Synopsis

Amazon.com

Most of this music, excluding Romeo and Juliet, comes from an LP that was Yekaterina Ervy-Novitskaya's debut U.S. release. It caused a minor sensation at the time, as critics generally agreed it contained some of the most flavorful Prokofiev performances ever recorded. She was only 18 at the time, and had just won first prize in the Queen Elizabeth of Belgium competition. But only a few years later, she moved to Belgium and gave up concert playing to raise a family. Since these performances still sound as superb as they did when they were first released, I hope the concert comeback mentioned in the program notes goes well. This is a pianist I'd pay money to hear. --Leslie Gerber

Crystalline wonder

Michael Bradburn-Ruster | Prescott, AZ USA | 03/27/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"After 35 years, this remains one of the most amazing piano recordings I have ever heard. The power and poetry of this performance ranks alongside the sorcery of Martha Argerich and Sviatoslav Richter: ranging from the most delicate, tentative suggestion to a fierce, overwhelming utterance.
Here we have the full spectrum of Prokofiev's genius: the quirky line that unexpectedly reveals a glimpse of irony or melancholy; the harmony that treads a fine line between searing dissonance and soaring convergence.
Yekaterina Novitskaya plays not only with remarkable skill, but with an intelligence that is palpable."
