Pianist Yefim Bronfman made his debut in Shanghai at the opening concert of the Music in the Summer Air festival with the New York Philharmonic orchestra on Sunday.

Since 2010, the outdoor music festival has been hosted each year by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, aiming to take classical music to a wider audience.

As an influential musician, Bronfman is known for his technique and wide repertoire, ranging from classical Beethoven and Brahms pieces to modern works by composers, such as Magnus Lindberg and Esa-Pekka Salonen, says Gu Chao, a music critic in Shanghai.

The Israeli-American played Brahms' Piano Concerto No 2 with the New York Philharmonic under the baton of Alan Gilbert at the festival's opening on Sunday.

"He went through the most challenging part with great ease," says Gu.

Li Changying, another music critic from the city, says Bronfman's interpretation was "clear and full of intricacy, and in contrast with his sturdy physique".

Bronfman was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in 1958, and moved to Israel with his family at age 15.

During World War II, lots of outstanding musicians went to Tashkent, the Uzbek capital, and they stayed on after the war had ended. As a result, Tashkent had good music schools, Bronfman told the media in Shanghai about the beginning of his music studies.

It was in 1978 that Bronfman first played with the New York Philharmonic, alongside Chinese-American cellist Yo-Yo Ma. In the next year, he played with famous conductor Zubin Mehta for the orchestra's new season opening.

Bronfman is active in the international scene, playing concerts, recordings and collaborating with other instrumentalists and modern composers. He won a Grammy in 1997.

"You have to remind yourself it is a privilege to be a musician, and be an ambassador of music," Bronfman says, "because without music, we would be living in a jungle."

He says he was happy to see a large number of young people at the Shanghai festival. Classical music can be a complex language. When he was 17, he didn't understand "the language of Brahms" but kept practicing the pieces.
