Yefim Bronfman by Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, С (2024/2024), Symphony Center Chicago, Чикаго, Соединенные Штаты

Yefim Bronfman, a pianist who plays “with blazing power in the big Russian manner, tempered with subtlety and nuance” (Chicago Tribune), brings a program pairing Schubert’s deeply personal A Minor Sonata with two immensely expressive works. The Grand Sonata in G Major — an unusually beautiful melodic and emotional work — exemplifies Tchaikovsky’s creative genius while Beethoven’s Sonata No. 7 in D Major beguiles with its contrasting themes and enigmatic ending.
