[Instead of simply listing the people he has worked with, it would be better to describe his career in narrative paragraphs, explaining what is most important about his work].

In programs like Piano Music of the 21st Century, at the Mannes College of Music, Gottlieb introduced works written for him by younger musicians, such as Bruno Mantovani.

He has produced broadcasts for France-Musique and France-Culture on American music. He gives lectures, lecture-concerts and master classes on twentieth- and twenty-first-century music, at the Paris Conservatory, where Music School of Indiana University in Bloomington, Juilliard School, International Keyboard Institute and Festival in New York, Ecole Normale and Schola Cantorum in Paris, and American Conservatory in Fontainebleau.

He recorded film soundtracks for "La Discrète" by Christian Vincent and "Sonate" by George Allez. He has recorded for Philips, RCA, CRI, Harmonia Mundi, Auvidis, Pianovox-Sony, Ogam, Erato, Milan, Universal, Salabert-Actuels, Opus111, Aeon and Signature (Radio-France). [Give dates and more information about these recordings. Were there reviews of them?]

He is listed in "The World Who's Who of Musicians", "Who's Who in American Music", "American Keyboard Artists" and "Outstanding Young Men of America". [It is better not to refer to the subject's own website too much. Instead, give cites to the dates of, and page numbers in, these works where he is listed, or give the url where his name is shown. See WP:CITE ]

Gordon's identical twin brother is percussionist Gordon Gottlieb. They sometimes perform together.

[See if you can find reviews that describe his performances and what is unusual about them. Also, if there are bad as well as good reviews, give a balanced treatment of the reviews. Good luck! ] -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:20, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
