Pianist Raj Bhimani‘s concerts are “virtuosic, heartfelt and eloquent,” writes New York Times critic Michael Kimmelman. Time Out NY noted him for being a “gifted and highly expressive pianist.” Mr. Bhimani performs across North America, Europe and India, and appears regularly at New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. He has released CDs of Schubert and Thérèse Brenet on the Delatour Label, and two more of Brahms and Brenet for the Editions de la Musique Fabrique.
