's Avery Fisher Hall, which among other things, featured the World Premiere of Mr. Biegel's transcription of Mily Balakirev's 'Islamey Fantasy' for piano and orchestra. Jeffrey has performed with orchestras across the US including Philadelphia, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Buffalo and Cincinnati as well as around the world, including Tokyo, Oslo, Bergen, London, Singapore, Denmark, Ulster, Monte Carlo, Istanbul, Palermo, France and more.
