Even in an overwhelmingly impressive field of great pianists, Behzod Abduraimov earns such uncommonly high praise as “the most perfectly accomplished pianist of his generation” (The Independent). His concerts at Carnegie Hall have earned acclaim bordering on disbelief: “Wow. Just Wow.,” read the headline of The New Criterion’s review of his 2019 recital. Hear him in a varied program of Franck, Ravel, Price, and Prokofiev, plus the Carnegie Hall premiere of a late-20th-century piece by Dilorom Saidaminova.
