Brumberg received his training at the Moscow Conservatory with Heinrich Neuhaus (piano), Nikolai Mjaskowski (composition) and Dmitri Schostakowitsch (instrumentation).

Freed from the constraints of state administration, he then began to concert internationally. He worked with well-known conductors such as Gennady Roshdestvensky , Evgeny Svetlanov , Kyrill Kondrashin and Zubin Mehta . He was a regular guest at the Rheingau Music Festival , where he performed all of Chopin's works in 1996. His pianistic achievements are documented on numerous sound carriers.
As a pedagogue, he first became the assistant to his teacher Neuhaus, before taking on a professorship at the Gnessin Institute . After his emigration he settled in Vienna, where he held a professorship at the city conservatory from 1982 to 1998 .
