Performer
Behzod Abduraimov, Piano

Three master composers tell compelling musical stories in this recital by Behzod Abduraimov, “the most perfectly accomplished pianist of his generation” (The Independent). Chopin’s Op. 28 Preludes are concise masterpieces that convey a tremendous range of expression, while Debussy’s gentle miniatures are tender reflections on childhood. Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition brings paintings of his friend to life, including a grand opening promenade through an art gallery to the jubilant ringing of bells in the climactic “Great Gate of Kiev.”
