Behzod Abduraimov in recital: Franck, Prokofiev, Mussorgsky

The winner of the 2009 London International Piano Competition, Uzbek virtuoso Behzod Abduraimov has been described as "the most perfectly accomplished pianist of his generation" (The Independent). He lights up the 2024 Verbier Festival in this exquisite and carefully chosen solo recital, featuring gorgeous melodies from Prokoviev's Romeo and Juliet as well as Franck's Prelude, Fugue, and Variation — dedicated to, and suggestive of, Camille Saint Saëns. Abduraimov's thrilling capstone is Mussorgsky's timeless Pictures at an Exhibition, culminating in a grandly stirring musical vision of the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
