CD Reviews

One of the best of Prokofiev's First Concerto recordings

T. Q. Nguyen | Boston, MA | 03/11/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Zimmermann plays the Second Concerto very well and very beautifully. However, the reason I wrote the review is the First Concerto. In my opinion, it's one of the very best recordings of this piece. All the technical challenges are forgotten, only music speaks to you. The violin sings everything, especially the last movement is my favorite. I always prefer the first concerto to the second, so I'm happy.

This and Oirstrakh's recording are something you should have if you love this amazing piece."
