Opera, Prokofiev (composer)
-
[Gerhardt] matches [Rostropovich] note-for-note, with a degree of eye-watering finesse that would have surely made his hero smile. The same can be said for the mercurial moto perpetuo of Christian... —

Staatskapelle Berlin, Daniel Barenboim (conductor) & Dmitri Tcherniakov (stage director)
Barenboim's crystal-clear pacing of the score is hard-hitting rather than quicksilvery, but the payoff in the last Act is terrific, and the blue-lit look of it all - Tcherniakov designed it,... —

Special offer. Prokofiev: The Love for Three Oranges
RecommendedBacquier, Viala, Gautier, Dubosc & Bastin
Choeurs et Orchestre de l'Opéra national de Lyon, Kent Nagano
The only problem with Nagano's effervescent Three Oranges is that it's available with almost the same ensemble cast on an even more enjoyable DVD version. —

Prokofiev for Two
RecommendedAll works transcribed for two pianos by Sergei Babayan.
Martha Argerich (piano) & Sergei Babayan (piano)
Argerich and Babayan excel at the hard-hitting stuff, which also includes the opening and closing of Babayan’s idiosyncratic Romo and Juliet sequence. The percussive chords at the beginning... —

Prokofiev
Nemanja Radulović (violin), Philharmonia Orchestra, Santtu-Matias Rouvali, Laure Favre-Kahn (piano), Johan Dalene (violin)
There’s a daredevil freshness about Nemanja Radulović’s playing that makes this generously filled disc of Prokofiev particularly rewarding...The concerto receives a subtle, supportive reading... —

Visions of Prokofiev
RecommendedLisa Batiashvili (violin)
Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Yannick Nézet-Séguin
Nézet-Séguin cues a fine-spun accompaniment at the start and close of No. 1. Whereas he, the COR and Batiashvili collude for a carping attack at the centre of the Scherzo…She perfectly captures... —
