kicking ass and taking names

If you don’t have your ticket to see Yefim Bronfman play the Bartók Second Piano Concerto this weekend (Sat, Sun, Mon), get it now – Fima is kicking some serious ass. He has one of the most clear and precise touches of any pianist, but couples it with a tremendous dynamic range and loads of color. All of which are demanded by the Bartók. Also kicking some major tail – the OSO brass section gets lots to do in the Bartók as well (not to mention the Ives), and they sound like they’re having a great time.
