Yefim Bronfman piano
Thursday, March 21, 6:30PM, Harris Concert Hall
Internationally recognized as one of today’s most acclaimed and admired pianists, what better way to bring the Winter Music Recital Series to a close than with the beloved longtime Aspen soloist, Yefim Bronfman? Regularly sought out by festivals, orchestras, and conductors alike, Bronfman will bring his commanding technique, power, and lyrical gifts to a program of Schubert, Schumann, and Chopin.
Published eleven years after his death, Schubert’s Piano Sonata in A minor, D. 784, is considered to be one the composer’s major works for the piano. Schumann’s Faschingsschwank aus Wien, translated as “Carnival Jest from Vienna,” is an unusual five-movement work for piano that pays tribute to the revelry of music, drama, masquerade, and dance. Concluding the program is Chopin’s Piano Sonata No. 3 in B minor—the last of the composer’s piano sonatas and largely considered his most technically challenging work.
Close out the 2024 Winter Music season with this virtuosic, thrilling evening of music played by a true titan of the piano!
