朱利叶斯·卡钦（1926—1969）美国钢琴家。1926年8月15日生于新泽西州一个俄裔家庭，他的母亲来自音乐世家。卡钦幼年即显露出母系的音乐基因，于是他的外祖母就开始教他弹琴。11岁时，他在全国广播公司演奏舒曼作品崭露头角，随后费城交响乐团与纽约爱乐乐团相继邀请他举行协奏曲演奏会，使他名噪一时。1941年，他进入哈特福德学院，攻读哲学与英国文学。父母为了使他专心练琴，在学习期间不让他继续演奏。

卡钦是位学者型的钢琴家，有很深的文学修养，在二战后大批演奏家移居美国时，他却认为新大陆的文化环境不如旧大陆，因而从美国移居欧洲，这在当时是很少见的。他的演奏体现出深厚的文化底蕴。他擅长室内乐，特别是勃拉姆斯的作品。他与苏克、斯塔克组成的三重奏组被称为“专家三重奏”，录制的勃拉姆斯作品被公认为最符合作曲家的气质。1926年出生于美国新泽西的长堤，1969年在巴黎逝世。卡钦由祖母启蒙学习钢琴，后来跟随萨佩顿继续学习。卡钦十一岁在对全美的广播中首次公开演出，并与费城管弦乐团、纽约爱乐合作演出协奏曲。为了让在学校学习哲学与英国文学的卡钦专心念书，父母在1945年后才让卡钦继续公开演出，次年在巴黎于十一天内举办七场音乐会而引起轰动，欧洲各地都争相邀请卡钦前往演出，包括与苏克、史塔克在普拉德的卡萨尔斯音乐节中合作。卡钦的唱片数量极多，包括布拉姆斯所有钢琴作品，但是他在1968年因疾病被迫离开舞台，在广泛的演奏曲目里，卡钦兼长各个时期的作品，惊人的弹奏技巧与艺术天赋奠定他在二十世纪钢琴家里的地位。

Julius Katchen (August 15, 1926 – April 29, 1969) was an American concert pianist, possibly best known for his recordings of Johannes Brahms's solo piano compositions.

Katchen was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, and debuted at age 10, playing Mozart's D minor Concerto. Eugene Ormandy heard of his debut, and invited him to perform with the Philadelphia Orchestra in New York. He studied music with his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Svet, immigrants from Europe who had taught at the Moscow and Warsaw conservatories, until he was 14. He attended Haverford College, completing a four-year degree in philosophy in three years, graduating first in his class in 1946. He went to Paris and was invited to represent the United States at the first International UNESCO Festival, where he played Beethoven's Emperor Concerto with the Orchestre National de la Radiodiffusion Française. He then toured Europe in the spring of 1947, playing recitals in Rome, Venice, Naples, Paris, London and Salzburg. After this, he decided to live in Paris permanently, saying &In France piano students come together constructively, and they can even become friends. They attend one another's concerts and applaud. In the US they go to hear a colleague play, but only in the hope of seeing him break his neck.&

He married Arlette Patoux, of Le Vesinet, France in 1956.

In the late 1960s he recorded the Brahms trios for Decca with Josef Suk and János Starker.

In December 1968, Katchen played at a two-day show in London hosted by the Rolling Stones. Katchen played two works (one of them de Falla's Ritual Fire Dance). The DVD of the show is now available, called &The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.& His last public appearance was with the London Symphony Orchestra on December 12, 1968, playing Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand. He succumbed to cancer the next spring and died at the age of 42 at his home in Paris.

Katchen and his wife Arlette were avid and astute collectors of netsuke; 195 pieces from their collection were sold at auction in 2005 and 2006 for £1.2 million ($2.2 million) (Sotheby's 2005 and 2006).

A six-disc set of Johannes Brahms's Works for Solo Piano (Decca) is highly regarded and often cited as one of the best available recordings of Brahms's piano music.
