Bronfman in rip-roaring slowburn concerto mode,
backed by some of Vienna's finest
I never indicated a preference for squeaky clean cd quality recordings. Although this was digitally taped recently, it is the performance behind the occasional pops and deep-in-the-audience perspective that commands involvement.
Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953)
Piano Concerto No.2 in G Minor, Op. 16 (1912-13)
1. Andantino--Allegretto--Tempo 1
2. Scherzo: Vivaca
3. Intermezzo:Allegro moderato
4. Allegro temperstoso--Meno mosso--Allegro tempestoso
Encore: Scarlatti Sonata K.11 in C minor (Thanks for the info on that, Alfonso)
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
Valery Gergiev, Conductor
Yefim Bronfman, Piano
The recording attendee (thank you!!!) notes, "Another beautiful concert with the Vienna Phil...The audience was stunned into silence at the end and
did not begin to applaud until the maestro turned around to face us."

Includes concerto (4 movements in 3 sound files, III and IV being united), Bronfman's Scarlatti encore, info, and some homebaked art.
Wow, thanks! I saw Bronfman in Santa Fe --- he's so incredible! Looking forward to this one.
yeah blue, he's something else; here the intensity feels even wilder than usual. BTW I saw the exp blog you follow, thanks for the inadvertent ref, as I think maybe my band could appeal to those folks? its The State Workers, from out of the woods of New York. Literally. http://www.thestateworkers.com
Hi,
