Gunnar Johansen (January 21, 1906, Copenhagen – May 25, 1991, Madison, Wisconsin) was a Danish-born pianist and composer. He was one of the chief proponents of the music of Ferruccio Busoni, whose mature keyboard works he recorded in their entirety, as well as the complete keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach, constituting 43 LP records. Johansen was not only a composer, but also a scholar, educator and humanist.[1] His many humanitarian efforts included establishment of the Leonardo Academy
