Following critical and audience acclaim for his recent concerts in China with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Behzod Abduraimov returns to Asia to make his debut with the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Japan.

Abduraimov performs Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.3 on 13 & 14 June in concerts conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy.

The dates co-incide with the release in Japan of Abduraimov’s latest Decca recording featuring Tchaikovsky’s First and Prokofiev’s Third concertos. The disc, with the RAI Orchestra Turin conducted by Juraj Valcuha, will be released worldwide in September.
