Excerpt from The Journal of a Musician's Winter 2007 Issue
Interview with pianist Yefim Bronfman, by Consuelo Lepauw:
Consuelo Lepauw.: Where do you feel is home to you?
Yefim Bronfman: For musicians it’s very strange to find a home.
After traveling for so many years, I feel that my home is where I can
make music. And yet when I am touring, I miss my home in New
York, but if I am at home, I want to go and play. You know, it’s kind
of a restless circle. I always look forward to going back home; but I
think that my home is New York.
C.L.: What are your favorite museums?
Y.B.: Well, I love the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Let’s see,
what are my favorite museums? I love the Frick Collection. I love
the Guggenheim Museum in New York. I love the Tretakyov Gallery
in Moscow for its unique painting collection; the Pushkin Museum is
pretty spectacular also, in Moscow. Of course the Paris museums
are extraordinary: the Picasso museum and the Louvre. There’s one
in Lucerne [Switzerland] that is phenomenal. So I can go on about
museums forever!
C.L.: Do you think that any other art has the same power as
music to change the world?
Y.B.: I think that every form of art is powerful. It’s no wonder
that some of the politicians like Stalin and Hitler were afraid
of artistic expression, and that they banned some of the arts
under their regimes. Art has a way to inspire people,
especially words. I mean music and painting are powerful, but
the words, the poetry! How many poets were killed or sent to
Siberia, because of the words in their prose and in their
books? It changes societies. Even when art is not allowed,
there are still people who do it. There’s a mysterious force
over art. That’s why art’s existence or power will always be.
The human spirit is carried by the arts and not by politics.
C.L.: If you had not become a musician, what profession would
you have chosen?
Y.B.: I’d probably be a bum.
