CD Reviews

Killer Prokofiev

David Gottner | 10/01/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you are only going to buy one recording of the prokofiev piano concertos, then this is the recording to buy.This is the most fiery and dynamic (ok, bombastic) recordings of these concertos I have heard, and the orchestra and soloists both agree on the style of the music. (The orchestra contributes significantly to the overall impact of the music in contrast to many other recordings where the orchestra is just there to play the notes.) The soloists are awesome.The 3RD concerto is a bit lacking, in that compared to the Ashkenazy version, it lacked sensitivity and was not as transparent, yet it is still a good reading. (My favorite version of the 3RD was a live concert given by Lang-Lang, which had a perfect balance between bombaat and flowing melodic lines. If he ever records it, I'll be the first to snarf it up...)"
