Behzod Abduraimov's interpretations combine great musical depth with phenomenal technique: "He has a magical touch", wrote The Times. This recital is yet another impressive proof of his versatile skills. It begins with variations by Carl Czerny, a student of Beethoven and teacher of Liszt. This is followed by the famous Après une lecture de Dante - whose title is drawn from a poem by Victor Hugo - representing Liszt's Années de pèlerinage: Italie (1846-1849). Another era, another poetic inspiration (Verlaine): the Suite bergamasque, an allusion to the festivals of the Lombardian commedia dell'arte, which Debussy composed between 1890 and 1905. It continues with another celebration, this time in Saint Petersburg, with "the crowd, the booths and the small traditional theater, the figure of the magician and the conjurer ... and the animation of the dolls - Petrouchka, his rival and the ballerina", as Stravinsky himself noted. In 1921 he made a piano transcription of his ballet Petrouchka, which he had written ten years earlier. Brahms closes this hellish program with a peaceful intermezzo from the Piano Pieces op. 119.
