Behzod Abduraimov to Give Stern Recital Hall Debut
by BWW News Desk - November 17, 2016
Young Uzbekistani pianist Behzod Abduraimov returns to Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium on November 17, 2016. The accomplished musician has already earned great recognition and critical acclaim for his exceptional caliber of pianistic ability, and he is quickly establishing himself among the frontrunners of the current generation's outstanding pianists. After making his New York recital debut in conjunction with his Carnegie debut in Weill Recital Hall in 2015 Mr. Abduraimov was praised by The New York Times: "This was playing of assurance and ideas: a tense Chopin, a Schubert slipping between stability and dissolution and 'Gaspard' as a surreal flood of colors, from the glassy opening of 'Ondine' to the trills in 'Scarbo.' Mr. Abduraimov came out with something to prove, and in the first Ballade the extremes - of tempo, volume and phrasing - stood out in stark, self-conscious relief, with an effect like that of looking at a landscape through the glare of the sun...Mr. Abduraimov will, I expect, have a long and distinguished career to show us."
