Roman Rabinovich, piano

Winner of the 2008 Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition, Israeli pianist Roman Rabinovich brings a “warm and generous tone and supple touch” (The Cleveland Plain Dealer) to his Caramoor debut. In performing Chopin’s quartet of ballades, Rabinovich tackles not only a form that Chopin invented but some of the most challenging pieces in the piano repertoire. With a trio of Haydn sonatas rounding out the program, Rabinovich champions a composer he particularly adores—“His wit, emotional depth and musical invention have been a source of inspiration for me.”
