Bronfman sculpts the Brahms concerto with great bravura and a tone full of nuances, coupled with a depth of
expression and seemingly effortless virtuosity. In the Saint-Saëns, and more especially in the 2nd movement, he
brings out all the gentleness and elegance associated with the French.
Yefim Bronfman is, without doubt, one of the greatest pianists alive today. He has also been a regular - and very
welcome - guest with the IPO for over three decades. The deep friendship between Bronfman, Maestro Mehta and
the IPO makes itself felt in these wonderful performances captured in concert - the Saint-Saëns from 1991 and the
Brahms from 2009.
