Bronfman, Symphony Pulsated With Energy How pianist yefim bronfman had any energy left after his punishing performanceof Prokofiev s fiendishly difficult Piano Concerto No. http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/05/07/loc_cso07rev.html
Extractions: How pianist Yefim Bronfman had any energy left after his punishing performance of Prokofiev's fiendishly difficult Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra Thursday night is a mystery. But after his astounding tour de force, he followed it up with another: the pummeling final movement of Prokofiev's Sonata No. 7 The symphony's season finale under Paavo Jarvi was an evening in which each moment seemed more electric than the last and which had the audience on its feet, cheering, three times. From the orchestra's first performance of Lutoslawski's Symphonic Variations , which opened the evening, to a rewarding performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 , which concluded it, the musicians were energized and inspired. Prokofiev's Concerto No. 2 in G Minor is, in Bronfman's own words, "a symphony for the piano." A true endurance test, its pounding rhythms and staggering technical demands are relentless - yet there are also moments of melting lyricism. A bear of a man, Bronfman, 46, met the challenges with both power and finesse. His softer phrases had beautiful tone and were intensely romantic. He controlled the mounting crescendos with mesmerizing power, navigating fistfuls of chords, diabolical runs and leaps as if he had 20 fingers.

Extractions: Piano greats Emanuel Ax and Yefim Bronfman come together for the first time to perform Sergei Rachmaninoff piano pieces for 4 hands. These rarely recorded works of Rachmaninoff showcase the pianists' different approach and style. Acclaimed for his poetic lyricism and brilliant technique, Ax lets the music slide out from under his fingers. Bronfman's dynamic interpretation brings tension and character to every phrase. Together these two extraordinary musicians create a delightful and emotionally charged listening experience.
Extractions: Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring (1910-13, rev. 1947) In the final concerts of the inaugural season at Walt Disney Concert Hall, Esa-Pekka Salonen gave flight to a new work, Wing on Wing , written to take advantage of the space, and I found it quite effective. In addition to its reference to Frank Gehrys building and its bird-like contours, the title is a nautical term, describing the two sails of a boat when they are opened to produce the maximum amount of area to catch the wind. Certainly Salonen is thinking expansively here not surprising at all given the enormous inspiration of Gehrys masterpiece and deploys a large orchestra augmented by two soprano soloists and electronics, using huge washes of sound. Perhaps because I had recently heard Sibelius Seventh Symphony

Extractions: Yefim Bronfman Yefim Bronfman is widely regarded as one of today's most talented virtuoso pianists. His commanding technique and exceptional lyrical gifts have won him critical acclaim and enthusiastic audiences worldwide for his prestigious orchestral engagements, solo recitals and recordings. Solo recitals in the leading halls of North America, Europe and the Far East include acclaimed debuts at Carnegie Hall (1989) and Avery Fisher Hall (1993). A series of joint recitals with Isaac Stern in 1991 marked Bronfman's first public performances in Russia since his emigration to Israel at age 15. That same year he was awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Prize. Bronfman is an exclusive Sony Classical artist whose recordings garner widespread praise. His CD of the three Bartok Piano Concertos, with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, won a 1997 Grammy Award and his recordings of the complete Prokofiev Piano Sonatas and all five Prokofiev Piano Concertos were nominated for Grammy and Gramophone awards. Recordings with Isaac Stern include the Brahms Violin Sonatas, a cycle of Mozart Sonatas for Violin and Piano, and the Bartok Violin Sonatas. Bronfman has made two duo-piano recordings with Emanual Ax, and a recital album of the Tchaikovsky and Arensky Piano Trios with Cho-Liang Lin and Gary Hoffman.
