Uzbek pianist Behzod Abduraimov received a thunderous standing ovation for his 2016 Aspen debut performance of Rachmaninoff’s 3rd Piano Concerto. Described by Le Temps as having “fingers of fire,” he returns to tackle the technical and expressive challenges of three ravishing and romantic works. Program:
WAGNER/LISZT: Isolde's Liebestod from Tristan and Isolde, LW A239
LISZT: Piano Sonata in B minor, LW A179
---
PROKOFIEV: Ten Pieces from Romeo and Juliet, op. 75
