About
Two of the most popular of all Russian piano concertos – Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3 and Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 – paired on a single CD by the exciting young Uzbekistani pianist Behzod Abduraimov. For today’s generation Abduraimov’s thunderously resplendent performance sets a new benchmark, accompanied with brilliance and elegance by the Slovakian conductor Juarj Valcuha – principal conductor of the RAI Turin orchestra.

Awards and reviews
November 2014
This is a reading that does not set out to astonish or bludgeon but is more in keeping with the friendly, smiling portraits of the young soloist on the disc's booklet. Though there is no lack of spirit in this acutely observed interpretation...If he plays down the heroics, there is much to admire in this well-integrated performance and his intimate rapport with the orchestra.
5th September 2014
The Uzbek pianist is the master of all he surveys. He tackles Tchaikovsky with aplomb and plays with grandeur and depth.
