Roman Rabinovich, piano

The eloquent pianist Roman Rabinovich has been highly lauded by The New York Times, BBC Music Magazine, San Francisco Classical Voice, and others. Born in Tashkent, he immigrated to Israel with his family in 1994, beginning his studies there with Irena Vishnevitsky and Arie Vardi; he went on to graduate from the Curtis Institute of Music as a student of Seymour Lipkin, and earned his Master’s Degree at the Juilliard School where he studied with Robert McDonald. Dubbed “a true polymath, in the Renaissance sense of the word” (Seen & Heard International, 2016), Rabinovich is also a composer and visual artist. He has earned particular critical praise for his explorations of the piano music of Haydn. At the 2018 Bath Festival, he presented a 10-recital 42-sonata series, earning praise in The Sunday Times. 2018 also marked the start of Rabinovich’s recording project of the complete sonatas on First Hand Records, with the first volume released in November of that year to critical acclaim and the second volume to be released in 2020.
