Neiman is hailed as one of the premiere pianists of his generation, praised for possessing a truly rare blend of power, bravura, imagination, sensitivity, and technical precision. With an established international career and an encyclopedic repertoire that spans over 50 concertos, Neiman has performed as soloist with the symphony orchestras of Belgrade, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Minnesota, Saint Louis, San Francisco, Umbria, and Utah, as well as with the New York Chamber Symphony and the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D.C.

He has collaborated with many of the world's celebrated conductors, including Jiri Belohlavek, Giancarlo Guerrero, Theodor Gushlbauer, Carlos Kalmer, Uros Lajovic, Yoël Levi, Andrew Litton, Rossen Milanov, Heichiro Ohyama, Peter Oundjian, Leonard Slatkin, and Emmanuel Villaume.

In 2011, Neiman is planning a worldwide tour celebrating the Franz Liszt bi-centennial by lecturing about and performing the complete cycle of Transcendental Etudes. The tour will include a performance at the Fazioli Concert Series in Sacile, Italy, as well as numerous stops in major halls and universities throughout the United States.

Neiman's latest CD is a recording of solo piano works by Anton Arensky for Naxos, released in July. Naxos also recently released his world premiere performance of Jennifer Higdon's Piano Trio, live from the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival.
