Yefim Bronfman
Apr 14, 2024 — 3:00 PM
Overview
Pianist Yefim Bronfman plays “with blazing power in the big Russian manner, tempered with subtlety and nuance” (Chicago Tribune). He delivers a captivating program, pairing Schubert’s deeply personal A Minor Sonata with Beethoven’s exuberant Sonata No. 7 in D Major — a testament to his enduring legacy as one of the greatest composers in musical history. Schumann’s Arabeske and Carnival Scenes from Vienna offer contrasting perspectives, complemented by the contemporary brilliance of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Sisar.
