A CMM favorite returns! Behzod Abduraimov, hailed for his “magic touch” and phenomenal technique, tackles two of the most formidable works in the piano repertoire: Liszt’s demonic “Après une Lecture du Dante” and Stravinsky’s explosive “Three Movements from Petrushka.” His program’s emotional landscape expands with Brahms’ introspective “Seven Fantasias,” Czerny’s sparkling “Variations,” and Debussy’s impressionistic “Suite Bergamasque.” From thunderous power to breathtaking delicacy, Abduraimov’s extraordinary range reveals why he’s considered one of the greatest pianists of his generation. You will be astonished and moved by this display of pianistic brilliance.
