Overview

Moments of the most intense intimacy overlapwith jaw-dropping displays of virtuosity in BehzodAbduraimov’s performances.

The young Uzbekpianist charts the epic emotional landscapes ofChopin’s Four Ballades, among the mosttechnically demanding works in the keyboardrepertoire. His lunchtime recital closes withanother virtuosic challenge, Brahms’s fiendishlydifficult Paganini Variations.
