RCO: Herreweghe Conducts Beethoven & Brahms featuring Yefim Bronfman
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
•
1h 26m
With Beethoven and Brahms, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra turns to its forte: to perform the best works from the Classical and Romantic periods. Philippe Herreweghe joins forces here with star pianist Yefim Bronfman who is known to excel in tumultuous works. Remarkably, Bronfman now attends to the most tender of piano concertos that Beethoven composed. The shining performance of Bronfman's “impressive virtuoso” is matched by the orchestra, who “warms your soul with a velvety whirring strings sound and warm-sounding wind instruments.” (NRC)
