On her third PENTATONE album Nostalgia, Magdalena Kožená presents Bartók’s Village Scenes, Mussorgsky’s The Nursery and a selection of Brahms songs, together with acclaimed pianist Yefim Bronfman. Sung in Slovak, Russian and German, these songs on love, longing and innocence show three master composers transforming folk traditions into their unique musical styles.

Zubin Mehta has had a decades-long artistic relationship and deep friendship with the Munich Philharmonic. Since conducting his first concert with the orchestra in 1987, he has been a regular guest there and in 2004 was named the orchestra's first and so far only "honorary conductor". Twenty years later, the orchestra celebrated this anniversary with the two piano concertos played by one of today's most celebrated and admired pianists: Yefim Bronfman.

Israeli-American pianist Yefim Bronfman has wowed critics and audiences worldwide for decades with his solo recitals, prestigious orchestral engagements, and expanding catalogue of recordings. In this recording from 1987 he interprets some of Johannes Brahms’ most admired piano works: 4 Piano Pieces, Op. 119, and Variations & Fugue on a Theme by Handel. With virtuosic technique and profound musical sensitivity, young Yefim Bronfman transports the listeners into the complex sonic realms of Brahms’ works. A pure pleasure to listen to.
