Rachmaninoff > Piano Concerto 3 (CD)
Behzod Abduraimov, piano
Valery Gergiev, conductor
Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest
Recorded live at Concertgebouw Amsterdam on 4 & 5 October 2017
Serge Rachmaninoff himself played his Third Piano Concerto in 1911 in the Netherlands with the Concertgebouworkest and Willem Mengelberg. He noted at the time: "The musicians thought it was beautiful, but the audience and the critics did not." In the end, pianist Vladimir Horowitz was able to inspire the audience for the work, and today 'Rach 3' is considered to be one of the warhorses in the repertoire. With this notoriously difficult concerto the young Uzbek pianist Behzod Abduraimov made his dazzling Concertgebouworkest debut under the direction of Valery Gergiev.
