Yefim Bronfman reviews

The success of this recording is due in no small part to the sensitive balancing of Brahms’s richly upholstered piano writing with the flute’s essentially gentle voice by producer Stephen Johns and engineer Paul Zinman. Without in any way robbing Yefim Bronfman’s glorious pianism of its Brahmsian depth and colour, Emmanuel Pahud’s exquisitely pure sound floats in and out of the music’s rolling textures as though it was the most natural thing in the world.
