Behzod Abduraimov: Stravinsky’s Petrushka and Romantic Masters

On 27 February at Queen Elizabeth Hall, pianist Behzod Abduraimov presents an evening of virtuosity and colour, from the intimate charm of Brahms’ last piano pieces and Czerny’s Variations on a Theme by Rode to Liszt’s Après une lecture de Dante, Debussy’s Suite bergamasque, and Stravinsky’s Three Movements from Petrushka arranged for piano.

The recital takes the listener on a journey from Brahms’ introspective humor and rugged lyricism, through Liszt and Debussy’s dramatic and poetic contrasts, to the fairground brilliance of Stravinsky, alive with folk rhythms and vivid characters. Critics praise Abduraimov’s prodigious technique and rhapsodic flair, revealing the piano’s full expressive potential.
