Praised by The New York Times for his ‘uncommon sensitivity and feeling’, the eloquent pianist Roman Rabinovich is renowned for his multifaceted musical artistry, earning acclaim as a soloist, curator, and collaborator.

Dubbed ‘a true polymath, in the Renaissance sense of the word’ (Seen & Heard International, 2016), Rabinovich’s artistic reach extends beyond the piano. He is a composer and visual artist with a diverse repertoire spanning six centuries. He has won critical acclaim for interpretations of the music of Joseph Haydn, encompassing Haydn’s complete keyboard sonatas at the Lammermuir and Bath Festivals in UK, and curated a three-concert Haydn Day at Wigmore Hall. The first two volumes of his complete Haydn Cycle on First Hand Records have been released to critical acclaim.
Having made his Israel Philharmonic debut under Zubin Mehta at the age of 10, Rabinovich was among the first pianists championed by Sir András Schiff in his series ‘Building Bridges’.
