 classical music - andante - emanuel ax and yefim bronfman in stravinsky's two-piano version of the rite ...
Emanuel Ax and Yefim Bronfman, on grand pianos fitted neatly together so the pianists faced each other, attacked the ferocious and shimmering score with the fury of two musical titans.
It was an impressive, virtuosic performance that capitalized on their different musical personalities — Ax the stormy poet, Bronfman the tiger — but that also showed a vision of the score's grandeur.
Bronfman was stronger in the steely melodic passages, which he had plenty of since he was playing the "primo," or top, part.

 yaledailynews.com - Piano man shines at Sprague   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Bronfman seemed to revel in his inaudibility: his encore, a tiny Scarlatti sonata, was nearly drowned out by the sound of snow piling up outside.
The core episode was an insistently morbid series of bell-tones, with the concluding echoes of the main melody appropriately haunting and otherworldly.
After this came the opening of the finale; the effect of Bronfman's driving syncopations was like being doused with cold water.

The hushed Andante produced subterranean sounds from Bronfman more like Schubert than Bartok, and the four percussionists who echoed each other's tapping sounds were only occasionally drowned out by the usual coterie of coughers.
Salonen chose movements from all three of the composer's suites for the Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet excerpts, and this proved to be the most inspired part of the announced programme.
This was one of the most vivacious and magical accounts I have heard of this movement, and it is a pity Salonen didn't choose to conduct the entire suite as part of the programme.

Bronfman's account of the First Concerto, driven but not impetuous, brash but not fulsome, challenges the classic Serkin/Columbia (which Sony ought to reissue).
In Bronfman's other new release, we are offered the third and final volume in his survey of the Prokofieff Sonatas.
Try Bronfman's close, beginning with the recapitulation of the main theme (track 5; 5:30), and notice how he disrobes the gossamer-layered textures with a cleverly-nuanced light touch that captivates the ear while instructing the mind.

Bronfman has the chops to meet the composer’s virtuoso demands, as he demonstrates during the furious Presto in the middle of No. 2.
Neither of the above seems to be available in the US, however, so Bronfman and Salonen can stand as a very good recommendation among modern recordings.
But listen to the aforementioned Anda/Fricsay versions and you’ll be amazed at the high interpretive standards that were set for these works a mere 15 years after the composer’s death.
