"A marvel of digital dexterity, warmly romantic sentiment, and jaw-dropping bravura," said the Chicago Tribune of the two piano virtuosos’ 2002 recording of Rachmaninoff’s rarely recorded
piano pieces for 4 hands. Emanuel Ax, the leading pianist of his generation, is renowned not only for his brilliant technique, but also for his poetic temperament. Joining him is Grammy Award winning pianist Yefim Bronfman, an Avery Fisher Prize winner whose captivating solo recitals, prestigious orchestral engagements, and rapidly growing catalog of recordings draw consistent praise. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Ax and Bronfman in a duo piano recital in the near acoustical perfection of The Hall.
