KC Symphony, Yefim Bronfman review by Paul Horsley

The dense contrapuntal passages of Bartok’s Second Piano Concerto can put a concert hall’s acoustics to test, and at the Kansas City Symphony’s program on March 30th Helzberg Hall responded with clarity and warmth. The soloist was the king of clangorous concertos, Yefim Bronfman, and he brought an apt mix of the percussive and the lyrical to the demanding piece, giving melodic passages their due if at times over-pedaling some of the busier textures.
