Pianist Behzod Abduraimov is best known as a powerhouse soloist with the world’s great orchestras, but his recital appearances harness all the same musical force on a more intimate scale. His eclectic Cal Performances debut program foregrounds story and image, including Prokofiev’s piano adaptation of music from his ballet Romeo and Juliet, and Mussorgksy’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Florence Price’s Fantasie nègre No. 1, a rarely performed work enjoying newfound popularity due to revived interest in Price’s body of work, showcases Black American folk melodies and idioms.
