About
After his Bach (2024) album, Nemanja Radulović returns with a recording dedicated to Sergei Prokofiev, exploring the breadth of the composer’s writing for violin.
The album spans concerto, solo, chamber, and arranged repertoire, uniting major cornerstones with iconic stage music from Romeo and Juliet, Cinderella, The Love for Three Oranges, and the Classical Symphony.
Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2 is recorded with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Santtu-Matias Rouvali, extending a collaboration already acclaimed in concert for its clarity and energy.
“There is something wondrous in the music of Sergei Prokofiev,” says Nemanja Radulović, “as if it constantly moves between light and shadow, searching for truth through contrast, sarcasm, magic, love, irony, and beauty.” Now the violinist – praised by The Times for both his “lyric delicacy” and “super-virtuosity” – has recorded an entire album devoted to Prokofiev. It embraces a variety of musical genres: the Violin Concerto No 2 (with the Philharmonia Orchestra under its principal conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali); the Sonata for Solo Violin; the Sonata for Two Violins (with Johan Dalene), and (with pianist Laure Favre-Kahn), the Five Melodies Op.35bis and arrangements of excerpts from the ballets Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella, the opera The Love for Three Oranges, and the ‘Classical’ Symphony.

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 from Rouvali, who is happy to play second fiddle to the star turn.
