Philadelphia Orchestra
Bronfman Plays Beethoven
Friday @ 2:00pm
Saturday @ 8:00pm
Verizon Hall
Kimmel Center
Yefim Bronfman is one of the greatest living pianists, known for his unique blend of power, virtuosity, and grace. Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4, with its delicate solo opening bars and fiery conclusion, is the ideal vehicle to showcase his talents. Shostakovich's Symphony No. 11 of 1957 was, on the surface, composed to appease Soviet bureaucrats and was a tribute to the tragic events of the failed 1905 Russian Revolution. But like Shostakovich's Fifth and Tenth symphonies, it contains deeper political commentary on Soviet rule, namely the 1956 Hungarian uprising. This program pairs the music of Beethoven and Shostakovich, demonstrating each composer's indelible impact on symphonic music over a century apart, with a similar universal message.

The record reveals itself at that remarkable vanishing point in time where all music; swinging, rocking and taboo, collide with songs of longing, solace and regret. All are made new again in a vaudeville of Krall's own imagining.
