Extractions: CLASSICAL MUSIC A Towering Pianist BY Rick Walters Pianist Yefim Bronfman is the most technically brilliant artist we've heard in this city in some time. Considering the soloist-rich last couple of seasons, that's saying a lot. His performance with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra of the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1 last weekend was nothing less than stunning. It's not the first concerto that comes to mind when you think of Beethoven's works for piano and orchestra. Bronfman is the kind of towering musical presence who, for the moment, made it sound like the most sparkling piece of music ever written. The long cadenza in the first movement was so thrilling that had it been a Baptist service, the audience would have been shouting "Amen." Bronfman's musical virtues are many: crystalline rolled chords, ornaments so clean they slice the air, the rhythmic buzz of parallel thirds and sixths, the singing tone of a slowly evolving melody.

Extractions: Chamber Music in Napa Valley The Takacs Quartet October 15, 2002 Originally Hungarian, now half Hungarian and half English, the Takacs Quartet in their 22nd year are clearly established through their recordings and electrifying performances as one of the top quartets in the world today. The Times of London described them as "an extraordinary tour de force of collaborative virtuosity." Their performance here of the Schubert G major Quartet was one of the greatest moments in our history. This year by our special request they will play Schubert's other late masterpiece, the Quintet, with the exceptional cellist, Natasha Brofsky, who appeared here last year with her Peabody Trio. The first half of their program for us will be Mozart KV 598 and the Ravel Quartet. Pinchas Zukerman and Marc Neikrug October 16, 2002 The Artemis Quartet October 29, 2002 The Artemis Quartet formed at the Musikhochschule in Luebeck, Germany, 12 years ago, and now resides in Berlin. In 1995 the young ensemble began a winning streak across the gamut of string quartet competitions and is now widely regarded as the premier quartet of the new generation of Europe. The Washington Post wrote that their performance "breathed fire and sweat," and the Frankfurter Allgemeine said, "This was a performance of the most incredible intensity of communication from first to last." When we have asked other ensembles over the past few years "Who is hot?" the Artemis has been the answer. They will perform Mozart KV 387, Bartok No. 3, and Beethoven Op. 132, the great A minor Quartet.
