This is the second album in the Russian Piano series devoted to Prokofiev and includes his First and Sixth Sonatas and other works demonstrating his wide ranging soundworld. His eclecticism has defined him as a very ‘serious’ composer of post-Romantic, neo-tonal works – often modernistic and at times aggressive – to be appreciated by a wider general audience than many of his contemporaries.
