Product Description
A virtuoso and astonishing expressiveness take on the essence of Prokofiev!
Violinist Nemanja Radulović says, "Prokofiev's music has an astonishing quality: a search for truth while traversing between light and shadow."
This Prokofiev album features Nemanja, praised as a performer possessing both "lyrical delicacy" and "virtuoso technique." It centers around the Violin Concerto No. 2 (conducted by Santtu-Matias Rouvali with the Philharmonia Orchestra), and also includes the Unaccompanied Violin Sonata and the Sonata for Two Violins (with Johan Dalene). Furthermore, it includes "Five Melodies," Op. 35a, performed with pianist Laurel Favre-Kahn, as well as arrangements from ballet and opera.
Nemanja, who positions Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2 as "a work that reflects Prokofiev's inner conflict, caught between the two worlds of Western Europe and the Soviet Union," says of this recording, "Rouvali and the Philharmonia Orchestra breathed life into the work with fearless artistry and vivid dynamism." This album encapsulates the multifaceted charm of Prokofiev.
